[U2fan05]

it's a long shot, but if they add a second show, i'm in

 

[Thora]

Looking forward to it! This date works SO much better for me!

 

[konakitty]

So, glad it's a Saturday. I hope the weather will be ok that early in June

tried to do that and they wouldn't give me a rate for those dates. were you able to get rates?

 

[DRay9911]

not yet. but that's where i'll be staying.

 

[vjacqb]

I like your optimism... I can't pay $200+ a night...

 

[daygloeyes2]

OK, it's in my signature. I'm in.

Now to fly in the 1st or the 2nd?

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Okay, now I'm going to need some help to secure tickets for this. Please pm me if you have spares or such.

 

[corianderstem]

Yeah, wow. June 4th, huh?

Bring your rain gear! And possibly mittens.

 

[vjacqb]

can't decide whether I want to get a seat or stick with GA. Rainy season will make it miserable for GA... I'd love to relax and put up my feet and enjoy the city

 

[daygloeyes2]

This might be my hang out by the soundboard and enjoy the claw from a distance show. Not sure yet.

I'm so excited! First show of 2011 and first Seattle show!

 

[corianderstem]

I had decided earlier that I would line up and be close for Seattle, in case it were my last time seeing them in GA.

Now I think I'll wait to see what the weather will be like before making that call.

 

[romi]

this is my BIRTHDAY SHOW, people. Make it grand!

 

[corianderstem]

I'll bring you a balloon, but you'll have to hang on to it for the whole show.

[konakitty]

Totally bummed that I was told I may not be able to get the time off for this show. But, I'll do whatever it takes to make it and meet up with everyone. Even if I have to leave Friday night and come home Sunday morning. I Seattle

 

[Mr. BAW]

tried to do that and they wouldn't give me a rate for those dates. were you able to get rates?

The "sales" rep told me that since I and others had a reserved room for the first schedule that we would have priority reservation over those who are reserving for the first time (this time)...she took my name, confirmed my prior reservation and put me on the list as "in".....their June '11 schedule isn't up and that's how they plan on keep it fair to we who were there first...

 

[vjacqb]

Haha, kidding... well, like I said, I probably won't be staying there anyway. Grand Hyatt is my reliable hotel. I won't be lining up for this show. Like cori mentioned, June weather is unpredictable. If it rains, I will be miserable in the line. And if it's sunny, well, I've learned to appreciate (and take advantage) of sunny Seattle days! Coffee at Pike Place Market, and then bungee jumping from the monorail!!

this is my BIRTHDAY SHOW, people. Make it grand!

It's my birthday also! It's going to be a great weekend!

I was able to book the Silver Cloud again, although it's now $20 more expensive and they now have a 30 day cancellation policy. They also wanted a minimum 3 day stay, but they agreed to just book it for the 2 nights.

 

[vjacqb]

^That is insane! 30-day cancellation policy? We're not all Paul the Octopus, y'know...

 

[ramblin rose]

Well, the interesting thing is that when I received the email confirmation it says the same 24 hour cancellation policy, so I'm not sure why the guy on the phone said 30 days.

Rose- How were you able to book the Silver Cloud? I tried making a reservation on their website, but it said that no rooms are available for that weekend.

Go back and read it again; if its like mine it says, "They will charge two nights stay on your credit card 30 days in advance..." so that will be the first of May!

 

[daygloeyes2]

Anyone going to a gathering in Seattle will get to meet my momma. I'm taking her with me and we'll be going to her first U2 show in Seattle. Be nice.

 

[corianderstem]

Dude, no way. SHE'S GOING DOWN!
