The Octagon Bar: Not to Be Confused with That Other Octagon Bar

[ewen]

NYC will be most likely.

 

[lauren430]

true....

 

[U2democrat]

i'll be in DC for sure.

 

[lauren430]

I saw them in NYC right after 9/11 and it was awesome even though I was far away! yay NY

 

[U2democrat]

lucky. i saw them in lexington kentucky.

 

[lauren430]

The only thing for sure for me is Atlanta; don't know if I can afford much else in the states...I'm really hoping to see them in Australia or Japan though!!!!!!! I'm probably going to be in Australia Nov-Dec. and then will head to Japan in January; so assuming they keep that leg, that would work! Assuming I have money!

 

[U2democrat]

money is a big issue.

 

[lauren430]

Well, they are awesome no matter where it is.

I saw them in South Bend, Indiana and NY and both were amazing for the obvious reasons, but different in several ways.

 

[lauren430]

money, it can get in the way of everything fun

 

[U2democrat]

money money money

 

[U2democrat]

i just hope they come near me on a weekend. otherwise school f***s me up too.

 

[lauren430]

well you can't NOT go b/c of school....you could figure something out!!

 

[U2democrat]

now during the 2nd american leg i'd go if it were on a school night cause i'll be in college, but if they come during the 1st leg on a school night then i'm screwed.

 

[pax]

NYC or Philly, for me.

 

[starsgoblue]

What are we talking bout folks?

 

[lauren430]

can't you just go home and sleep right away? they don't get out that late....

 

[U2democrat]

U2 tour stuff.

 

[U2democrat]

i'll have to play it by ear.

 

[starsgoblue]

You guys scared me. I thought I missed an announcement or something...I didn't, right?

 

[lauren430]

?

 

[ewen]

i'm lost.....u2dem, do you go to night school or something?

 

[lauren430]

Hey Rebekah! No, we're just lamenting money and talking about the shows! no announcement

 

[U2democrat]

no i'm in high school. starting in august i'll be a freshie in college.

 

[lauren430]

yeah I'm confused too as to why you couldn't go on a school night...you might be tired the next day but that is all?

 

[ewen]

no i'm in high school. starting in august i'll be a freshie in college.

so how on Earth does that affect you going to a U2 show? i don't see the logic.

 

[U2democrat]

i doubt seriously they'll be coming here to richmond, they'd most likely go to DC which is 2 hours away. i would either be getting back early in the morning or having to stay over night thus missing some school which my parents would never let me do for a U2 concert.

 

[U2democrat]

which is why i want it to be either on the weekend or on the next american leg.

 

[lauren430]

awww...well you have to convince them it's worth it! They tour only every few years and you might not have that many chances to see them again!

 

[U2democrat]

i know! it's very frustrating.

 

[ewen]

well, each to their own i suppose. number of times i bunked off school to go to gigs hundreds of miles away when i was a teen and still got great grades to get me to a good uni. different strokes etc
