U2 Tour Dates - Now Official! — Page 192

Oh, we'll see the show. I'll likely buy SRO tickets in the morning just in case and then give them to who ever wins the lotto for me.

We are viewing this Rent visit as "closure" and it seems weird to see it from anywhere other than front row.

I wonder if they have any rush policy for TCP. I haven't looked into it yet. I haven't really been keeping up on my show-going. What was the last thing I saw? Oh, Appian Way. And I think the last show before that was when Tiff was here. A show over the course of a month is really lagging for me! I'm going to have a lot of catching up to do after Thanksgiving.

I think Stephen actually has tickets to The View, so they don't have to contend w/ standby. Always a plus!

I have to get back to reading. I zonked out on the couch for a couple hours. Very bad...Tiff, pop in Disc Two on the Chicago DVD and see how the bonus stuff is. Like how long is the Tour documentary? If it's some 15 minute thing, I don't know if it'd really be worth it...though I think I read a review somewhere saying something about Adam traipsing around in a robe backstage, so I think I may have to spring for the double disc w/ the documentary after all.

---

Tiff, I think the 2 disc is $22 or 23, so I'll just pick it up. But the single disc is only $11 or so...didn't you say that was more than the double-DVD in Canada? Weird.

Ah yes, IML. That was the 15th, I think. So yeah, one other show in more than a month! Pity I haven't actually been saving up $$ w/ my lack of show-going. What the hell have I been spending it on?!?! *sigh* Oh well.

Have fun binging on crazy-expensive food, Tiff! The masochist in me wants to hear all about it as I eat leftovers for the 4th night in a row!!

---

That price for the single disc is CRAZY!!! I think the regular price on the double disc is $30, so I best hop on it before Saturday.

---

Whoops, good reminder! I forgot about that!

What time is it on? I hope it doesn't conflict with America's Next Top Model. (No comments, guys. Kim all the waaaaay!)

---

I wasn't thrilled w/ Edge's "Waa-Waa-Waa"s but compared to Sheryl Crow's dear-in-the-headlights bad performance of Ring of Fire and the beyond bizarre combo of Jerry Lee Lewis and Kid Rock singing Walk the Line, U2's The Wanderer was pretty damn good. I think a bit of a tone down on the Edge would have definitely helped out. I LOVE Edge, but a little of his falsetto goes a long way for me.

---

Yes, they were very good. For the most part, the performances got progressively better as the show's gone on.

---

I hear ya, Stephen! Why closure though? It sounds so final when it doesn't need to be!

That's a tough question to answer really. It just seems like time. Who knows though? Perhaps it will completely reinvent the show for us since we haven't seen it since February of 1999. All I know is that the last time I saw the show I was so indifferent and just bored that I knew it was time to stop because it was having an adverse effect on my memories of something that was so personal and important to me. Does that make any sense at all or do I sound like one of those obnoxious teenie fans?

Apparently they had a really powerful performance on Oprah that I missed.

Yeah, the Oprah performance was incredible. I really wanted to see TCP before that, but it was the performance on Oprah that really made me want to figure out a way to make it work. Of course, I have that on DVD, Tiff and when I finalize the disc it's on, I could easily send you a copy.


When will *A* we joining the crew here?? Has she checked us out already? You haven't been withholding us from her, have you? (I was wondering why she wasn't threatened by her charming hubby hanging around three hot ladies so often!)

I have been encouraging her to come around. She isn't quite the posting junkie that I am. I suspect she'll make an appearance tonight.


You're doing standby for The View, right?


Nope, I have tickets, but not for the day Rent is on. I can't seem to find out who is going to be on our day. The day before is up, the day after is up - nothing on the day of.


What's your accomodation situation? I know you said you already booked - are you in midtown?

We are staying midtown. I won't say the name of the hotel on the open board because I am having a rare moment of security, but it's in a great location. Staying in the high 40s. I got a great rate though, so I doubt I'll be able to match it.

*adds information into already extensive Stephen Stalking File*

Hence the "rare moment of security."

What time do you arrive on Saturday? Are you free to do stuff for most of the afternoon?

We get in late Saturday afternoon. Basically, I am going to check in, freshen up and then go right to the theatre for DRS because I am entering the lottery for smartpenguin78 and yodamarie78 and meeting quite a few BWWers over there.

Looks like Sunday's pretty much packed. Monday will probably be your most open day. You'll have an open afternoon on Tuesday (I'd recommend doing Central Park then, since you'll already be north of Columbus Circle, and the Park is just a few blocks to the east).

Yep, that's the plan exactly.

I wonder if they have any rush policy for TCP. I haven't looked into it yet.

Yeah, they do. First come first serve rush tickets when the box office opens. $25 front two rows.

I am in Row I, but over on the side - so I am considering buying rush tickets and selling my seats at the box office if SP78 is interested in buying them. He had mentioned wanting to see it. I'd just sell him my seats at the Rush price most likely.

Hey there, anjilly!! Welcome aboard.

I don't really have time for a proper response, but I figured I should pop in and say hi...Hi!

ETA: I just looked up the weather for the next 10 days. It looks like it's going to be chilly, but at least it appears to be rain free! *knock on wood*

Welcome again, sp78! Of course you have on mismatched socks. Anything else would be a disappointment. :)

Check your PMs, I sent you a present.

Thanks!
<---- There it is!

Well, that meaning is also aplicable.

It is spec-tac-ular.

Wannabee, had a limited engagement and will be returning for special performances soon. We live in the city. We have quite a few shows to catch together, I figured P and anjilly wouldn't want townies following them all over. The gathering will be "smashing" though.
