[elevated_u2_fan]

[mad1]

gawd really? was that the time at Teddy Stadium? you asked Bono if he wanted one of your signed Baseballs that you could only provide in doubles?

thats so cool!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

yeah, for some reason he didn't want to come near me... I have no idea why

 

[mad1]

Bono is thee man like. we all screamed for him. adam was in a car eating sandwiches and a packet of cigarettes.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

he ate a pack of cigarettes?! Hardcore!

 

[mad1]

while balancing a bottle of beer on his left leg.

is anyone else totally sick of hearing about "freedom" everytime our troops are mentioned? i'd buy into supporting the troops a lot more if people said "support our troops because they're putting their lives in danger" or something like that.

no disrespect to the troops or anything....i'm just so sick of the F word.

cori, just wanted to say thanks for the heads up about our u2.com codes not having been used up for Vegas. I managed to get a Seattle GA with no problem this morning with my old code!

I just saw recently the funeral of the recent five killed there, and it was so heartbreaking to watch. 18 years old/30 years old/fathers and sons, etc...

heartbreaking.....

absolutely. i just worry that a lot of these kids are getting themselves into something way over their head. leading up to the Iraq war, there was a kid i worked with that was joining the army because he thought that blowing up people would be cool.

 

[mad1]

Im sure many in their heart want to join, and dont think as childishly as that.

Ive met Paratroopers here who, even thou been in army for years, talked and sounded real up themselves when mentioning about 'beating the fukers here' - during time of our troubles.


bitter I think, they were stuck in our country.

I saw a bus this morning with a 360 ad on the side of it. It made me happy.

 

[Irvine511]

Who else is going to Denver (DIA)?

it's on my radar, but i have no plans. yet.

still holding out for a Balty show.

 

[corianderstem]

I'm still holding out for another midwest show - Minneapolis or Wisconsin, plz.

driving to chicago i saw official signs along the interstate saying it was a symbol of freedom.

my eyes rolled so hard.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Sorry that you are in need of Sudafed, Martha. I've been sick since Saturday.

Denver is so tempting for me. Maybe I'll wait til the night before and get my ticket then like I did for Las Vegas...

 

[martha]

Dooooooooooo it.

Mofo & Joyful, you guys doin' Denver?

 

[zonelistener]

Minneapolis in early July would be perfect.

I think Minneapolis is ALWAYS perfect!

I would think that the TCF bank stadium would be a great (small though) venue.

Dooooooooooo it.

Mofo & Joyful, you guys doin' Denver?

If Minneapolis/Madison/Green Bay does not happen, we will be in for Denver.

 

[martha]

Yay!

is there actually still hope that one of those cities will happen?

 

[corianderstem]

You mean the force of my very being isn't enough to make Green Bay happen?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Going from Lucille Bluth to GaGa is quite the extreme turnaround.





...or is it?

 

[corianderstem]

I am feeling the GaGa lately.

And this is completely awesome:

YouTube - South Park Poker Face

 

[u2popmofo]

I haven't watched South Park at all the last 2 years (which is odd, as I think I've seen every episode up until that point), but I highly enjoy that clip for a number of reasons.
