That's crazy! Not to mention unhealthy.

Good for you, though, for being smart enough to at least bring something.

Have fun!

I made sure I ate/drank alot before 3pm. That way I wouldn't be hungry or thirsty when I was on the rail.

 

[daygloeyes2]

Good.

Take care of yourself!

Thank you and I will!

Just under 3 hours to go!

Anyone driving up tomorrow morning from the Newport, RI area? I'm down here for a wedding today and the rest of my family isn't driving back to MA until later in the day.

Lovely to meet y'all at the bar in Foxboro earlier! Seems like most of the states of the US are gonna be represented tomorrow!

I had a great time meeting a lot of you guys in the GA last night at stoneforge,

I had a great time last night also. It was great meeting both of you. I was happy to meet quite a few Interferencers that i hadn't been before, cathalmc (I forgot to get your autograph though) , mellow moog, daygloeyes, Val, Kassandra, blm, as well as, bonoishot and lauramullen, who I had met previously. I think I met a few other people, but after a couple of scotches I'm lucky i remember who I did.

I went with U2floridafan and it goes without saying that it was great to see you again!!

I don't know where to post this, but @U2 is up with10000mikes. They tweeted it a couple of minutes ago. I think they are broadcasting soundcheck.

Anybody know of a set-list party thread for Boston#1??

 

[Lila64]

I haven't looked, but usually they are made about 2 hours before the show. But if you want to make one early, go for it!

20 minutes ago:
U2log: U2 just arrived to the stadium. Bono and Edge stopped to say hi to me and a handful of friends. Larry and Adam waved. I'm happy.

 

[uppitycrip]

after seeing at least a single show in boston from every tour since 92 (mainer here) - I skipped this show @ gillette, i cannot believe forty bucks for parking. and i have a bunch of issues - including being broke - but maybe I will do the carnegie hall show. and maybe I might finally meet u2 for the first time.

and I would love to listen to one of those setlist parties. do ppl still stream like they did in 05?

If that picture is accurate, I am very surprised at how little the line is??? I'd think there would be a lot more there by now...

i just checked these pictures, no kidding

maybe everyone was busy watching the jets win

tailgating

hey guys, i'm going to Monday night's show. I havent been to Gillette in a few years, so I was just wondering if anyone is familiar with the tailgating rules? Are charcoal grills allowed? Is there a certain section of the parking lot that you need to use? Will tailgating be allowed after the show? I would appreciate any info on this. Perhaps anyone who goes to tonight's show would have a better idea. Thanks guys!

 

[U2FloridaFan]

Tthere's an official GA line started for Bos2 arrive at 8 am tomorrow morning near CBS Scene get number and band. Brad is organizing this. 5ecurity has notified us that anyone trying to line up overnight will be asked to leave the property. There are currently about 70 names on the official list. See u all tomorrow for another great show.

 

[BostonAnne]

Here's a pic of the line in front of me:

I'm right in front of you.. behind the guy in the red shirt. I'm wearing a red sweatshirt around my waist. 2 of my GA partners are in the blue sweatshirt and maroon tshirt.

 

[U2crush]

Did you guys see the guy in the cow costume in ga ???
I remember him from elevation tour!
Also, what did the ga signs say?? There were many

 

[dream chaser]

This new stadium confuses me so I'm asking here for a friend arriving tomorrow at noon trying to get an autograph for her friend in hospital... Where does the band come in for soundcheck? I'd like to help her out but I don't want to leave GA line to go hunting.

I didn't see him in line, but I did see him on the screen while Snow Patrol were on. My friends and I thought we were imagining it at first.

 

[MoodyJ]

I literally got home about 30 minutes ago. I had a blast, but the traffic out of Gillette was insane. Thankfully tomorrow night we're staying at the hotel and can walk from the show.

O_O Thanks, I thought I was nuts (I only caught a quick glimpse of "cow", possibly on the giant screen...).

I saw one that Bono stopped in front of saying "Bono, it's my birthday" and one in front of me saying "kiss me, Bono", nothing super unique.

Ugh, lucky! We've got that wonderful trek in store for us yet again. Hopefully I can convince the peeps this time that it is not, in fact, a soothing/great idea to "just try!" to leave right away.
