U2 Tour Dates - Now Official! — Page 69

Oooh, exciting Tiff! Is that Seattle I or II??

It'd be a tough call between Elton and Paul. I'm opting for Paul this time around since I had to bump Elton in favor of U2 the day they both went on sale. I saw him from mere feet away, so I feel like I've had my Elton moment, and I'm cool w/ that. It was great fun though! Still haven't seen Paul up on TB though. Boston was up last time I checked ($50 seats...I wonder what's up w/ those few that are in the hundreds for lowest priced tix???)

Ooooh, I think you'll end up being much better off w/ Seattle II. It seems like the sound's always better on the second night (seemed like a lot of problems last night in Denver) and the setlists seem a bit more shaken up. I'd think you've got a much better shot at hearing Bad (or at least something out of the ordinary) at your show.

I saw Elton my senior year in high school w/ my mom. We got tix the day of the concert, and they were like AA, Section 3 on the floor ($72!!!) We were thinking they'll either be way in the back on the floor, like a big block in front being section 1, then a middle section, and the back being 3, so needless to say, we were more than a bit freaked when we were escorted down to the VERY front row. It was totally surreal. We were running a bit late (there was no opening act) and he'd just started playing a piano intro w/ the lights all off. So we go walking past all these people in the dark w/ the usher and the flashlight and the whole nine yards. As if being in the front row wasn't enough, we were on the left side, RIGHT in front of the piano. It was crazy!!! I wore my Aida had and he even pointed at me and waved at one point! Woohoo!!!

Twas amazing Ellie. It'd be fun to catch him again sometime, but I've already had my Elton experience (and I saw him w/ Billy Joel a couple years ago...nosebleeds, and a bit of a disappointment all around). So, it's Paul all the way!

I wish Green Day would play in New York. Jerks! Oh well, I need another concert to buy tickets to like a hole in the head, so it's probably just as well.

Does he sing Beatles songs???

Are you thick, woman??? Didn't you see the mass media coverage of his last tour? He sings about thirty Beatles songs, inducing mass orgasm. A true fan, are you?? Pah.

I take it I've stunned you into silence. I have that effect on people.

*pats stun gun*

*looks at Ellie*

*think of MtM*

*eyes well up with tears*

Why is everyone so mean to me????

*runs off to cry*

---

Retard. Second-to-last page of the Bitches thread.

*continues to cry*

---

Yes I did. Still feel like SH*T though. I think the worst part is the retrospect, when you think of all the additional things you COULD have and SHOULD have said to him but didn't think of it till later. The whole situation just pisses me off. I can't even focus today, just from thinking about it. It just wasn't the right time of year for him to F*CK with me.

---

It's not just name-calling. It's the fact that in addition to his attacks against my person, he also attacked my intellect and education, which are sore spots right now. He might as well have just called me fat and ugly, such as a coworker did last year.

Hi girls!

Thanks for the good-Gracie thoughts:) Poor little girl She's a real trouper. (The sub-q shots aren't terrible, but I still feel bad doing it!)

We are 8th row way on the side for Elton at Cox Arena in SD.

Mabel, that is so cool about the Aida hat shout-out! Glad to know you have "my" show from another source in case the ebay guy doesn't follow through. yay!

Tiff and Ellie, if you both stay on your own side of the armrest, I will play BOTH John and Paul-centric tracks, but you need to play nice! Seatbelts on! That's better. Cran-grape or Cran-apple? No, it's only Thursday. No sunny-D until tomorrow!

(Oh, and btw, I don't know if they tour nationally, but there is a GREAT Beatles tribute band called The Fab Four that I have seen 2x....took my parents a few years ago and my mom and I were girlie-screaming at their "George" (hot in a Crudup-ish way!!!). And my MOM got her ass grabbed (not by the band)! They do sets from each era w/ accompanying costume changes.)

That Heather's leg comment almost made me spit diet coke all over the keyboard. Too funny.

eta: Tiff, he's a BONEHEAD!!!!!!!!!

Awesome. I know a lot of his solo stuff, but who am I kidding--I wanna hear the Beatles.

(I'm a loyal fan...right? *sulk*)

Wow! That IS a lot of Beatles! Where was it? Boston?
