U2 Tour Dates - Now Official! — Page 194

I wasn't going to bother. I guess I'll leave it up to the weather. If it's raining, I'm not going to bring my LP. If it's just cold and doesn't look like it'll rain, maybe I'll bring it, just in case. I read somewhere that they aren't doing soundchecks very much on this leg, so they've been showing up really late and just scooting in. I don't know how accurate that is, but that's what I've read (and there don't seem to be many postings on that Experiences sub-forum on interference that I remember being filled w/ pix and stuff on the first leg.

Why are you bored?

Go for a jog, a swim, a breath of fresh air. There's a whole world away from your computer, y'know. Shoo.

Random fact of the day:

Tiff makes tea with used tampons instead of tea-bags.

By the way, a belated greeting to anjilly! I'm Ellie - the epitome of class and understated wit. Mabel, back me up.

Why, thank you, Mabs. Truer words have never been spoken.

Anyway, must dash - off for a full crotch wax. Billie Joe just hates getting hair in his teeth. Toodles!

Not only did I see the WMUWSE video, but I also caught some making the video-type thing for it. WTF, indeed! What a horrible, horrible video! The fact that they thought it was so poignant made it that much worse. *shudder* Tacky, tacky, TACKY!

---

I enjoy the song, but the video (w/ all their sappy banter in the middle of it) is definitely not their best effort! Sorry, El.

---

No, as far as I know, we don't have Ed the Sock here. Sounds tres amusant though!...That video! Ugh! I was watching the making of thing (it was on some random station that I got over the summer, not the MTV Making the Video) and I actually couldn't watch the whole thing. They were so proud of themselves. Ick!

Oh, I was just reading this article on Edge on interference (rather interesting, though you have to read the scans that someone posted, which is a bit of a pain) I'll post the link below. Anyway, one little tidbit that I enjoyed (adding further fuel to my Adam's a flamer fire). Did you know that Larry and Adam had nicknames a la Edge and Bono as well?? Well, Larry was "Jam Jar" (WTF?!?) and Adam was...Wait for it..."Mrs. Burns"!! Oh, and Bono's full name was "Bono Vox of O'Connell Street." Obviously I knew the Bono Vox bit, but I'd never heard the "of O'Connell Street." Anyway, twas an enjoyable read. Oh, and I forgot, another Adam gem (describing the boys arriving at Logan after their Boston shows in October) "Adam Clayton sweeps past in shiny, green, ankle-length gown." Ummm...I want to see this alleged "Suzie." I'm thinking it's more like Steve. C'mon Adam, let's be honest!


Edge article/interview.

I'm sure in Adam's mind, Bono is indeed Mr. Burns!...A shimmering, green, ankle-length gown?!? Adam, you sexy beast!

Also, have you seen any recent pix of Adam Pascal's wife? Good lord, she's a fright! She is one of the scariest individuals I think I've ever seen. She always looks like she's going to tear someone's face off. I would not want to have a run in with her. She scares the crap out of me. I'm sure she's probably a very nice woman. I'm just saying, I've never seen her look even remotely cheery or personable.

TAKE ME WITH YOU ALLIEEEEEE!!!!

You just reminded me that I need to see if I won 6/49 yesterday.

I totally agree, Nic. I've seen pics of Cybele and she just looks like a mighty vicious woman. Something about her severe features - she scares me.

---

Back off, woman! I'm closer to Montreal!!! Wake Up live...AAAAHHHHHH!!! Oh well, at least I heard it live w/ Bowie. I suppose I'm fine w/ settling with that...Good luck, Allie! That would certainly be one hell of a concert!!!

And yeah, Cybele is one vicious femme. I think vicious is spot on (but it's totally in an "I'll F*CK you up" way, not an "I'm a strong-willed individual" way).

---

Tiffany, Tiffany, Tiffany! Passing up on work to go see Harry Potter. Geez!...And you didn't go to a midnight showing? What gives?! You slacker, you.

I just got back from this 1/2 hour session w/ some computery guy who was supposed to help me with this stupid website for my horrible WS class, and he just did a bunch of stuff that I couldn't follow, handed me back my disc, and that was that. I have no idea what he did (though it involved making some links to various pages of the site I'll eventually be making). I have no idea. Ugh! I should have dropped that damn class. I really, really dislike it.

Oh, Pat and anjilly...just figured I'd give you a heads up that the weather forecast has changed (shock!)...right now, poor Claire is looking like she may get the rain. But worse...Wednesday's now got snow in the forecast!!!


Who knows what they'll be predicting tomorrow!

---

I hope you guys have warm enough clothes for the NYC visit! I just figured I'd toss out that there might be snow in store, just in case you'd see fit to pack accordingly. Hopefully it won't be anything too drastic. The bus ride should be interesting. Holiday traffic and show. Faaaabulous!

Good luck getting all your stuff together, Pat. I'm always a last minute packer, so I always feel like I'm forgetting something when it's getting down to the wire.

---

I think it would be pretty neat if it snowed when you came, the first time I came it snowed slightly one afternoon, and it really sealed the trip for me. (Of course I had been living in the North Carolina mountains, where it snows all the time.)

Pat- If you get the chance can you pm me your movie thoughts. I really want to know where your objections come in, I can think of some places. If a movie actually gets me in the door I usually give a rave, if it's not terrible, I just see so few now.

PofA used to be my favorite book, but now I'm torn on all of the last four, I can't keep my mind made up for longer than a day. (that I happen to think about it)
