So that was quite an adventure. But no!! There was more U2ness in my weekend! B/c, you see, i also went to the Museum of Television of Radio. And they let you watch any television show in their huuuuuuuge archive, and then they give you a printout w/ the shows you picked and you go down to this special room to watch them. And guess what they had?
The premiere of the Ben Stiller Show. Funniest thing ever. Of course, i watched it for the U2 sketch mock rockumentary. But only things a U2 fan would get. Things like why it would be strange to be playing bullet at a bar mitzvah. Edge playing the "chava naguiela" (i know i didn't spell that right...but it was hilarious) If you guys haven't seen it, you really should. Oh, and Ben Stiller makes a REALLY REALLY hot Bono. Even though i'm an edger. He looks so like him when he's done up right.
OH. But even better than U2 at the bar mitzvah was the parody of One. You might have seen the lyrics somewhere before....imagine all the one videos, as a big advertisement for lucky charms. Oh my gosh. So
hilarious. They did a really good job of making it look like the real video. Down to the curved scar on "bono" 's chin... And andy dick was adam. Quite amusing. Random buffalo showing up in the bar.
You all really should download the song or the video from kazaa if you haven't. Its definitely something that should be filed under Something Only Obsessive Insane U2 Fans Would Find Amusing.
But still. Ben stiller as Bono=
Too bad the edge actor wasn't as much of a resemblance!
I made sure to have them find Red Hot + Blue for me too, night and day was cool.
I went downtown to ground zero too.....it wasn't what i thought it was. Its just this big hole swarming with construction workers...its still such an emotionally charged place....especially when i saw
scratched on the memory wall, i just burst into tears....quite moving.
As i was hinting at, i was on a constant lookout for Bono and Edge over the weekend, i always made sure to have my POP booklet and a pen with me at least, even to the shows. No such luck though, but i still had an awesome time. I missed you all on friday.....sorry i couldn't say where i was. But wow! i've rambled tons! i need to do hw!
