Got a U2 'shrine'? Let it shine! Part II

[Purplereign]

. . . oh to be allowed to display all my stuff like that

 

[lauramullen]

^Hey Laura, where do you get ur posters? Any web site u can direct me to...or is Ebay my best bet?

Some of them are tour posters and the rest I have gotten at a poster store in Philly on South Street or online poster stores. A few have come from Ebay.

 

[lauramullen]

I have the poster on the top right signed by Bono, Edge and Adam. I got it signed during Letterman week.

I love that poster, it was a lovely gift from a very cool Interferencer.

I got it when I bought the vinyl of NLOTH at midnight at the Virgin Megastore in Times Square. They gave it to me at checkout. I brought it back to NYC that Thursday and got everyone but Larry to sign it. It got ripped a little, but I still framed it. I'll get it fixed when I get the money.

I didn't go to the midnight sale but a friend did and picked up a poster for me. I was also sent a sticker that I put in frame with the poster from another forum friend.

I have met him a few times, but he wouldn't sign that day. I wasafraid to ask because I didn't want to anger him.

You heard about the day he came out to meet a few of us outside the ACC last tour, right? What a cool and unexpected experience that was!

 

[lauramullen]

You'll meet him Solace. I know you will

Gosh....I love how us U2 fans pull for each other. I remember years ago absolutely dying to meet the band and being so jealous when looking at other people's pictures and signatures.

It would be sweet to say a few words to dear Larry. My life would be complete.

Thinking good karma thoughts.

 

[lauramullen]

That is how I used to think and then I met Edge on the last tour. I wanted to meet Bono so bad and then I entered the U2 by U2 book signing contest and was picked. I finally got to meet Bono and tell him what I wanted.

FABULOUS COLLECTIONS!!

BRAVO to all you TRUE U2 musical fans! I envy your good fortune in
collecting all those fabulous memories. Congratulations!!

An extra addition to the room!

Bono at the Toronto Film Festival in 2005

Haven't found a special place for this one yet....

 

[Notabene]

Ok..so I did a search and found in the archives there was an old thread buried about showing off I mean displaying your U2 shrine.

Seeing Edge at the Toronto Film Festival has me very giddy again and brought back memories of touring.

I used to have a ton of my U2 stuff in boxes. When I moved to my previous place I had only a few things on display. But then my collection started to grow.

Luckily, prior to moving in with my girlfriend (now wife), we agreed upon a room in the house. We call the room the music room not only because of my U2 display, but I also keep my DJ decks, bass guitar, and guitars in that room.

Anyway.....please please please....if you have a cool item or display....POST IT! Let's see your U2 gear!


BONO pic taken by me....signed by the man himself. Edge UF album signed!

Love your collection! It is awesome how you have it all displayed.

Truely amazing!!! Great thread and I love seeing all the wonderful stuff from posters, to guitars, lithos, books that everyone has collected.

Must find a way (to talk hubby into it) and a space here at home to be able to do what all of you had done.

I would have expected it to be welded to your front door by now...

If it was at my front door....someone would take it! I'm sure of it.....

That's why you weld it, silly!

[U2BROTHR]

This is just AWESOME!!! VERY cool !!!

Thank you. Actually....you should thank my wife for putting up with me and all of this "U2 nonsense" in the first place.

Still looking for ATYCLB on vinyl. Also coming in the mail....the War Tour Program (not the fold out poster one...)

 

[gvox]

You caved in, I see.

 

[Bonochick]

That Bono autograph is great!

 

[U2BROTHR]

The newest addition to the shrine...the hard to get U2 War - Tour Book!

 

[U2BROTHR]

Some more stuff added to my collection given to my by a parent of a student I used to teach who used to work with the light crew during Joshua Tree, Zoo TV, and Zooropa Tours.

Itinerary Book

Actual crew phone book
For Bono, Larry, Edge, and Adam it just has Principle Management's address and phone number.

Luggage Tag

And an obscure and empty bottle of Zooropa whiskey. You can clearly see the U2 logo on the side.

^DUDE, you are my hero

Awesome collection
After I spend all my money on this tour, I'm going to start saving yet again so I can expand my very, very humble and lowly collection
