Check out the yahoo group U2-Midwest. I know a lot of people are rooming together and maybe some people have an extra space. Just post on there and I'm sure someone will be able to hook you up.

Ok so now I think I have partialy recovered from the crazy weekend. I did find out I am alergic to Ohio. The second I crossed into Ohio I started sneezing and I didn't feel better till we left. sniff sniff. I didn't let that stop me from having fun though, it only prevented me from bellydancing saturday night.

I want to thank everyone who came out. Cleveland was a blast. Ummm hmm what else I can't get a stream of consciousness going cause there's too much to say.

Elevation definately rocked Cleveland on Friday and Saturday night. It was super cool Saturday night when Gredge brought up Captive from Exit and Squish aka Laura from U2 midwest to play guitar on Knocking on Heaven's door.

The fan gathering on Saturday was kick arse. You gotta love live band karaoke. Laura I must say our verson of Please will never be topped by anyone else.

Oh and Laura and I learned a valuable lesson in Cleveland that I would like to share with you all. Never try to operate an elevator when you haven't had enough sleep...definately not a good thing.

Ok that's all I can get out now. I'm sure I'll be postin later. I'll try and get some pics up as I hope other people will too

Adios

lmao...i had almost forgotten about that...yeah, uh...you have to push the floor you want.

and our version of please did kick ass...with the little interludes of laughter, your congestion and my super-low-voice-almost-gone voice...good times

and as scared as i was to play guitar in front of hoards of obsessive u2 fans, it was a blast. a year ago when i saw elevation for the first time, i would have never guessed i'd be playing guitar with them on that very stage 13 months later...

cleveland was awesome...can't wait for cleveland 4
