Happy New Year to everyone! Looks like we should have some new Rush tour news soon, according to Rushisaband.

Here are a few updates from the site from the past few weeks:

• I updated the right menu on the Neil Peart home page. With this menu, you can now go directly to Neil Peart articles, news, and quality reading issues directly from the menu. Also, you can hover over most of the menu items for more information -- for example if you hover over March 2007 NEP News, "The Count of Words" pops up.)

  

• One new postcard posted to the Postcards from Neil section.
• One new drum kit posted to the Replicas page. Alessandro Bianchini has refinished his Slingerland kit to match Neil's drums from A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres albums and tours. Very cool!
• A Snakes & Arrows bass drum head replica from Alan Walker.
• New photos posted to the Snakes & Arrows gallery from MonicaZ, Roman Dino, and Ross Halfin.
