Trying to track down the Popmart Lemon

[Galeongirl]

I just got the latest Q mag, and it claims the PopMart Lemon lies dismantled in a dutch warehouse...

Does anybody know where and what warehouse that is??

 

[pepokiss]

in my backyard

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I imagine it's some sort of warehouse like at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark...

Why, are you interested in buying it?

Seriously why

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

if i had indisposable income, i certainly would by the old popmart lemon and put it in my backyard next to the grill. then i'd put a keg-o-rator inside the lemon.

that would rock.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

^

What about the giant olive on the toothpick? That would look pretty sweet on the front lawn...

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i could put the lemon on the front lawn during christmas... dress it up with tinsel and shit... and then have it open when kids come by and santa comes out with his reindeer.

the possabilities are endless.

I want to wear mirrorball pants and get inside of it and then get stuck in it.

I heard parts of the Popmart arch were used to make the Elevation and Vertigo stages

I think it was the Lovetown tour stage that was reused for Elevation and Vertigo. All three have the same grate ramps on their sides.

edge joked in a interview a while back that they were trying to sell it

 

[bonocomet]

Gg you crack me up... good luck!

Let me know if you find it.




And I do believe the Pop arches were used to create the heart shaped Elevation elipse.

 

[pepokiss]

I have it as a center piece, you know, for the salad

 

[Alisaura]

Wow, do they keep all their old stage sets in warehouses somwhere for decades?

^ Yup, according to Willie. Originally it was gonna be a heart shaped stage and Adam suggested taking the middle part out to make that "pit."

Where are you holding the meal, a football stadium?

I think you are getting a bit confused. Bono moulded a MODEL of the Popmart arches into a heart shape when they were planning the stage design of Elevation. AFAIK, the actual arches weren't used in the stage, just the MODEL arches were used in the MODEL of the stage

Haha ya I could well seeing that being the case Gotta love that lost shot of Raiders, one of the best moments in film history IMO. Spielberg = genius

Actually, I think the popmart arch was made into the heart-shape part of the stage because it said that in the U2 Live book.

That's always been my dream

 

[MrPryck2U]

It's in my basement and Larry's still stuck inside.

Keep him in there until the new album is finished.

Remember, drummers like food too.

 

[Alisaura]

Throw some PLEBAns in with him and he'll pay you a lot of money to get out

 

[Utoo]

they've broken it into pieces and are selling them on ebay. kind of like the Berlin Wall.

 

[IanIinTheSky]

It will be squeezed and used as the world's largest glass of lemonade on the next tour.

Eno's idea.

It'd actually be pretty cool to have a piece of the lemon
