Geddy Lee's best-selling memoir My Effin' Life was officially released last month and back on November 13th Geddy kicked off his spoken word In Conversation book tour at the Beacon Theatre in New York City with guest speaker Paul Rudd. He then headed to Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Boston, Cleveland, Montreal, Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, Detroit, and wrapped up the North American leg in Toronto with none other than Alex Lifeson. He kicked off the UK leg of the tour in Wolverhampton this past Sunday, and he'll continue tonight with a stop at City Hall in Sheffield with tickets still available. All attendees will receive a copy of Ged's book, along with a 16 page color tour book upon entering the venue. Rush has set up an online form where attendees can submit questions for Geddy prior to the show at this link. Geddy has also been taking a high-res audience selfie from the stage after every show, and posting them for download on Rush.com. For a complete rundown of the format and highlights from all the shows thus far, view the links below for RIAB's coverage of each night. After tonight's appearance, Geddy will head to Glasgow tomorrow evening before taking a short break until he wraps up the UK leg with shows in Portsmouth and London this coming Sunday and Monday respectively. You can get all the details and learn how to get tickets at Rush.com.
