U2 Tour Dates - Now Official! — Page 71

Mabel, that was the very Paul McCartney concert that I was at!!! Small world, eh? We could have been right next to each other. I was the startlingly attractive blonde that everyone was admiring. Surely you remember me. I had to keep reminding folks to turn around and look at Paul, not me.
*sigh* It's tough being gorgeous.

That's why I hope U2 record the MSG shows for the DVD! October will mark the second concert we will both have attended - see you there!

Cool indeed! It was a great show. You weren't the one I saw crying were you? I wonder if his latest tour will be as Beatles-friendly. I can't remember exactly where I was sitting in 2002...it was in the 100s though. 'Twas a fab show. It's nice to be able to converse with a fellow Beatles fan...someone who doesn't refer to Paul as Mr.McCarthy.

Yes, 3 from Driving Rain is more than enough. Not that I don't love all of Paul's work...*nervous giggle*...

Anyway ladies...I'm off out for a wild Friday night now, and in the morn I shall head to Atlantic City, so fare thee well until after the weekend. I'm off to see Green Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

Did you hear me? Green Day! I just know they will be amazing.

Bye!

Aaaand I'm back from dinner w/ friends. I was supposed to go see The Interpreter, but I passed...just as well, because I'm feeling a little funky (funnily enough, my roommate's watching 20/20 and they're doing a story on food poisoning...not that I think I have food poisoning, but something's not agreeing w/ me)

Anyway, have a blast tomorrow Ells. I expect a full report after Green Day!

I know, I heard it was bad too (and I'm not a Kidman fan anyway...sorry Ellie!), but my friend was an extra in it(a delegate at the UN)...not sure if she actually made the final cut or not though. So, we were going to check it out to see.

Thanks for sympathy, Elphie! I think I'm hitting the rack early. God, it's not even 11!!! This is just sad.

My love for Bono is monumental, but somehow Elevation just doesn't seem like it would sound good live. Those "Ooh-ooh-ooh"s have the potential to be very off-key, and the song itself is just...why?

Thank GOD, ladies! We're rid of the blondie wench for the weekend! Who needs Green Day anyway, when you have U2 coming up in three days??

Oh, and on Interference, someone said that apparently there may be a strict no-camera policy in effect. I'm wondering if I should buy a disposable to smuggle in just in case. I can't be on the floor and NOT take pictures, right???




Hee...hitting the rack. I thought you were referring to...never mind. I'm incoherent and exhausted. My last all-nighter of the semester is over!

OMFG...if this is true... *changes pants*

1. Bono in Vancouver -- NOW?

2. Vancouver as the filming location for the DVD??

Totally unconfirmed on both counts (although apparently Vancouver was the Pacific Northwest homebase for U2 when they performed in Seattle for either the last tour or the one before that)...I need to change my pants. Practically speaking, it makes sense since they've probably perfected the acoustics and lighting there by now...a teeny part of me hopes it's not true so I don't kick myself for being stuck going to London instead. (THIS could make me resent the Euro vaca.)

Seriously? Vancouver? I was hoping for MSG, too. Still am. And Tiff, going to Europe is a great opportunity that you were wise to take. Besides, if they do record the dvd in Vancouver, it might not even be at the show that you had tickets to.
Another mabelism that made me laugh: "It'd be a wicked pisser..."

I think they deserve a name, and mabelism fits nicely!
Some people were saying on Interference that 92.3 K-rock was reporting that MSG on 5/21 was postponed. Has anyone else heard anything like that? Some people said they were joking, but it scared me! I don't know if I could go if it were postponed!

Just a quickie before I skip off to bed...YAY TIFF!!! It's officially U2 day!!! WOOHOO!!! (Well, on the east coast at least!...I'm not kicking around until it's past midnight for you.) Have a blast, get up close, take pix if you can, and savor every minute of it! *sending out good GA vibes*...*sending out more vibes for a great setlist*

Well, Tiff, have a blast!!! I'm sure you're already gone, but I was going to suggest getting a cheap pair of flip-flops that you wouldn't care about tossing, wear those all day in line, and then switch to your others w/ heels around concert time.

Yet another night w/ the standard setlist for the first show in a city. Guess that's what I'm getting in Boston. It's totally fine, as long as we get some good stuff in October! Not that the standard setlist isn't full of good stuff...I'd like a variety of good stuff. I want it all!!

What else??? Oh, I checked for Paul McCartney tix in Boston, just for kicks, since I happened to be on ticketbastard around 9:55 and they were going on sale at 10. I got a pair of $50 tix right near the stage, in the hightest section in under a minute wait. I tossed them back and tried again, coming up w/ nothing. So, I'm thinking it's going to be a bit of a challenge getting tix (definitely take the first pair to pop up when MSG goes on sale...whenever the hell that is! It's still not even listed)

Ellie, hope you had fun at Green Day. We're still waiting on a full report!

Anyway, I'm off...busy day. I've got to do laundry, go to the bank, go to class, meet w/ a prof about a journalism article, and then a friend and I are going to try for student tix to Hurlyburly. I'm picking away at my "to see" list. Need the 'rents to let me know what they're going to want to see when they come to help pack me up (totally a three person job, with my cursed pack-ratting!) I saw ...Virginia Woolf? on Sat, and have a cheapie to see All Shook Up (not even on the list, but the ticket was too cheap to pass up) for tomorrow.

Have a good one, ladies!

Yeah, it certainly is nice to be in the city!!! Though, I'll be going home in a couple of weeks until the end of May, and then (*knock on wood*) off to work at West Point for the summer, so I've got to try to get in as many shows now as possible! I've heard good things about Hurlyburly, and I think I'll have a better shot at student tix, now that they've moved to a bigger theatre. We shall see!

Anyone here to follow the concert with me? It's coming up! (kind of). Supposedly Eddie Vedder is playing with Kings of Leon tonight. I'm not too familiar with him, but it should add some excitement to their set I believe.
