Was at the tip for the first show - and on the front rail for the second. Fecking cold camping out all night but worth it!

Thats so cool! Didn't camp for the first show - saw you talking to Jaan though
smile.gif


Though had an amusing time camping for the second show (also freezing - with the drunks running round and actually setting fire to things
eek.gif
) Met Ruth there and she told us about Bono & Khelia - and showed us the 'elevated' pics.

Are you going to try and catch the European leg next summer?

Hey Bono man!

Earlier I asked how you were back in the States.... well, I was just reading through this post here and discovered that you are not from the States but rather from Australia instead! A big OOOPS!
biggrin.gif
lol!

so Im asking now hows it hanging over in australia?

Im keeping well thanks but still praying that U2 would go over to the land of Oz (y'all deserve it) and back to Europe if possible...... I heard rumours that U2 may play Hyde Park here in London next summer.....

Hey btw was your trip to Ireland your first? If so what was your impression of the place? I still love going to Dublin, but now I hope to have more time to visit Galway and Cork next time.....to sample some more real good old Guinness I suppose!
biggrin.gif

Hey Dougal...Ireland was amazing, I almost moved there actually but realised it was for the wrong reasons. Plus, I needed to get bakc home and keep a closer eye on Zooropamanda...she will ruin our chances of seeing the band if im not here to keep watch over proceedings
wink.gif


I did see that US mistake before but I chose it ignore such an insult
wink.gif
hehe...

i know, very surprising that bono went on with the show... but i think he's said that touring has helped him deal with his dad's death. regardless, it was a fantastic show.

when you say he "did the hand thing" to you at London 3, do you mean he bit it?? LOL! it's so cool when he does that... he's an interesting character, that's for sure! very cool experience, i must say! where were you standing? khelia, ruth and i were towards the front of the heart that night.

wow, working at the clarence would be awesome. a friend of ours was staying there for slane, so we got to hang out in the lounge and see her room. it's a very nice place! we went to the kitchen our last night in dublin, and got very very drunk and danced like fools. it was a blast!
smile.gif


i definitely hope to run into you next summer- let's keep our fingers croseed that these europe rumors are true!!

smile.gif

I hope they're true as I have total withdrawl! At London 3 I was at the tip - when he bit my hand I was speechless for the first time in my life!
smile.gif


Got pretty trashed at the Kitchen too but despite walking past it as much as possible didn't get to the Clarence - must be so cool to stay there, especially as they had the aftershow thing there. Did your friend manage to sneak into it?

Anyway - see you next summer.... I hope!

As was I...though you're description of those sitting around me was quite accurate. At times I was the only one standing.

Desert Rose, Angel and myself were in The Clarence the night of the aftershow party for Slane 2. We had a drink and decided to wait outside for the guys...this is where Angel verbally assaulted me

Yo AM!

Im fine thanks.....

Yeah never got to meet you in Slane....
frown.gif
but I read that you went to Turks Head the night before the gig. I went to The Palace Bar where I met Bono_man, Desert Rose amongst others. It was great!

Still, there's always the chance that I would come over to Iceland or for you to visit one of the best cities in the world, London to finally meet up with each other! Maybe share a pint or two if that happens? *wink wink*
biggrin.gif


Hmmm, do you believe that U2 will come back to Europe next year? I, for one, hope so cos Id love to see them again somewhere in Europe outside the UK. I have seen them in UK/Ireland enough times now (only have seen U2 live outside UK/Ireland once in Dortmund on ZooTV tour). I will also pray that U2 would finally come and play in Iceland! That'd be SO SO cool if that happens!

Anyway hope we'll hear more about it before end of this year or early spring.

See ya around, AM!

Hehe, yeay, Slaaaaaaaaaaane!

I think I was around the purple/navy dot, basically just outside the barrier of the 2nd pit, squashed, beside the big load of puke, between the reaally pissed BO guy and the not so pissed british woman, standing on 2 of my friends. Great wasn't it?
biggrin.gif


And Bono-man, did you actually get hit by anything? Cause there was alot of angry people around me throwing many nasty little objects at you people smirking out at us!
tongue.gif
 
Very near the red zone. First row outside the heart less than a metre away from Bono for over half the concert
smile.gif
I've got the bootleg CD but does anyone know where I can get the video.
