Earlier today Sirius XM also announced that they will be hosting a town hall interview with Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson at their New York City studios this coming Friday, November 13th. They are running an online sweepstakes for Sirius XM subscribers to attend the town hall as well:

SiriusXM wants to give you and a guest the chance to attend SiriusXM's Town Hall with Rush. This exclusive event will take place on Friday, November 13 at SiriusXM's NYC studios and will feature original members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson answering questions from an intimate studio audience about their legendary 40-year career, to celebrate the release of the RUSH R40 LIVE DVD+3CD set (out November 20).
