U2 Tour Dates - Now Official! — Page 83

No Bad tonight!!! It was the shortest show thus far (from what I gather on interference). Now I'm going to have it in the back of my mind that I just might have a good shot at hearing Bad (I mean they haven't done it since NJII last Wed...so, maybe?!?!) IF they do play it, I'll call you Elphie!


ETA: Hoorrah!!! Michael Stuhlbarg won the Drama Desk for Best Featured Actor in a play!!!

Oh Ellie! A girl after my own heart...that does tend to be my motto. I don't know what's up w/ me. I'm not quite sure this optimistic thing suits me. So yeah, I'll probably get a 19 song set w/ Vertigo x2 (becuase really, it's totally necessary to have gone to 1 1/2 concerts and hear one so-so song 4 times!)...Yeah, pessimism is totally the way to go!

<----not being sarcastic

*sigh* I just spent 2 hours listening to the crappiest radio station EVER trying to win a pair of floor seats. They would get a caller, talk to her (all three were women) and then go to the phone lines and if 4 out of 7 people said you deserved the tix, you'd get them. The first chick got them, they hung up on the second one saying the callers would tear her apart (the first words out of her mouth were "well, I'm not a very big U2 fan.") and the 3rd one was all "I'm their biggest fan ever," but she couldn't come up w/ a single song that she liked. Then, while I was calling to bitch her out, the phone started ringing, and they said they were taking a new caller *cue me freaking out!* but they picked up on some random guy and just gave him the tix! BOOOO!!!

*off to try packing, listening to WBOS (they're giving away four pairs of tix every day this week, and all the winners are put into a lottery for a trip to Dublin to see them!!!)*

Well, do read the past few pages to get caught up, but I'll get you up to speed...

-Elphie sent me your show, and I'm totally jealous! You had one hell of a show!!!
-It's a good thing you didn't end up going to Vancouver I (they did the exact same set as Seattle II, except they did 40 instead of Vertigo2)...not that it'd be a bad thing to see that show twice, but at least it's not like it was a crazy amazing show (check out ChicagoIV!!!)
-I tried (to no avail to get into a Coldplay buzz gig in Boston a week or so ago)...twas a pisser.
-Elphie won tix to an MTV Coldplay concert and I swung to NYC to join her (we were the first people to hear X&Y and saw the band in a mini concert w/ less than 100 people).
-Elphie and I also saw The Pillowman and have now fallen head over heels for Billy Crudup.
-I'm going to see the lads tomorrow, and I have convinced myself that they may do Bad, and Ellie has warned me that it's probably less than wise to get my hopes up *sigh* she's right.


That's probably about it. I'll probably be around a bit later...I'm not really sure. I have to start seriously packing to go back to New York (just found out that my West Point job did work out...YAY FOR $$$) and I'll be shipping back out sometime this weekend.

Welcome back, Tiff. I suppose. Deported from Europe, were you? Never allowed show your face again, are you? I was wondering why the weather was so gloomy the past couple of days...now I know why.

And yay for $$$, Mabel! (Can I have some? )

My throat is closing up from phlegm and jealousy towards Mabel and Elphie. You whores. A bit o' Bono, a bit o' Chris...greedy bitches.

Define "deported", Ellie. I left voluntarily.








After Interpol found me.

*excuse the sudden intrusion on this thread*

TIFF! WHY AREN'T YOU ON AIM? clearly the cold medicine has not knocked you out, so you have NO EXCUSES!

Wow! Tiff, you were (I mean *she* was) all over him. That's a good reason not to pull people on-stage; ya never know what kind of whackos you might get.

Sorry to interrupt, but Mabel, you mean to say that tickets are released for every show on the actual day? Maybe there is some hope yet. I'm still fuming over my lack of tickets. It seems like everybody on earth is going to a U2 show, but me.

Oh, and Tiff, you might even be able to see Mabel and me on tv (hopefully not making fools of ourselves) because the Coldplay concert is airing on mtv.

Thanks! Now my hopes are back up. What were you saying earlier about pessimists never being disappointed?

Ebay is another option, I suppose - but who has that kind of money? Not me.

You're too helpful, Mabel. Thanks. (I'd do a smiley face, but I haven't quite progressed that far yet!) :)
