Today is February 1st, 2012 - or 2.1.12 here in the United States; 2112 day! The Rush fan community suffered a terrible blow last week with the passing of Rush photographer Andrew MacNaughtan, so we can certainly use any excuse to help lift our spirits. So kick back, crank up 2112 and celebrate all things Rush with your fellow Rush fans. To honor the memory of Andrew MacNaughtan, please give to his Art Gives Hope charity if you are able, and take a moment to appreciate all of the great photographs he's taken of our favorite band over the years. To help facilitate the celebration, the folks at RushCon are teaming up with the Rush Radio website to sponsor a 2112 listening party this evening at 9:12PM - 2/1/12 21:12. From the RushCon newsletter:

SYNC UP. ROCK OUT. THE 2112 LISTENING PARTY.

Tune into RushRadio.org on Wednesday February 1, 2012, at 9:12pm (in your time zone) for the world's largest streaming Rush listening party! Simultaneously, join fans across the world in an online chat (tinychat.com/rushcon) as we crank this epic album and fill the world with our music. This is the closest we will get to the year 2112 in our lifetime, so celebrate and assume control!

The party will repeat 4 times, starting at 9:12pm EST, then at 9:12pm Central, Mountain, and Pacific timezones. So everyone will have a chance to join! Or heck, come for all 4 hours! The more Rush fans the better!
