Some relatively insignificant info, but interesting nevertheless.

Maybe we have been a bit harsh with condemning U2's PR people for sitting on info (though certainly not too harsh in criticising their poor communication with fans). This is a bit of info I got via an Auckland hotel owner:

Until three weeks ago, U2's stage crew's bookings at his hotel were for the weekend of the 11th of November. Then, three weeks ago, they changed it to the 24th and 25th of November. So it seems some tinkering with the order happened fairly recently - the band may have originally intended to start off in Auckland as per the original itinerary.

This makes me curious as to the original schedule. I thought that tidbit of info, although unimportant to us as it doesn't change any of the reality, may nonetheless interest some of you here.

I'm not exactly sure yet. Er, My plan is to be in scotland, depends if i can get a working visa before i leave.

I'd say there's 50-50 chance i will be in Melbourne.

It does sound like they had trouble figuring out the Japan situation too.

Ah, righto. Well, let me know if you will be in Melbourne - if you are, we'll have to meet up.

This was just some of the road crew. I'm not sure where U2 themselves will actually stay, though someone on another thread said U2's people have booked out all the luxury suites at the SkyTower and the Hilton, so I figure U2 will be at one of those two.

The Sky Tower is where Rolling Stones stayed at earlier this year, too, I think.
