Yeah, that one was made by a local guy who runs a print shop. Super nice dude, but his sticker quality isn't on par with the places that do stickers only.The printing is great but the stickers don't stay stuck. Maybe I will do a reprint.

Is this your latest design?

I wonder if it’s the type you ordered? The ones we have by that printer have been on our trucks for over a year for mine and two for Dom’s and they are doing great. Outside windows with no garage time.
Yep. It's been 18 months or thereabouts since I've done a new Hell Yeah sticker.
He didn't ask me "Which type of sticker do you want -- the kind that sticks for a good long while or the shittier version?" I was more worried about the UV coating to keep the colors from fading (and the colors have done well). But I've had more than one sticker from the same vendor with this problem so I have moved on. It's good that your results have been better. I'm not willing to risk my meager dollars on stickers again at this point, but I wouldn't hesitate to use him for some other kind of printing. I like working with a local dude but results have been disappointing.

Thought about this a little more and thought I would share my decision-making tree. I do prefer to go local.
Scenario 1. Online vendor offers bargain prices. Local vendor is more expensive. Difference is enough to buy a nice lunch at a restaurant, not just pennies. My choice: local vendor.
Scenario 2. Shipping is free with online vendors. Local vendor either requires me to pick up in person (at least an hour of my time + fuel) or charges for shipping. My choice: local vendor, paid for shipping.
Scenario 3. Quality of stickers from online vendor is excellent: stickers don't fade and stay stuck for years. Quality of stickers from local vendor is not good -- stickers inside my garage are peeling up after only one year. My choice: I can't continue with the local vendor. My loyalty only goes so far.
It's not a money issue. I am willing to pay more to support local businesses. But when quality suffers, I must go elsewhere.
These three scenarios are not made up. All were true of several orders in 2024 and 2025.

Sorry that experience happened to you. You also have to do what makes sense to you and based off your experiences I understand it.

Saw this guy on holy cross Saturday. He wasn’t on the trail when I went past, (leading), but came down to say hi to some if the others behind me.
It was awesome. Three-hour show. They played 27 songs including the entire first side of 2112. If you're going tomorrow night, you're gonna love it!

So wanted to go just couldn't stomach ticket prices. Last time I saw them was the R30 tour at Red Rocks. 3 guys who can put out a lot of noise. So glad to see them on tour again.

i was definitely one of the most expensive tickets i've ever purchased! I'd never seen Rush before (always thought i'd catch the next tour, then Neil left the earth) so i figured i better go this round.. who knows if they will tour again....So wanted to go just couldn't stomach ticket prices.

I first saw them back in 81' in Cleveland and many times since, they just seem to get better and better and they put on a hell of show. They have been floating the idea of doing some Sphere shows in Vegas and maybe some new music. We can only hope.
Flying back from St. Louis. This is either eastern Colorado or Southern Wyoming.
I love energy that doesn't require U.S. money going to an extremely rich family in Saudi.

I've seen Rush at least a half dozen times starting around 1975 (I'm an old phart). They were the first warm up band for the headliner Aerosmith. REO Speedwagon was the second warmup band. Nobody had heard of them but when they played Working Man they got our attention! They had just come out with Caress of Steel and we all rushed out to buy the album. Then they came out with 2112 and we were all totally hooked. The last time I saw them at Fiddler's Green, it was my son's first concert at 12 years old. He's a talented drummer and a huge Niel Peart fan.
@JadeRunner and I have been in a number of bands together and Limelight is a song we've played together many times at gigs we played, Tom Sawyer as well as Bastille Day.
When they recruited Anika Niles to replace Neil for their current tour, I went to you tube to see what she was like, and her wild time signatures were totally Neil.
Last time I texted @JadeRunner about her joining the band and their 2026 tour he said he was planning on going to NY to see them with his daughter. This was before they added Denver to their tour. I figure I've seen them enough times already I have those memories in my head. The first time I saw them the tickets were $5.50.
They're still one of my very favorite bands.

Yea they were great at the Garden in NYC this summer and even better in Denver (2nd show). Been going to all their Denver shows ever since Moving Pictures at McNichols arena. They have been my inspiration as a drummer ever since.

Scott (@JadeRunner ) is one of the few drummers I have had the pleasure to play with that can play Neil Peart note for note on his 5 piece.
