PGP: Saluting Right Back at Bono

[Galeongirl]

Oooooh, they didn't play SBS!!! That's exciting! And they brought back Pride. I know I'm in the minority but I'd rather hear that than SBS.

*ducks flying tomatoes*

Both have a great singalong factor, but I really liked Pride last year.

 

[Galeongirl]

You guys all amaze me keeping up with several threads all at once. I can barely keep up with 1, especially if it's a setlist party. How do you do it!?

Tabs. One with PGP, one with Setlist party, one general interference. Then another window with Twitter, tab with Mikes, tab with u2gigs on. One good thing about not being able to concentrate and being easily distracted. I can multitask like WOAH.

 

[zuropa_fit]

yeah, I say no Bullet, no SBS. YES BAD!

 

[bonocomet]

I decided at the start of this leg that the setlist parties are waaaaay too annoying for me this tour, so I follow along on twitter and post in here.

The last 2 have been MUCH better. I was in the same boat as you too, but they have cooled off from posting all the brownie stuff now. (Not as bad as before) I skipped a lot of them too because I also was annoyed. (No offense to anyone who wasn't annoyed!)

 

[Galeongirl]

I actually wouldn't mind Bullet being brought back, either. I thought if anything would replace SBS, it would be that.

Only if it's the Zootv version. The others I won't miss.

 

[VintagePunk]

I like it live, and I think it would fit with the claw. And they do change it up on tours. I just always figured that would be the one that's interchangeable with the SBS spot, and I'm at the point where SBS makes me want to stab my eardrums. So, basically, anything but that.

Yeah, I was in that boat, too. I was pre-emptively whiny about what the setlist parties would be like, but they've been fine. And fun!

But to each their own, obviously - if the parties make a return to their brownie ways, no one's forcing me to follow them.

That's exactly what I mean, you amaze me I'm like with all those open. I mean I do it too, but I can't concentrate on any of them.

I actually told the guy to stop posting the fucking things. It was really out of hand and made no sense. I'm fine with a few posters being nice and posting a pic of a drink and some food, that's tradition. But he posted 18 fucking pages full of brownie pics, started about brownie threesomes and orgies and such. There's a fine line you can pass, but he went WAY over it.

This. I'm a multitasking pro, as that's pretty much what I do at work all day.

Although it's harder with a laptop now, since I'm more used to a mouse, and it's not as fast for me to move the cursor with my fingers to move from tab to tab. There's probably a key function to do that, but I haven't figured it out. I need to see if I can get my mouse to work on the laptop, as that would really speed things up for me.

Be glad you're a normal human. I'll find out what my issues are sooner rather than later when I get my lovely personal tests done. But the multitasking is actually a positive part on it. The hyperfocus, however, isn't. When I'm in this mode you can talk to me IRL all you want, I won't register it at all. Won't even realise you're talking to me until you poke me.

Is it September 22nd yet



Hi girls

 

[corianderstem]

I like using multiple tabs, too, but I haven't figured out a shortcut to navigate between them yet. Is there one?

I loooove using the alt-tab trick to flick through different applications/windows I have open, but that doesn't work with tabs and I have to use the mouse.

 

[VintagePunk]

Ooooh, comet, Sarah just told me that the Lost auctions are on today! Are you following them?

 

[Thora]

This was the first setlist party I joined in on fully for this leg of the tour - the other times really annoyed me, so I left after a few minutes, but this one was fun.

I loved you for that.

I hate to be one of those people who are all "things were SO much better back when..." but yeah, last tour's SLPs were more fun.

Hi girls

Wild!

 

[WildHoney]

I was watching U2 this time 9 years ago

Such an emotional show

 

[corianderstem]

Yeah, it's annoying enough when regular pages take ages to load because there are 25 pictures (I mean, don't get me wrong - I expect it in the picture threads).

But in a thread that moves that fast? It's just not good.

Wow, you were at that show? Oh, man.

 

[Galeongirl]

I'm afraid I have to agree Vp. Last tour's setlist parties were better organised. Less trash posts with the pics and the chatter, more focussed on the setlist itself and to have decent DISCUSSIOn about it rather than bullshit bitching of the setlist the second a song missed a show. I'm getting old I think.

 

[zuropa_fit]

I've never done setlist parties before this tour so I figured all the chit-chat was just par for the course.

18 pages of brownies? I think some ppl just like to be "in on the joke".

Cori, I don't know any shortcuts for mac (which I use). Hell, I don't know many shortcuts for PC besides the obvious ones everyone knows

Wild. I'm headed to Target here in a few minutes. If they don't have it at the one by my house, I'll check the other on on my way out to dinner tonight.

I have a dvd bootleg of the show. But I cannot get myself to watch it. Sofar I've only watched Kite and a bit of WOWY, had to turn it off. I felt like I was intruding.

 

[corianderstem]

I have that video bootleg, too. I haven't watched the whole thing, and it's not the greatest quality, and I waffled about getting rid of it when I was weeding out some of my DVDs a few weeks ago.

I justified keeping it because I didn't have any better shows from the Europe leg of the tour, so it stayed.

Do you have the full show? I could only find one that was the part show, about an hour or 90 minutes long, with a bunch of stuff cut off.

 

[WildHoney]

Yes i was

THen you need to buy Slane. *badum tish*

I think it was the full show, got it sent on dvd actually. I'll have a look for you.

wow - I don't know how I'd feel being at that show. Privileged I guess. It took me a bit this morning to get your status about hugs for bono. I was like "What the hell did he do to himself now?" But then I saw something that reminded me - I think it was a post GG made that reminded me it was his anniversary AND the day his da died.

 

[bonocomet]

Ooooh, comet, Sarah just told me that the Lost auctions are on today! Are you following them?

Ooh thanks, I didn't know. So I just asked Chelsea if she knew, and she said yeah but it's too depressing to see all the cool stuff she wants but can't have.

 

[corianderstem]

THen you need to buy Slane. *badum tish*

Oh, yeah. That one.

I was trying to keep at least one show from each part of the tour (rather than having 3 shows, only 2 of which were watchable), but wasn't really thinking of the official releases.

I was thinking alternative options, for when I wanted to watch something that wasn't one of the real ones I'd already watched a million times.

 

[bonoishot]

I cannot believe the bitching already started. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with people.

This.

Jem, I'm going to Target in a bit. If I see two posters, I'll get one for ya!

OMG really. x 1000000000000000. Let me know if you want anything sending over from UK/bringing over next summer.

Hi to VP, Wild clone and BC.

Sorry about huge disappearance again. Craig dropped something off for me and we ended up having a serious heart to heart as I was upset over something. ( Nothing he has done ).

Friends.

So did they play Bad?
