The Temple Bar - Doozer is in control

[UberBeaver]

Philly is just not my cup of tea, at all....not a fun place, to me.

Oh you Mad Cause Philly's Stylin' On Ya.

 

[No spoken words]

The funny thing is, a lot of my friends and I hang out at this bar in LA called "Philly West"....so maybe I have more love for Philly than I thought.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

That's true I could then cross Philly off my states list

I need to learn about martinis Come visit April and we'll teach you Blackjack or err Carlos will

I'm off to the pharmacy my last insurance enabled visit

Oooh, we'll have martinis Friday night. Or Sunday morning with brunch. Whatevs.

Did my workout, feel good, want another drink, still have that bottle of Bailey's...

And Philly's not a bad city at all. I ate in a Chinese restaurant and saw a little known Irish band there a couple years ago.

Maybe I'll price out flights tonight.

 

[No spoken words]

Philly sucks.

Chinese food redeems any city.

State of the Union. Now.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I totally forgot that was tonight.

Cool to see Pelosi behind that dude who thinks he's president.

 

[No spoken words]

I usually like to read the transcript, because all the applause drives me crazy, but tonight I decided to watch. He's said "Nuke-u-lar" twice in the past 2 minutes.

He knows about Dafur!?!?!?

 

[No spoken words]

Dikembe Mutombo just got a standing O. If he's on your fantasy basketball team, you are not applauding him.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I usually like to read the transcript, because all the applause drives me crazy, but tonight I decided to watch. He's said "Nuke-u-lar" twice in the past 2 minutes.

He knows about Dafur!?!?!?

I was amazed. He must be reading the papers now. Nice that he's finally doing that after oh, six years in office.

It's like trying to watching Oprah, this thing, with the applause. Absofuckinglutely impossible.

 

[No spoken words]

The applause kills it, agreed, but I've endured it this long, so, I'm gonna see it through.

 

[UberBeaver]

I watched Heroes. I missed it yesterday. W has said nothing worth listening to ever, I had no faith we would have started tonight.

 

[No spoken words]

I agree, he rarely says anything I want to really hear, but, I still pay attention....and with a new Democratic Congress, was interested to see what sort of tone he'd adopt. Also, got to hear "Madame Speaker", which was nice. I have Heroes on Tivo.

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

State of Chaos more like it.

6 hour layovers suck...trust me I know I was stuck in an airport in Germany last year for 6 or 7 with my family

 

[No spoken words]

I had a 5 hour layover in the Netherlands, when I flew from Vienna back to LA...had another 3 hour layover in Memphis. That was a looooooong fucking day.

 

[redkat]

nsw could you give my brother a call

 

[Lila64]

I forgot the SOTU was on. Was watching my Tivo'd shows: the 2nd half of 'One Life To Live' (guilty pleasure) and Oprah from yesterday 'Get Out Of Debt'. Interesting. Of course these couples combined make a ton of money. I don't even make what one half of the couple make

redkat - can you text your brother? That layover would be killa.

Chinese food May have to hit Paul's Kitchen downtown on Sunday, thanks to NSW

 

[No spoken words]

nsw could you give my brother a call

I'll pretty much call anyone.

SOYU looks a little like STFU. Sort of. In my head it does.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I had a two hour layover in Vegas a couple years ago, when I was going to SJ for U2, actually. Wasn't too terrible.

I can imagine how layovers of four - 6 hours can be hell, though. I am not a fan of waiting.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I'll pretty much call anyone.

SOYU looks a little like STFU. Sort of. In my head it does.

Anyone?

I don't need you to do that right now, but good to know...

 

[redkat]

The Vegas airport is... interesting

I wonder if anyone wins on those slots

 

[No spoken words]

Anyone?

I don't need you to do that right now, but good to know...

Anyone, doubly so if it's for a friend. I love it.

I like how I am finding out which interlanders were at U2 shows I was at. I met one in Chicago, but a lot more of you were there on 9/20, I believe. Now, LMPA mentions San Jose...I was there for that one. I was at a lot of 'em.

McCarron is a very interesting airport....on a Friday night, the place is bursting with energy and hope....but go there on Sunday morning, and you are amongst the broke, the hung over, the embarassed, etc...awesome.

 

[UberBeaver]

2 and a 1/2 Men is an awful show.

 

[No spoken words]

2 and a 1/2 Men is an awful show.

You went ahead and watched that show?

Oh, Beav, what were you thinking?????

Read a fucking book next time.

 

[RavenBlue]

Greetings and salutations fellow interferencers

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Oh yeah, I saw some interesting characters at that airport, Kat.

I was at 9/20, NSW. Sicy and I were in the front row at the first SJ show.

I don't think I ever screamed as hard in my life when I saw that empty spot in front of Edge. Maybe at MSG when I scanned Abby and myself in. Or, there was one other time, but it had nothing to do with U2 whatsoever...

Random facts about April: She a) has ridiculous luck with ticketbastard and b) scanned in like a rock star during the tour (I think I was 5 for 8 shows I had GA for)

 

[RavenBlue]

Oh wow. That must've been so awesome to be right up front

 

[No spoken words]

I had GA twice. Once at Continental Airlines Arena, where I met Ruffian and gave her a ticket....and once at MSG, where my friend got us hooked up in the ellipse without having to scan. That was fucking unreal, we were right in front of Edge all night long...for a long time fan like me who had never seen the band up close, that was amazing.

San Jose, I was with a friend, we were in crappy seats. Chicago, met up with U2girlcj and we were by the sound board. 9/20 was a cool show, and I had a great time in Chicago.

ETA - I got my San Jose ticket from an interlander. My friend already had 1 ticket, I just went and sat with her 1/2 way through the show...but as I sit here and think about things....the interlander who sold me the ticket...I do not recall her name...but I fucking swear I remember her mentioning that she was meeting up with Reggie before the show, in the Hotel I stayed in. Wow, I wonder if I am recalling this correctly.

 

[UberBeaver]

You went ahead and watched that show?

Oh, Beav, what were you thinking?????

Read a fucking book next time.

I turned on the TV and that came on after the commercials ended. I watched about 3 minutes of it and came to the conclusion stated above.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Oh wow. That must've been so awesome to be right up front

After four years of not seeing them it was unfuckingbelievable.

I never had GA for U2 until Elevation and had the second row twice then, so I got spoiled and Larry gave me a present heh and never wanted seats again. Being in the front as many times as I was last tour was amazing.

 

[No spoken words]

I still prefer seats, for a few reasons, but that one time in the ellipse was sublime. Ruffian was at that show, too, I found out afterwards...she was like 10 feet from me and I never saw her.

 

[RavenBlue]

I hope I'm able to do as well when I finally get to my first U2 concert.
