[the soul waits]

Greety, your pictures look great!
Wow, sounds like you had a great time, regardless of the seated tickets!
Guggi looks extreme! Good way-extreme, I mean

 

[greety]

yeah, I thought he looked better in real life than in any pic I've seen of him

We had a great time, I promise I'll mail you later

 

[hcbiggs2002]

What wonderful photos! They take me back to U2s Slane Castle concert of 2001 and their Lansdown gig of 1997, wonderful memories!! I would have loved to attended the Vertigo Dublin gigs too but the timing was all wrong!!! Roll on 31st July and their Copenhagen conert!

Does anyone know if they had a party after the first show? And where that might have been?

On saturday afternoon, my hubbie and i took the city tour bus, we passed by the Clarence and there were quite a few ppl outside, so we got off the bus and walked over.
We waited for about an hour untill finally on of the drivers told us there was nobody inside (he swore it; hand over chest)
The only ppl still there and driven off were crew; I believed him as it was already nearly 4pm, so I guess the were already at the venue
Too bad!

Yeah. My friend and I were walking around Dublin at that time too. I'd already been there before so I was taking my friend to The Clarence just so she could see. As we got closer we noticed the crowd. So we hung around for a while on the opposite side of the road, just wondering what was going on. I think we waited for about 20 minutes before we decided to just leave. It had gone 4pm and we suspected the band would have been at the stadium by then to soundcheck etc.

Guggi is married? w/kids?

wow,Lucy, do you have any other pics from that??

i can see myself
there's a girl on the street carrying a brown paper bag, well I stand in front of her (off the street) , dark hair and black coat. my hubbie wears the red coat but you can't see much of him.

As a matter of fact, guggi has been married twice.
He has a son from his first marriage and 4 sons with this lady. i forgot her name, she's an artist as well (with german roots)

all boys have blond long (very long ) hair, just like their dad.

 

[Bona Vox]

@ greety
Bono came to the Clarence at about 1am after the 2nd Gig. Edge arrived about an hour later!

S.o. told me, that Bono left the hotel at 12.45 the next morning... - must have been a great party *lol*
Jordan and Eve were also at the party- they had to leave quite early... And I saw Gavin (and Norman) as well.

OMG! That's me in the front row looking at Bono like eejit!

flavia, we were standing close to you, did you see our sign with our photo of bono and us?
we didn't know there were other pleba girls so close to us, otherwise we would have waved.....

thanks BV.
So the driver wasn't exactly telling the truth when he said Bono slept in his own bed when he's in his own town.

Unless of course you take it literally that all beds in the Clarence are his own

I see you!

I'm afraid that's the only picture I took.

 

[greety]

Thanks anyway Lucy!!

Can I post a few Dublin pics, evenif they are not concert related??

Guess so

I thought they were quite funny, we found them on a bar/resto window.

 

[Niamh_Saoirse]

What bar was that? I didn't see it? Was it in town?

 

[greety]

yeah it was on a street off O'Connol str, where the busses from the north (airport Santry) stopped.
I don't exactly what street it was

 

[Niamh_Saoirse]

I'll ahve a look next time I'm in town. They might still have it.

Thanks!

I've finally returned from an amazing week long trip to Dublin/Cardiff...they need to invent a new word for how knackered I am but I had an incredible time.

Hanging out with the ever-so-slighty mad Flavia, Digsy, Bammo, Popmartijn, the GTA-ers, Michelle from Boston and numerous others made the whole trip that much more special. Oh, and the U2 shows were pretty special too!

I've uploaded a few pictures to my photobucket account which can be viewed by logging in with the username u2fan12000 and password u2guest. The pictures do include the much sought after Digsy & Bammo sign picture

Flav...forget Toronto for now...focus on Amsterdam first, final show...come on "you know you want to"

we saw this! On the way to Croke last Friday we were completely lost and just trying to follow the crowd, who also appeared to be lost. We walked by a place that was blasting U2 and these were on the windows. I noticed right away that Edge's guitar is backwards!

 

[arw]

Here are a few of mine. Nothing too exciting though.

Night 1:

Night 2:

Paul McGuinness!

I still can't believe it's all over No more U2 for me for 3 months!
