Annual Joshua Tree road trip in January. (Gathering) Part II

[Outsider]

Are you a Stanford alum, Jeff?

Haha!
The random things that we said throughout the ride have been coming back to me over the past few days.

I look stupid randomly smiling at work

 

[FitzChivalry]

Nope. A friend of mine went there and she bought that for me.

Ahh, cool. Well, you certainly seem smart enough to me to be Standford material, so that's why I asked.

I feel I was hindered by my 2 1/2 hours of sleep; I think I could've been a lot wittier and more energetic had I actually been able to fall asleep before 3:15 a.m.!!!!

You were at the phoenix show?? I saw zooey before and after the show. I was in the pit...mostly adam's side. seriously lol!

You are correct! I was at the PHX show. I was in the pit up in front of The Edge. I was in the same spot in VEGAS (Sorry Dev, wish you were there too) and PASADENA.

Mighty nice of you to say.

I am lucky to have made friends with some smart friends. I hope some of that has rubbed off on me.

You were good fun, witty and a joy to spend the time with. I glad that the 6 of us and the BonoComets all made the trip. And glad to finally meet up with some of the Interference folk 'in the real'.

They have been coming back to me. Someone mentioned one of the office plants looked "a bit wilted, limp, flacid". I burst out laughing. They stared at me. One girl finally said "What? What'd I say?" I just smiled, shrugged and said "thuglife". They rolled their eyes and suggested I drink DECAF the rest of the day.

 

[zuropa_fit]

flacid. The plants in your office are probably pretty funny looking.

 

[RedRocksU2]

flacid....hehehehehe (Beavis and Butthead laugh)

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

They are indeed looking a little funny, as things do in that state.

The tree seemed bigger to me last year. I know it's very old but hope it can stick around for a while.

Last year:

This year:

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

Sadly, the elements are having their way with the tree... that and 'some' people that have rudely stood on it!

 

[zuropa_fit]

I heard some people actually peed on the thing.

OM Gosh!

Those MF'ers should be banned from ever going to U2 sites (like the tree), U2 online sites, U2 shows and be made to listen to ONLY Mylie Cyrus from now on. Feckers.

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

So maybe next time we to to the JT and Zabriskie we can get Anton Corbijn to come take pictures for us? OM gosh, how cool would that be?

Okay, I know that isn't necessarily an option but tell me that you didn't think "oh, that would be nice" when you read that, right?

Good for us we have our own Antonia Corbijn (Outsider) to take some great piccies (you rock)...

...And BonoComets daughter too (She's some some serious photog skills)




PS - The Joshua Tree (tribute) is playin' at Pala Casino next week. Any of you'z guys gonna make it out? Should be good fun.

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

Let's go HERE next!!!

 

[martha]

I'd be down for that.

 

[zuropa_fit]

It's probably completely developed with tract homes by now.

 

[martha]

No, silly girl. It's still a state park.

Well, with the economy being what it is, it won't be long before the area gets sketchy.

i suppose we'd better not expect any photos, just in case.

Those damn ghosts have been known to want to borrow a cell phone once or twice.

Nah, the state govt only sold it's souls and sold one another out, so far. I think we should be good.

Thought bubble:
Thanks Arnie, can you go back to making crap action films again? Maybe "Last Action Hero 2: Return of the Disgraced Governator"

 

[FitzChivalry]

As a complete aside (and remembering the compliments I received on the guacamole), I made a kick-ass giant pot of chili for my friend's Oscar get-together yesterday, along with some yummy bacon-jalapeno cheddar cornbread muffins.




Ok, you can all go back to making fun of Arnold and that woman who thinks Old-Town Pasadena is a scary ghetto ( ).

 

[bonocomet]

omg you just made me soooo hungry.

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

Maybe we can to to Old-Town Pasadena and get some "Ghetto" Soul Food.

Hold onto your wallet, though.

Hellz no! Pictures are only for the awesome professionals like yourself. Us amateurs know nothing about presentation. It's more like Put it on the table and stand back, out of the way of the stampede!
