Color me stupid, but what does NEO mean? My brain isn't working yet today. And when is the VA show?

Thanks for the info. I hadn't heard any of that. It sucks, of course, that I paid up to renew and get a code--and got a Horizon code--and couldn't use it because all of the shows are so far from me. I mean, NO shows in OH, Penn, KY, IN, MI, etc.? That's a huge section of the country out of...

Haven't been on in a while and am wondering if there's any news--even rumors!--of 2010 show dates yet. I didn't use my pre-sale code for any of the 2009 shows (none were even close to where I live), so I'm wondering if 2010 will go on sale before my code expires. Ah, well.

I can't agree enough with upthread posters about being nice to those in line around you. I actually baked cookies and shared with our line mates (I also had a bunch of extra ONE wristbands and shared them around), and it came in handy when it was time to go check into our hotel and drop off our...

My sister and I were on the rail for a show right in front of Larry and Bono during LAPOE. Bono bent over, a stick in each hand, right toward us. But, being height challenged, we were screwed. A person on each side of us had a longer reach and snatched those puppies right out of his hands. So if...

I don't know about camping, but as far as bathroom breaks the best thing is to BE NICE to the people around you. Make friends so that they'll keep your spot, and do the same for them in return.

OK, I'll bite :) My sister and I did GA in '05 in Cleveland... in December. It was COLD! We were #130 and #131; Miroslava, IIRC, was "in charge" of the sign-in list. We brought chairs and sleeping bags to keep warm, and we were outside from 9 a.m.-ish until around 3 or so, when it was time to...

You know what, I didn't explain myself well and you're right--I sound like an ass. And for that I apologize. I was talking about the "universal" me, not about you specifically. My point is that people are so caught up in what they're doing and what they want that their actions cross the line...

I remember you! I haven't thought much about the Cgicago show. I'm waiting to see if any OH shows will be announced for 2010 first. I've got a presale code, so I'll be using that when the right show is announced. If you decide for Chicago--good luck!

How nice for you. Those of us who have been bothered by someone yakking away will try to ignore it, then. I just used it as an example of ways that people are less than courteous when in crowds. Forgive me for breaking the rules of conversation. Oh for fuck's sake. I give up. I was throwing...

From the email we got, you can use the code for the upcoming presales for Europe OR US dates for 2009. From what Sicy found out upthread, there's a chance that we won't be able to use our current code for 2010 shows AND we might not get a new code for 2010. But who knows.

I get ya. But the fact is that while the idea of "live and let live" is nice, when person 1's actions infringe upon person 2's viewing or listening of an event, person 1 has crossed the line. It's hard to enjoy the show, no matter how much you try to pay attention to it, when someone is yelling...

Hi Seth in Dayton! :wave: Who else here is waiting for 2010 show announcements?

No way, dude. Too easy for the teacher to see. Tether ball courts!

Yeah, and then all you do is SCREAM into the phone and annoy everyone around you!

niiiiice

Well, not that I'm surprised to hear that Prince did this, but isn't it a bit late to close the barn door when everyone has cameras on their phones?! I've been wondering if that's why U2 doesn't ban cameras--not because they're necessarily generous toward their fans but because once you set the...

You're right--I was just adding another pet peeve! Carry on... :wink:

No, it's not about a couple of pics. It's standing behind the crowd and all you see is the blue of the the tiny camera screens rather than fists in the air and hands clapping and people jumping up and down. U2 (esp. Bono) THRIVE on that, and I wonder if it sucks for them as much as it sucks for...

...can we add to this the issue with people getting wasted (either booze or drugs) for a show? Um, why spend so freaking much $$$ to treat it like a night out at a bar? Plus, it's so damn annoying when someone a few feet away is lit and belligerent. A friend of my sister ended up in the "medical...

Totally. My beef with this started *years* ago on a trip to, of all places, Mt. Rushmore. Lines of people stood at the entrance filming the mountain. I wanted to ask them if they thought the heads were going to talk! People can't seem to have experiences without recording them to make them...

Sorry! We posted at the same time and I didn't mean for my post to be a response to/comment on yours. It was just a coincidence.

OH! And don't get me started on the people who CALL their friends on the phone during the show to tell them how awesome it is! (I about brained some asshat teenager at the *final* American Idiot show a few years back--she spent half the show yammering on the phone about 2 feet away from me.)

I'm happy to see that I'm not alone in this!

Horizon! :hyper: 'Cept I'll be holding onto my U2A code until they announce 2010 dates... they'll not be within several hundreds miles of me this fall (which is JUST FINE because I really don't want a repeat of Dec '05, when we spent ALL of a freezing day outside in the wind on concrete in...
