U2 Tour Dates - Now Official! — Page 77

And then everyone left! I think I shouldn't have bitched so much about Kings of Leon. I scared them away. If they think that's bad, wait till they hear the real thing.




I have such pretty pictures too. *cries* It's okay. They'll be developed and on my wall when I get home.

Tiff, have you left already? Doesn't sound like you missed too much. Did you ever get to download Seattle 2? Have a great trip!!!

The Hokey Pokey? Really? I would have loved to see that!
And, since Tiff is gone now, I was trying to make her feel better about missing it, but I seriously would have loved to be there. CoBL is one of my fave songs. But if Tiff isn't that into it, then she probably wouldn't have gotten too much out of the video shoot.
And I don't feel all that bad for her because she got to see the best concert of the tour so far!

Yeah...it would have been fun (especially for the Hokey Pokey!!!..."What if the hokey pokey is what it's all about?" Think about that, man!)

I was pissed that they didn't use any of the Brooklyn Bridge footage in the ABOY video (it was just the driving around on the flatbed/crossing the bridge. Seemed kind of lame to me...wouldn't it make sense to have the last verse or something of them onstage singing it in front of the thousands who showed up for the actual concert???)

Anyway, I'm off...toying w/ the notion (if they are indeed still available) of buying a pair of tix for Boston II. Maybe my mom'll join me! She made a U2 joke the other day. I was so proud of her! I was explaining what the deal w/ GA was (about getting there early, and about the "bomb shelter," and the lotto, etc) And I was saying that even though they were doing the lottery, it'd probably still be a good idea to get there early-ish, so that you could be close to the edge (of the catwalk) and she said "Literally! Of course you want to be as close as possible to The Edge!!!" *beams* I love my mom!

Bye, ladies!

Back again, before I run to the bank and up to Times Square to pick up some tix for shows to see w/ my folks...Elphie, I saw a post on interference from you looking for a single to the 11/22 show at MSG. Didn't you get one on eBay? I hope that didn't fall through! Was it not legit?!?!?! Good luck (and if you could find a pair of cheapies for the Monday show, I'd be tempted to go...don't even start, Ellie!!! I realize I have a problem, but hell, I don't smoke or drink (that often) so think of all the money I have accrued to spoil myself w/!!!)

Au revoir!

This guy wants to sell me a ticket for 11/22 for $100 (300-level behind the stage). He started with $120 and when I said that was too high he said $100. I'm tempted to take it, but I won't. That's too much for me, I gotta stay under $70.
I downloaded Tiff's concert. It sounds really good. I'm listening to it now while I should be studying for my last final of the year, which is tomorrow morning! Bad time to download a concert. It's not the *best* quality, but it's not so bad. If you want me to send it to any of you, let me know, I can burn it.

DAMN!!! I wish I hadn't seen this...gives me a smidgen of hope!

YAY!!! Congrats on being done!!! I'm chipping away at that stupid COM journal that I have to BS. Booo! I think I'm going to finish the entry I'm working on now, and try to get into the last showing of that Show Business documentary. It's just down the street, so I'll swing by and see how many people are there waiting for standby.

Elphie, have you gotten rid of that Tuesday October ticket? Maybe you could trade that for the Tuesday November show? Good luck!!! (though I doubt the setlists will be exactly the same come fall. I'm thinking Crumbs will replace one of the Bomb songs at the very least...and I hope they replace Elevation w/ UtEotW...though that would be an awful lot of AB songs!) I'm still keeping my eyes peeled for a Boston II pair (I guess my mom really wants to go now! I called her last night to tell her how Light in the Piazza was, and mentioned the tix were $100 each, and she was like "Great! Thanks for getting my hopes up!" I'm on a mission to fully convert her!

Anyway, gotta finish this entry! Talk to you later! Good luck packing, and have a safe trip back home!!!

I haven't been keeping up with the tour at all, and I don't think I really will until MSG (I don't want to get my hopes up; I'll just be surprised).
I wish they would do the dvd at MSG! Why Chicago? New York is a much better city.
I'm home now! So much for all the resting I was gonna do, though; my mom has put me to work mulching our yard. I've been doing it all day and probably will be tomorrow.
On Wednesday I think I'll come into the city and do lotto for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (matinee and then evening if I don't get matinee); mabel, have you seen that yet? Did you like it?

Good point about Chicago, I guess it makes sense.
I'm sorry you were sort of let down by Doubt. I would probably have a similar reaction just because all the hype it's gotten has made it out to be this masterpiece in my mind, and it's impossible to live up to that. I really want to see the Pillowman, I hope you like it. Let me know how it is, because I definitely want to see it!
Good luck on all your work! The school year's almost over!

Well, I'm up to 23 pages typed in the last two days (and I saw a play this afternoon and was out doing class-related stuff from noon to 7pm yesterday). Why in the hell am I typing here then?!?! I need to give my fingers a rest!

Elphie, be sure to let me know how DRS is! If I didn't have so much SH*T to do here, I'd offer to swing up to TS and help your lotto odds on Wed afternoon! Well, maybe I'll have caught up more by then (I've still got about 25-30 pages worth of stuff to type up...*head-desk*...*biiiig sigh*)

Yeah, I have a feeling I'm going to go back and forth w/ Doubt. I think I would have liked it more if I wasn't in the last row of the balcony Have you ever been to the Kerr's balcony?...I don't think I've ever been SO HIGH UP!! It was crazy! I'm totally used to sitting in the back of the balcony, but in this theatre, I felt like I was looking straight down at them. It was like sitting in the fourth row on the orchestra, only at the very top of the theatre. Strange.

Yeah, I've been going a bit nuts w/ shows lately! I need to soak them all up before I go home. Looks like I'll miss out on Spelling Bee and Glengarry Glen Ross. Oh well, I managed to catch most of the shows on my list before shipping out!

Time for a mini-nap, and then maybe I'll try to knock a few more pages out. *weeps*

I live relatively near to NYC, but alas, I have to make do with a few trips a year. However on my next visit, hopefully this summer, I shall go show mad, and spend every evening at the theatre! Yay!

*resents Elphie's freedom*
