I love the tractor

That stuff being said, today I feel really good about the trip and the concert. It's going to be great.
Now. Just need to hang onto that feeling and not let myself descend into the pits of panic again.
No panic! Just pure enjoyment... Although, the "The Pits of Panic" sounds like the makings of a great book. Or a diary entry about forgetting to apply deodorant in GA. 
I love the tractor
It's comforting! Reminds me of long summer days when I'd watch my grandfather cut hay in his field.

Just been looking at the map and nobody seems to have mentioned (or forgotten!) 'Springhill Mining Disaster'. I wonder if that may get an airing in the acoustic spot?
I was thinking about that. Springhill is only about an hour away from Moncton I think. Even a little snippet or mention would be awesome.

I think we are keeping our GA and seats. We may do GA for Arcade Fire and then seats for U2.
So much to do before we leave!

They put up a link on the Magnetic Hill site to a more detailed map. I don't think the Beer Garden is big enough

Still excited, no panic in site.

Thanks for posting that BTW.
Which way is north on the PDF map?

Also, I expect that many, many people will spend most of the show in the beer tent, which means more room on the field for the rest of us.

Looks like GA will enter in from Adam's side.....has that happened before?

I'm 99% sure the stage faces pretty much straight North. One more day of work!!!!

Springhill Mining Disaster would be perfect, we spoke about earlier.
I doubt it will happen. If I were a betting man I would say a Carney collaboration.
They need to practice these things.

I just checked again.
Looks like Hwy 2 runs exactly East/West by the site. So, it looks like the stage faces NNW. Just curious really, the direction doesn't change the distance we'll need to walk.

They're actually having a big party in Springhill the day after the Moncton show and they've invited Bono and the boys to pay a visit...
Here's the news clip:
U2 invited to Springhill, Nova Scotia - YouTube
Town of Springhill plans U2 day, invites Irish band - CTV News
Don't know what the chances are they'll show up but you never know!

That's where I'll be the whole time! I want to get so wasted that I'll forget the whole show.
Now just imagine the Moncton show full of 80 000 or so of people like the "anything's possible" guy at the end of that video.

So guess what?? It ends up, that I will NOT be going to this concert AFTER all!!! I can't find anyone to watch my kids for the day on Saturday, because I have no one that I can rely on in my life. (I'm not bitter or anything)
So anyway, I now have (2) GA tickets to try and get rid of. I paid $65.00 each for them. I will pay the shipping to overnight them to whoever will pay that much for them. I can also meet you somewhere in Southern Massachusetts or Rhode Island if anyone knows someone from that area who is looking for tickets.
Anyone who is interested, please PM me.....
I'm going to go and be depressed now.......

The world is divided between beer tent folks and the rest of us.
Is it possible to get away with filling Gatorade bottles with a nice oaked chardonnay?
SO awesome. I'm thinking there's a reasonable chance of snippetry; it's an absolutely haunting song -- and one Bono seems pretty passionate about:Rare U2 Springhill Mining Disaster Live From Dublin - YouTube
That truly sucks! It's too bad nobody is willing to step up for you. I know it's little consolation, but perhaps this show will be recorded for future release, or even broadcast live on the radio/U2.COM.

The worst part is, I do the BEST I can to bend over backwards for the friends, family, and acquaintances in my life, and the ONE time I want to do something fun for myself, its crickets around here......I have a hard time w/ the injustice of it all.
Sorry for ranting.....

Shucks I was looking for a ticket earlier this weekend but found one from a friend of a friend. Really sucks you can't find a babysitter. Those sort of things be so frustrating.
