The Octagon Bar: Don't Say We Didn't Warn You

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

What'd you do? I did weights for upper and lower body today.

I did my cardio.

I need to dig my weights out... my strength training is with a resistance band, but I should do weights, too.

 

[~BrightestStar~]

Awww - it sux when that happens.

I'm sure you can take him out

Free weights are good for you!

I'm scared of those bands....always freaked I'm gonna snap myself in the eye or something.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I was afraid when I started using them too, lol. They're pretty good, the only problem I have is at the end of the workout when you gotta straighten them out again.

 

[starsgoblue]

Ooh, you have your Siiiing avatar up.

*puts on "loser" by beck*

Hey I was listening to beck ~ totally out of time with you.

Hearing Sometimes... before hearing the announcement of the Monday fall announcement made me get all U2 misty eyed.

 

[starsgoblue]

Monday fall announcement what?!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Giiiirl, get yo butt to the tour forum! They're announcing fall dates like Monday. I hear Detroit is getting 2 shows, which I'll believe only when I'm in the front row for both of them.

 

[starsgoblue]

No, they can't! Well they can announce but they can't go on sale yet!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I know. I racked up a ton on my credit card thanks to the 2 shows I'm going to (airfare's a bitch!) and I thought I'd have at least a few months to pay it off.

I already told my mom she's going with me to at least one show, to see what the fuss is all about.

 

[~BrightestStar~]

*this* is what I've been askin about all day!!!
I think I'll cry if they go on sale soon...announce fine..sell NO!



(sorry to sound bitchy )

 

[starsgoblue]

They CAN'T go on sale so soon!

It would be totally ridiculous if I couldn't go see them in my own hometown....the thought of sitting at home and knowing they're less than 10 minutes away from me....I'd rather fall on a sword

 

[~BrightestStar~]

They can't....not yet! Please!

This is what worries me, not securing tickets to shows in my own neck of the woods! I know I'm hitting Detroit, Cleveland, and possible Chicago (if they don't have 20 shows sell out like last time ). Typically, markets like this aren't huge, so it's good in a way, but you never know with these scalpers.

 

[starsgoblue]

(rips hair out)


Ack, well I was going to sleep this weekend....

 

[~BrightestStar~]

Why would they sell tix so many months in advance????

 

[starsgoblue]

To make me lose the last remaining bit of sanity I have...I hope that doesn't happen...

 

[~BrightestStar~]

*sigh*
me too

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Gah, I hate this part of being a fan....


(I wasn't supposed to be saying that until a few months down the line...)

 

[starsgoblue]

Me right now--->

 

[ewen]

i really can't say my heart bleeds for you. look at poor tania down there in Australia, a fan for twenty-so years and has to travel across a country the size of Europe to get to her nearest gig. or the many fans in southern american countries with no shows whatsoever.


anyway

 

[starsgoblue]

Yeah, I wasn't diminishing Tania's or any South American's legit complaints in saying anything I said. And neither was April or Jackie. Just because they have their own U2 related 'problems'...doesn't mean anyone else can't. I don't think we were asking for anybody's sympathy either.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

 

[ewen]

you're going to 3 shows already rebekah, more than a lot of people.....where's the 'problem' ?

 

[starsgoblue]

You misread my sentence.....I said they meaning Aussie and SAers....not myself.

 

[ewen]

*rereads*

i haven't misread your sentence at all or any of your other sentences....it's there in black and white (or two tones of blue). but anyway, i'm not getting into an argument. just bugs me when i know there are other people, that have been following this band their whole lives, that would give anything to see them once on this tour never mind 4 times.

 

[~BrightestStar~]

Ok, I haven't been following them my whole life or anything, but I would give quite a bit to see them.

 

[starsgoblue]

I never said I had a 'problem'....you are misreading me.

I saw them only once last tour...I know the feeling. I am very fortunate this year to be seeing them multiple times as are you.
