Love the new sig martha

I'm tired. I need a nap but I have too much crap to do tonight so forget that.

Have I mentioned I'm seeing It Might Get Loud tomorrow?

So the little girl just climbed onto my pregnant wife's back and said, "look dadda, I'm riding and elephant."

I didn't even crack a smile.

Husband of the Year.

Gee, I don't know ...

We might just be too uncool and unfunny to post in this thread.

 

[martha]

Did anyone else get a database error a few minutes ago? I was skeered.


And dreadfully uncool, of course.

 

[martha]

Something is haunting Interference. This was a DOUBLE POST!!!!!

 

[Diemen]

Just think of the courage it must've taken, clicking on a link with a different title than the link you usually click on a U2 fan forum, and then... posting there!

That's no easy task, considering the MASSIVE social ramifications if things went awry. MASSIVE.

I'm a little in awe right now, actually.

god, would you at least try to get their name right?

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Did I miss something big happening? Has the world turned on its axis, has there been world peace or mass destruction, etc?


Wait, everything is going on as normal? Whew, I was worried there for a minute... You know, people posting in previously uncharted territory and all.

 

[martha]

And uncool territory to boot.

Just think. Posting in a chat thread.

the rest of it was complete shit.

Spoiler

what fucking album do they think they're touring, anyway?

 

[corianderstem]

That's my relatively cranky opinion right now as well.

I'm pissed they've

Spoiler

apparently given up on Unknown Caller.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

all i can add is i think tonight's setlist is a joke. i don't like the latest trend they've adopted.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Agreed. What's up with that line of thinking?

 

[martha]

So is Vegas going to suck then?

And, no, I didn't look.

 

[corianderstem]

Aw no, martha. It's still going to be great.

We're talking one thing they appear to have done, which makes me cranky, but if I remember your opinion about a particular song correctly, you might not mind so much.

yes. this is the first time since the acoustic encore on vertigo that i've been quite happy to not be at a show. sure, i'd have enjoyed the parts i like a lot, but a big one of those is gone and there are more parts that i cannot abide now.

Spoiler

at least we got to see it in chicago. you have to question their judgement, it was one of the best live songs, it went across really well, the audience got into it...i just don't see how of all songs, they'd drop unknown caller.

all i can add is i think tonight's setlist is a joke. i don't like the latest trend they've adopted.

it's bad enough they cancelled raleigh on popmart. to then turn around and give them that setlist...it's a bit bloody mean!

Agreed. What's up with that line of thinking?

somebody must have had a lobotomy.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I love not so subtle hints when you're trying to not spoil something for someone. I had someone try the same thing in Chicago. It was appreciated and I'm not being sarcastic).

 

[corianderstem]

I feel very happy to have gone to 6 Vertigo shows and not gotten the acoustic encore at any of them!

I was happy to hear Stay in Chicago, don't get me wrong, but in general, I don't think the little acoustic bits work well with a stadium show. At least they just do two songs in that style.

 

[martha]

I you guys. I mean that.


I think I'll go to bed and read now. I'm still getting over my cold, and Steve's out of town, which means I get the whole bed to myself.

Until the kitty shows up at least.

 

[corianderstem]

'Night, martha!

I emailed the hotel in Chicago and asked for specifics about the pillows they have in the rooms - I must have some of my very own. I hate my pillows.

two vertigo shows and i think i only heard one acoustic song.

oh, stay was one of my personal highlights! i don't mind the odd acoustic song, but usually the songs they pick to play acoustically correspond to some of their songs i like the least, which was the case on vertigo!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Kittys that hog the bed My kitty is six pounds and still manages to find a spot right next to me where I can't move.

I was disappointed I missed Stay the second night in Chicago. U2 could play that song accoustic in a backyard alley and I'd love every second of it. I adore that song to pieces.

This sounds like something that belongs in EYKIW, and I do hope you were being sarcastic. Mean how, exactly? Perhaps for us, but I'm sure the majority of people in that stadium that are casual U2 fans thought it was an absolutely fantastic show. Especially since most of them had no idea what would be played tonight.

 

[corianderstem]

My kitty barely even sleeps on the bed when I'm there. Sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of the night and she'll be there, but as soon as I roll over to pet her, she runs away.
