You did a great job!!!

Oh, Laura! You are such an inspiration to tall girls everywhere! Yaaaaaayyyy!

I'm so happy for you. Tim had said his friend Laura got pulled up and in all honesty, I couldn't place who it was...

It wasn't until I saw a picture of you (it was taken from far away, with all of you on the main stage) and I thought, "OMYGAWD! That's *LAURA*!!!)

Uh, yeah. It takes me awhile.

I think you'll make the DVD. I can't imagine why it won't be on there.

What an experience! Soooooo happy for you! Yay! The next time you're in town, I'll have a hug waiting.

Love,

Moonie

Does anyone have video of Laura's 2nd performance? I only saw the first night (and a pic of night 2).

kakvox · 05-14-2005, 06:40 PM

Great composure through the 2 shows. If I was up there I would have been freakin' out, so nervous, etc. Great job. You made the Chicago shows so much more special!

the soul waits · 05-14-2005, 06:47 PM

I only saw a video of your first performance and was struck by how COOL you were up there, wow! You appeared so very relaxed and it was so precious to see how Bono was smiling the whole time.
I'm so happy for you that you had this amazing experience. Now I'd love to see the 2nd one as well, can anyone upload it?

corianderstem · 05-14-2005, 06:58 PM

Miroslava · 05-14-2005, 08:16 PM

Laura, I was so bummed that I missed your performances as I was only there on the 7th but I was to happy to hear you had gone up!!!! Congratulations and once again, yay for Bono lovin' us tall girls!!

nurse chrissi · 05-14-2005, 08:24 PM

Laura _ was there both nights and thought you did an amazing - wonderful - the coolest thing in the world job - very proud to be a part of the u2 fan community with you up there

- great job

U2dork · 05-14-2005, 08:39 PM

This is a *great*, great story and that is a super cool pic of you in Bono's shades! I can't wait until they release the DVD...

Louis · 05-14-2005, 08:54 PM

Hey Laura,

During the Monday show, I was standing next to Tim ( to his left), and guess what? I had a camera, and you were right in front of me. You can view some of the photos here (my girlfriend's website):

home.uchicago.edu/~romy

I think I probably have about 6 or 7 high-res pics total. I tried to take some photos as you were being let back into the crowd, but it was very pushy then, so they got blurry, but I can send those to you as well. You did an aweseme job!

also, check out my other webpage:

elevation01.tripod.com (just for fun)

Enjoy!
Louis

Got Philk? · 05-14-2005, 10:22 PM

"...and next thing I know I’m being hoisted up onto the stage."

Hahaha, that's where I come in. Thank you Laura for my most memorable person hoisting experience.

Seriously though, I was right there and saw it all. Bono loved it! We all loved it in that section! Congrats and SWEEEEEEEEEET!
