The Octagon Bar....now with official U2 tattoo parlor

[starsgoblue]

Thank you, QB.

hey folks, i dared to venture into the real world a couple of hours ago to find a parcel waiting outside. it was from the BBC! I thought "what the feck?". I won some U2 goodies in a competition. Remember that Zane Lowe show on radio one last November with the U2 gig at Hanover? I entered the online competition and won a HTDAAB mug, t-shirt and vertigo 7" and 10" singles!! what a nice surprise to open the door to....never won anything in my life!

Hello, Hello

Congratulations Ewen!

Just popped in to grab a quick B52 before the bar closed again

Went to a wedding today, got a little bit hammered and now I have to play hockey (this should be interesting....).

 

[Tania]

Okay, nobody around

Will try and catch you all later (probably in the next bar)

All this talk of tattoo's is seriously starting to change my mind.

Back soon, gotta go and run some of this alcohol outta me... (and while Dave C ain't around I can say this - play REAL hockey )

 

[U2democrat]

i'm sitting here in a freakin freezing cold trailer discussing different philosophies. gah i'm freakin cold!!!!!!!!!!

 

[A_Wanderer]

That sucks, I am sitting here and it is hot tonight.

 

[U2democrat]

i want heat. it's supposed to snow a little bit today.

 

[lauren430]

anyone around? I'm in the most boring class ever and I cannot stand the teacher

 

[U2democrat]

i'm back. there's nothing to be done on the newspaper so i have nothing to do, but that's how i like it.

 

[lauren430]

hey

 

[U2democrat]

yay we're not alone

 

[lauren430]

some people were on the edge last night in the bar

and everyone kind of dispersed.

 

[U2democrat]

my friends are talking about how we can't remember what classes we took freshman and sophomore years

 

[lauren430]

I understand; I can hardly remember what classes I took last year

 

[U2democrat]

ok there's over an inch of snow on the roads right now, we can't drive on that!!!! and they haven't cancelled school!!!!!!

 

[angel_of_L.A.]

Lol, yeah they're going to have dragons and goblins all over them and this girls going to be walking in wanting a suitcase with a heart in it.

That's so cool! Rebekah, we both want the same tattoo...great minds think alike!

Wow, I really missed all the "action" in here!

*Walks to counter, pours a cup of dark coffee with a shot of Baileys, and sits on nearby couch to read.*

<------is enjoying the silence.

** Sneaks in as to not to disturb Angel reading quietly **

Speaks quietly: It's snowing out

** Pours a cup of Java that Angel brewed and adds 2 shots of Baileys **

Hey Tim

Wow, I've never seen real snow before. It's beautiful!

I want to go to New York for spring break but it's so expensive, well the hotels are the flights are actually rather cheap.....

Hi Angel

New York is not expensive if you befriend a u2 fan who lives there

I'm not sure that I know anyone who is still living there, but I bet if you asked around Pleba you might hit it off with someone enough to get a room and a pal to explore the city with.

The snow is a mixed bag. I love it when I'm already at home. I'm at work and my car is built for speed not for traction... I have a picture of it here somewhere...

** Roots under the bar for a few minutes **

Aha!!! Here it is!!!

I think it's cool, but it's useless in snow

 

[lauren430]

nice car

 

[starsforu2]

nice car

These fast cars will do me no good

Thanks Lauren!

** Pours another cup of coffee to chase away the chill **

 

[lauren430]

I think I'll have a hot chocolate

 

[zorya]

eh i'm new here, but thought i'd come in - hope you don't mind if i join you all

i'll have a long island ice tea, please

 

[lauren430]

1 long island on the house

 

[zorya]

wee! thank you

 

[starsforu2]

wee! thank you

Welcome Zorya!

Where are you hailing from?

 

[starsforu2]

I think I'll have a hot chocolate

** Grabs a hot chocolate baggie and pours it into a mug **

Someone needs to teach me how to make it properly

** Pours hot water over it and puts a giant-sized marshmallow on top as creamer **

Here you go!

 

[lauren430]

[zorya]
