Oct 23rd - Las Vegas - General Discussion & Gathering Thread VI - The Day Has Arrived

[Dakotalola]

Hey! In line here with Fitz nicv and redrocksu2 Carlos. About 400 in line. Well run. Only low numbers allowed up front. Heard bill Clinton will be here. Entry for ga will dump us mid field at the outer catwalk rail. No field to run. Wrist banding in line about 4pm. No slr cameras allowed. They're selling food & water up and down the line. Nicv had a canopy : yay! Sun is harsh!
Back end of ga from maybe #130 up is on a gravel lot , FYI. The Claw dominates the stadium

Apparently Carlos got interviewed and is going to be on the news.

He didn't tell me that!

Glad to hear everyone having a good time!


Wonder if Carlos will bring the canopy to LA.

 

[discothequeLP]

Well, #400 is not that bad. Considering that there were already over a hunderd names on the list by yesterday evening.

When I showed up at 9.30 AM for the first Amsterdam show, I was #400 something on one side and there were just as many on the other side as well. (2 GA lines there).

No field to run.

My left Achilles and right calf would appreciate that (I hurt them on the run in Boston...then re-injured in Tampa, but not as bad). Have fun.

 

[lauramullen]

We didn't have to run the field in DC either. We went in on the side and they let one person at a time walk down the steps.

WOW! That sounds like a relaxed entry!

 

[lauramullen]

It really was. I walked into the inner circle. That was one of the few things they didn't mess up.

Nice to meet up with the few Interferencers that I saw last night. Wish I could have stayed longer, but duty called.

I'm wearing my blue Popmart T-shirt with the big lemon on the front tonight.
WOOHOO!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!

Plus, we have a designated driver (daughters with drivers licenses )

Hi Sicy!!!!!!!
FINALLY, eh?

have fun everyone

side bets are on U2 playing the Norman set.

 

[Dakotalola]

Everyone standing. Line consolidated. Looked like some line jumping back around 150 or so. They're letting people in, in groups.

 

[Lila64]

Woohoo!

I hear kafrun touched Bono!

 

[Lila64]

Apparently there is soundcheck going on, according to chels82. Just in case you don't want to know...

Spoiler

Elevation, In A Little While.

Bono sounds great (duh, )


Twitter: atu2 Vegas GA line is absurdly long - Mobypicture - Vegas GA line is absurdly long

Supposed to be let in starting at 5:30pm

 

[Lila64]

More soundcheck news

Spoiler

Unknown Caller, Until The End Of The World. Edge missed about 10 notes of the latter. And the GA line is singing along - awesome!

 

[one4u2]

I'm sorry someone tell me why I didn't goto Vegas again?

 

[Miringeltje]

I'm ing all the updates!

 

[Lila64]

I'm sorry someone tell me why I didn't goto Vegas again?

[lauramullen]

It's OK.
Even though I'm thinking the same thing as well.

 

[U2Mama]

my friend is there and just texted me that she heard the sound check from about 100 yards back..crowd so far is very mellow. I so wish I was there too!!!

 

[kellyahern]

I'll fourth that

Stupid mandatory work event tomorrow

 

[SandyCo]

Delurking to say that I even wish I was there, and I had never considered Vegas until I discovered all of the nice people on this forum!

 

[lauramullen]

Stupid car that needed a new part that cost over $1000

 

[one4u2]

I'll make up for it next leg! Yes that's it...it's fine I did get Dublin

 

[lauramullen]

Me too. Dublin beats Vegas in my book and we have next Friday to look forward to.

 

[lauramullen]

GA was let in!

Did u get tix?

 

[lauramullen]

No, but I got that free ticket thingy that was posted on here. Better than nothing.

 

[Lila64]

Carlos is on the rail with Fitz & someone else, that's all I've heard so far. I believe he was shooting for outer rail. Skjuls tweeted the line going in is horrible, but she is in the pit, center back rail.
