Hoping for;

The Fly
Out Of Control
Ultraviolet (Light My Way)

With the possibility of;

Mercy
Every Breaking Wave
One Tree Hill
Your Blue Room
North Star
Electrical Storm
Mothers Of The Disappeared

 

[theu2fly]

Also, I may be attending Leaning Tower possibly later on in the evening, may be sky diving before arriving into Minneapolis, then checking into the hotle, then going to Brit's Pub for lawn bowling and then after that, anything goes...

Won't it be so cruel to play "Space Oddity" from your cell phone while waiting for U2 to come on stage?

I keeping listening to Space Oddity on youtube to recreate the band coming onto stage feeling, I thought I would find other U2 fans on that id, but the Bowie "fans" are just arguing about his bi/homosexuality

 

[corianderstem]

YouTube comments are one of the new circles of hell; I'm convinced of it.

 

[blackhawksjon]

Play Heartland and I will quit attending U2 shows for the rest of my natural life

I think we're going to have to drop out guys. Cori, I'll send you a message tomorrow and explain.


Maybe I'll hit the jackpot and see you all in Moncton.

Love your avi!

FYI....you can bring cameras with lenses up to 6" into the venue. It's on the website and I called to make sure. I'm bringing my M9 instead of the point and shoot.

Nikon D40X with my 55-200mm (May have to get that 55-300 I've had my eye before this show.)

 

[kramwest1]

I think this is the last show for many of us, so I'll be sad for sure!

Don't even say it Mark!!!!

Hey Cori, where you gonna be on the 30th?

 

[kramwest1]

I cannot even tell you guys how humid it is outside right now--not even Miami, it's jungle in Indonesia humid.

 

[ryancoke71]

Hey Cori, where you gonna be on the 30th?

I know I am not going to be camping or in a GA line!

I have looked at the weather for next week Mark, and I can't even believe it! Friday looks insane.

 

[kramwest1]

I cannot even tell you guys how humid it is outside right now--not even Miami, it's jungle in Indonesia humid.

I'm used to my crappy windows on the house getting moistured-up in the winter. This morning I couldn't see out most of them (even the 3 new windows I have) because of the condensation on the outside.

 

[ryancoke71]

Be careful!

 

[blackhawksjon]

Going for a walk around the lake before it gets any more miserable. At least the weather doesn't require a snow shovel Let's hope the weather people are wrong for Saturday.

 

[kramwest1]

Be careful!

We're driving down to Plainview (wherever the hell that is) today to see our favorite theater company put on a show. It's supposed to be cooler there.

I'll put in a plug for them here:
Four Humors Theater
These are the funniest and smartest theater people in the Twin Cities. I just love them.

They have an awesome show coming up in the the Fringe Festival at the Bryant Lake Bowl. You Only Live Forever Once :: Minnesota Fringe 2011 :: August 4 - August 14 :: Minneapolis + St. Paul

*prays for GA line doable weather on Saturday*

Here's a link and a pic of the camera policy. I'm printing it out and bringing it with me to the stadium.

[blackhawksjon]

I printed it yesterday. I am also going to have it at the ready on my iphone.

OMG....the weather right now is just awful. I hope it lightens up by the weekend. I go for a 3 mile walk around one of our lakes on a very regular basis. Takes a little under an hour to get around it. I started this morning at 8:45 and was just ready to pass out half way around. I always bring a bottle of water with me but that didn't help. Just a miserable walk and it took me over an hour to finish because I could barely walk.

Saturday is going to be a sweaty mess by all!

yeah good luck with that! If you haven't left yet I'd rethink going out to walk....

how can they ban water bottles? Do they want all of GA passing out?!?!

 

[kramwest1]

And what was our high temp. for a day back in January? -15F/ -26C?

Gotta love this state.

I know...I cry all winter long that I want to get to the lakes for a walk and then come July I have to skip a lot of days due to the heat/humidity. This summer has been such a downer for lake time. Rained most of May/June and now it's too gross out to move.
