Wow, I'm FINALLY posting after years of lurking. I've spent the entire last week in a state of U2-induced bipolar behavior. I've gone from the extreme high of hearing about the Boston, March 11th show, the fervor of calling every single radio station about a thousand million times, the productive feeling of creating an intricate spreadsheet with contest times, phone numbers, rules, etc., and now to the utter depression that has set in from realizing that I have NOT won tickets to the show and won't be there. I've been a mess. I was so caught up in all this that I didn't even think to log on here to join the crowd that was going through the same experience and now share my misery. But, I've smartly come to the conclusion that 'you sometimes just can't make it on your own' and that's why I'm posting now.
I'm 38 and a long-time, super-devoted U2 follower. Actually, until the advent of the Internet, I truly believed that I was their #1 fan. . .ha! Then I saw the web-sites and how people are willing to live at home with their parents until they're 50 so that they can afford to follow the entire tour and realized that I was NOT, in fact, #1.
Anyway, glad to be here as part of this great U2 community!
