Hello, all!
My name is Shogart, and this is officially my first post on the Interference forum. I've been a somewhat active member of the @U2 forum since its birth about half a year ago, but I thought I'd do some scouting about to see what happens in other U2 fan bases.
I'm among the younger generation of U2 fans, having been born in '86. I like to think that my journey with U2 began in utero, but that's only partially true. My parents, particularly my dad, were avid U2 fans, so I've been exposed to their music ever since my fetal ears developed, but I didn't become a fan in my own right until about 1999.
Sadly, I've only seen one show, but it was enough of an experience to have me eagerly anticipating the probable tour next year... I saw them in early October of 2001 in Hamilton, Ontario, in the wake of both 9/11 and the death of Bob Hewson. I think it goes without saying that it was an emotional show...
Anyway, I'd love it if you'd introduce yourselves to me, and I look forward to many interesting discussions here!

P.S. If there are other @U2 members here... no, this doesn't mean I'm abandoning our home forum, just dabbling...
