HOLY F*CK!!!

I want to cry. I can't make it down there. My suitcase isn't packed, and the filming will probably go late. I knew I shouldn't have left my packing to the last minute! I'm so pissed!

Okay, so City of Blinding Lights isn't all that great, right? Right? I mean, there's only 4000 people who'll be there, and the boys will be lipsyncing the same song over and over again for hours. They're going to be too exhausted to entertain the crowd with, say, I Will F-F-Follow...right? Somehow my concert experience doesn't seem as fun.

Aw, sorry, Tiff. Just keep thinking about how much fun Europe will be!
And your concert experience was AMAZING! Much better than that video shoot. You got to hear 23(?) live songs, many of which were rarities, from the perfect spot. That's pretty lucky. Updated On: 4/27/05 at 06:53 PM

Oh Tiff, I wouldn't worry about missing the video shoot.....

I know it feels lousy but just think--if you managed to get there, then THIS time (the first time was difficult enough for him!) Edge won't be able to resist the temptation, and then, like a black-widow-Yoko, you'll sweep him off his feet and run off together, thereby wrecking his marriage, causing Adam to stalk you guys to wherever your secret rendezvous is and challenging Edge to a rock-off in which they will battle to the death, wielding bass and guitar rather than lance and sword, and then one or both of them will DIE, and then you will have:
1) broken up Edge's marriage
2) broken Adam's heart
3) abruptly cancelled the tour
4) Killed one or both of them
5) BROKEN UP THE BAND.

SO you see, it's really all for the best that you can't get down there for the video, because after the cosmic experience they shared with you on Monday, I'm not sure that they can handle it.

:)


That said.......? I AM SO F-ING EXCITED FOR YOUR SHOW!!!!!!! THOSE PICS BLEW ME AWAY!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Incredible. HOORAY!!!!!!!


(And Miss Mabs, I think you can fit into the youth tee--just my .02!)


OMIGOD those pics are insane!!!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU!

Now go pack.

Oooohhh, groupie!!! Have I ever told you how much I love you!!! (re: the kiddie shirt, of course!) I'll have to give it a good look-see, but considering it'll probably end up shrinking, and I'm not a fan of riding up t-shirts, I may pass when the time comes.

Oh, and that masive rant on why it's all for the best that Tiff doesn't go to the shoot was hi-freaking-larious!!! (Also, doesn't it seem odd that they aren't filming it in NYC??? I know they already shot ABOY here, but wouldn't you think the song about NYC would have been filmed in NYC???...just a thought).

Hope the packings moving right along, Tiff. It'll all be worth it...YOU'RE GOING TO EUROPE FOR THREE WEEKS!!!

I will not be ungrateful and just be happy that I saw the band up close, which would not happen if I had gone tonight. Adam will still love me and they will not play I Will Follow or 40 as a way to entertain the crowd.

What was that Tiff??? Something about Adam and "40"??? I think I'll have to go back and read that post again. I think I missed it...Oh wait, was that, I'm incredibly bitter that they didn't play Dischotheque??? Well, there's always hope for October!

Wow.

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 4/27/05 at 8:08pm

Stupid Europe trip. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I've gained weight, my detox has made my face look like a pepperoni pizza, I've got a bruise in the middle of my forehead after I smoked it on the barricade of the GA line, and in 3 minutes, 4000 Vancouverites will be storming GM Place to listen to U2 play COBL and other songs for hours, and I'm not one of them. And all I've done for packing is thrown 14 pairs of panties into my suitcase. And I'm done for 24 days. And had I known about this just a few hours earlier, I would have finished and been at GM Place right now.



But maybe Grownup's right. By sacrificing my spot in the GM Place line, I've saved Edge's marriage, thus saving his image and his career and protected millions of naive U2 fans from the pain of knowing that he doesn't love THEM, just ME. Wow. I'm really noble! I shall denounce my Princess Cupcake moniker and now only be addressed as Joan of Arc. It seems fair. You know, I had to take one for the team, right? You ladies better be thanking me. Because I'm sitting here typing this to you, you guys still have concerts to attend this year!

(PS. My secret rendezvous location with Adam is in Bono's dressing room. I've still got my priorities right.)

(PPS. I don't know what you look like, Mabs, so the junior tee might fit. The waist is probably around 30-32 inches, so it's not too bad - it's the boobs I'd worry about. I'm only a B cup, but when I looked down, I could see the V and nothing else. )

(PPPS. Okay, one more picture from my stash to cheer me up. It's not like my view tonight would beat this, right??)






Sincerely Yours,
Joan

Tiff, it looks like Bono's looking at you in that picture! And you know how lucky you are to have seen the best show so far on this tour, right?

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 4/27/05 at 8:16pm

*nods vigorously, more for my sake than yours* Yup, uh-huh! He was looking right at me. I could see the love in his eyes. Through, er, the dark sunglasses. Can you keep a secret? You know that "bull fighting"/chasing around the run that he and Adam were engaging in? It was because My Bono proposed to me too, and the boys decided to duel for me. Yup. I just didn't want to say anything. I'm nice like that. The homoerotic subtext was sorta hot though.

And yeah, if the reports really are true, it seems like Seattle 2's energy and crowd blew the SH*T outta the other cities. Is it vindictive and mean of me that I hope Vancouver 1 and 2 doesn't live up to the hype? Apparently COBL is shooting the video tonight, as well as during Vancouver 1 and 2.



And Mabel, re: Discotheque...Whore.

Oooh, if the chestal area is the only thing in question, no worries for me. I'm as flat as a little boy...okay, maybe that's a stretch, but it wouldn't be a prob for me!

I also like the trippy pic of Bono and Adam!

And I feel for ya bout the GM Place. I'll be crying on the inside if they indeed put on a show in Bryant Park as soon as I'm out of the city! Boooo!!!

So, she's just back from an amazing U2 concert, she flaunts her fab photos, she boasts about how close she was, she whines about how she has to jetset around Europe for three weeks...and we feel sorry for her??? My heart bleeds.

Ho.

Ellie!!! Where the hell have you been?!?!?!

How was Green Day??? Did you molest Billie??? Details, details!

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 4/27/05 at 8:44pm

Aww, man. I was hoping to be loving London and avoiding Ellie until I got home. Ugh. *monotone* Hi Ellie. How was Green Day? *stifles yawn* Did you like Atlantic City?

Oh and Mabel, when's Boston again? Vancouver has a ridiculously cheap flight seat sale where I can get RT airfare for US$139 total, as opposed to the US$500 it would normally cost. If I could get good scalper seats, I'm totally there.

Oops, I screwed up the screen again. I'll resize.

May 24, 26, and 28th. I'm going to the 24th, but I'm casually looking for a cheapie for the 26th (even though I know I shouldn't) *guilty shrug*

Oh, btw, someone was inquiring on about paying for a signed copy of the DRS promo. I don't want to sell mine, but if the price was right, I'd consider it. How much do you think would be a good price?

[Ellie3]

Posted: 4/27/05 at 8:53pm

Green Day was absolutely, mind-blowingly, out-of-this-world amazing. I was in ecstacy the whole show. And duh, of course I molested Billie! He molested me too, natch. I am now pregnant with BJ Junior. *sigh* The man is a God. Really. A GOD. I was so close to the front, I ended up drenched in his man-sweat, which I hastily licked dry. Delicious. This is a U2 thread so I'll keep my "fangirling" to a minimum, especially since Tiff is currently on a U2 high. Although, it's not really fangirling when you're carrying his child is it?

Atlantic City was meh.

Tiff, those photos are fabu...I wish I had brought a camera to the Green Day show now. Although the crowd was so wild it probably would have been jostled out of my hand and smashed. Oh, well...I guess the nude photos that BJ and I have been exchanging will have to suffice.

A promo CD? Hmm...if I lived in the city, I'd know that once they release the actual OBCR, I could easily get them to autograph it all over again...hard to put a price on it because I don't know how competitive the market is or what the average price would be. I would say if I sold the CD for over US$75, I wouldn't lose too much sleep at night. Is that high or low?

Here's an edited pic of Bono during Sunday Bloody Sunday going apeSH*T on the drums at the front of the run. He killed those things. It was hot.

Okay, I just resized the other photo. My screen is fine. Et tu?

Ellie, how were your seats again? Continue with the fangirling. I'll allow you, since I'll be spending the rest of the evening giving you a tedious blow-by-blow of every single notable moment from Monday, equipped with visuals. So continue on. I'll pretend to be here, when really I'm just packing. Kidding! Did they mostly play stuff from AI or a lot of oldies too?

[#1Elphie]

Posted: 4/27/05 at 9:03pm

$75?! That's a lot, I would never pay that much for a free cd signed by the cast. I was thinking under $20. But who knows, if you could get more, go for it.
My screen's still screwy, but its no biggie.
Ellie, I'm glad Green Day was great!

ETA: screen's fine now, thanks! Updated On: 4/27/05 at 09:03 PM

Posted: 4/27/05 at 9:04pm

Oh, Tiff, what happened with cameras? Did you manage to get your digital camera in? (sorry, you may have said this already).

[mabel]

Posted: 4/27/05 at 9:06pm

I just heard back, and he was thinking around $50, wanting to know exactly who signed it (the entire main cast, including the very hard to get Joanna Gleason and David Yazbek).

<-----Officially torn.

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 4/27/05 at 9:10pm

#1, I would never pay that much for a signed Broadway CD either, but if the market is even a bit as lucrative as the Hollywood memorabilia is, then people will buy for more. $50 doesn't seem too bad, although Joanna Gleason and David Yazbek is a big deal. How much would the CD itself normally go for? Is it the full OBCR?

The camera story was pretty F*CKing stressful. You and Mabel are online now, and Ellie's sulking because BJ left her and her bastard child. Should I get into the details from the beginning? Screw packing. Who does THAT nowadays?
