We hope you are all well.

We'd like to thank everybody who wrote in for the amazing response we got to
our U2 Mixed Grill.
Man, you lot want to know some weird stuff.

Ah yes - and on that topic, a special pop condolence goes out to
edges_girly, on having the WORST TIMING of anyone we know.

This, anyway, is only the first birthday treat we have in store for you.
Keep your eyes / inboxes / newsagents peeled.

I found something. hahahahahaha! all of the questions it asks are about people/bands/pop groups that are some how connected with U2. it is a tease, but it looks like something is going to be up soon. *holds breath*

 

[elizabeth]

well i finally signed up for hotpress emails and stuff.

thanks MVD...

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I sent in a couple, but they were boring. I asked about whether Bono considers himself more of a political activist or a musician at this point in time (I worded it a little less clumsily than that ) and then I asked about when they were planning to release a new studio album, and if there were any chance it will be less mainstream than ATYCLB. (My guess? No.)

*bump* I think it is really cool that your question was asked and answered! congrats!!!

 

[Jam Jar]

so are the answers out yet??

Thanks for posting the link, I had missed it... and now I have a new favorite Larry quote:

Hi! I would really love to know what the tattoo on Larry's arm stands for?
If you're close enough to see the tattoo, you're too close!

Well, they answered my first question.

Yeah, so maybe it wasn't the most exciting question in the world. (As I myself admitted originally) But I thought it was interesting, and I'm glad Hot Press chose to ask it!

Wow! That's great. They didn't choose mine, but I'm glad because it was a really dull question and I really regret sending it in.

I was disappointed I didnt see ne of my questions!
