Shuttlecock XXIV: Making the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs

[Dalton]

I thoroughly expect to love the show, but at this point I feel none of the excitement that I used to feel before a tour. I've looked at one or two setlists, but I haven't memorized them. I haven't listened to any of the boots.

 

[No spoken words]

You're probably better off that way. I think you'll still have a great time, or, I hope so at least.

 

[VintagePunk]

I'm not excited to see them in September

Ha.

I think I'm the only person around here that's not all excited about the shows.

 

[phanan]

I think as the show gets closer, I'll get more excited about it. In fact, I know I will.

But I do agree that they need to take more risks. Then again, at this point I'm used to them not doing that and therefore just take what I can get and be happy with it.

 

[martha]

I'd be more excited if it were a show where I could actually see them, but these stadium shows aren't getting me excited. I know, though, that once I plop my ass down in my seat and see the Claw, I will be trembling with excitement and have to pee more times than usual. Which will serve me well during the BEFP's set(s).

[VintagePunk]

these stadium shows aren't getting me excited.

I think that's a lot of my issue, too. That, and the fact that each tour, the GA lines seem to be starting earlier and earlier. And...it's just not good timing for me.

 

[daygloeyes2]

Ha.

You're not a real fan then.

 

[Lila64]

I'm with you there VP. I'm dreading the early hour we have to get to the Rose Bowl. The stadium in the middle of a residential area/golf course. And probably not getting out of the area til the following morning due to the traffic. Of course our show is on a Sunday night as well.

Guess I'm not having a good morning now, am I?

Douchebag seats (or any seats) FTW!

Douchebag seats (or any seats) FTW!

Though, my Bracelona 1 GA experience was pretty great. Longest and hottest day ever, but worth it.

I'm just not a GA kinda guy, typically.

 

[Dalton]

I'm a GA kind of guy.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I think I'm getting too old for GA...

 

[martha]

GA is fine in a small venue, a tiny one. But anything larger than 3000 people, screw it.

 

[Dalton]

I like to get in there and push woman and effeminate men.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I like to get in there and push woman and effeminate men.

You should take your kid and use her as a human shield

 

[Dalton]

Sheild? She's a magnet. She's cute in a way that normal human beings never hit.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

do you want to get to the front or not? You could say she's out of the hospital on a day pass - that'll get you up front for sure.

 

[Dalton]

Obnoxious dad time:

 

[Dalton]

Entertain me, fools!

 

[martha]

Holy crap. I'd let you in front of me if you had her with you.

oh my god. from the cuteness.

 

[Dalton]

I'm telling you!

I don't know how I'm going to love this next one as much as her.

 

[martha]

We firstborns are always the best.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

alright that kid is cute and I don't even like kids.

 

[Dalton]

alright that kid is cute and I don't even like kids.

To be fair, you don't like anyone smarter than you - regardless of age.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

it's always been a weakness of mine

 

[Dalton]

I generally like everyone until I talk to them.

 

[Dalton]

I hate 99.98% of the people who post on this site, I never go over to the EYKIW and therefore haven't heard any rumors about a new album. Has there been anymore about Songs of Ascent or whatever?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

not really, if you believe the rumors and Bono ( ) they are going to finish it up and release it at the end of the NA leg of the tour. This works with a Christmas release date but there is nothing confirmed of course...

 

[No spoken words]

Dalton, she is adorable, and glad to see her eating homegrown maize.
