Joshua Tree road trip in January. (Gathering)

[zuropa_fit]

Are we all doing the Saturday night at Romano's thing too?

 

[RedRocksU2]

I'll be there.

 

[zuropa_fit]

'k. I'll probably fly in Saturday afternoon, hang with my friend, we'll join you at Romano's and then I'll have her drop me off Sunday morning at the mall. I think someone mentioned a caravan out to the JT so I'm assuming I can sneak into someone's back seat.

 

[Carek1230]

I think everyone should wear U2 garb, especially JT stuff!

 

[zuropa_fit]

If my non-U2 fanatic friend who lives in Chino comes with us, she can be in charge of taking the group pics.

Me thinks it's going to be a huge group photo!

(I just sent you a PM)

 

[Mr. BAW]

Plenty of hotel rooms at reasonable prices in Ontario...check in, get to the JT show, back to the room, yada, yada, yada, Joshua Tree.....

 

[zuropa_fit]

hotel room? no hubby? no kid? cable?

 

[BAW]

 

[RedRocksU2]

Btw, Romano's has good food there, but if you guys want to get together before for dinner and a bottle of wine at another restaurant, we should make some plans as well.

zuropa fit is coming ??

 

[BonoFox1]

No, that was a billiard hall in Ontario...Romano's is at Alessandro and Canyon Crest, Riverside, just south of UC Riverside...very easy to find.

Were you at that event also???? there were so many of us there, including Beegee, Abel, Allegra, AdamsWildHoney, ARW, Kariann, Schmeg...that was one full event!

OH yeah!!! I was there very early in the morning till the eve!!! Got a pic with BPFallon and and autograph....lots of cool pics that were on sale too

 

[BluRmGrl]

Man, one day U2's gonna' do something cool in the Southeast & then I won't have to miss all the fun stuff! *pout*



As usual, I respectfully request the posting of photographic evidence when the activities have closed.

Is anyone that is planning on going on Sunday planning on getting a hotel on Sat night? I think Rachel I will will just stay in Ontario that night. If there are enough people interested, I can check with some of the places about a group rate.

 

[zuropa_fit]

I might. But I might just stay with my friend if she's willing to drive me around.

We've already got a room booked at one of the Marriott's (across from Ontario Mills mall) but I'd listen to a group rate price....

You guys are doing it all wrong.

JT should play in Vegas the night before. There are plenty of hotels in Vegas - one for every budget - and a major airport mere minutes away from those hotels. Plus, when you drive to the tree from THIS side you get to see most of Death Valley - including Zabriske Point - where the cover of the Joshua Tree album was shot.

Silly Californians

I have this in my calendar. I am very excited for a JT show and this trip! There's a Mel's Diner across the street from the Mills. Maybe we could do breakfast there beforehand?

Now that makes some sense....

That sounds like an idea. I've been there before, great food.

 

[Carek1230]

I diners

 

[RedRocksU2]

Me too.

Sitting at the counter having breakfast, reading the newspaper, having coffee.
ahh, the simple pleasures in life.

 

[zuropa_fit]

I'm gonna have to fast before coming out there!

Just priced flights

Hey Chas, question for ya (I am using this thread, since most of us will be attending the JT performance the day before the roadtrip); have you heard the "New Year's Day (USA Remix)" version from the WAR remastered edition CD?
This version, made me love this song again.

I could totally see you guys playing it that way.
Just a thought.

 

[Mr. BAW]

He won't answer, you need his private number...


ps - he's outta town.

 

[dsmith2904]

I think we do need to start a thread soon about that concert because I seem to remember reading something about an all-request set that night
