Here's a shout-out to all the members who came to the Maguires...

Nice to meet everyone who made it Good start to a great weekend.

Still pretty worn out form it, thought the shows were great with Saturday night edging it. Nothing quite like seeing U2 in their hometown

 

[Lila64]

Alright, how many of you are now sick since you returned?

Because I am. I want to know who gave it to me!

 

[Harley.GirlU2]

what do u mean?

 

[lauramullen]

I started to get sick last Tuesday, the day after the last show. It was only a minor head cold that didn't even bother me the last few days I was there.

 

[Harley.GirlU2]

Thanks God I didn't get sick... Even after the third concert... Because I didn't sleep...just got in the airport and then, a 12 hours flight... and I didn't sleep or anything just when I got here in Brazil... And I'm just fine

 

[bufftibbs]

Quick questions for you guys....I'm sure someone here can answer them. We went to the Friday show and my friends and I cannot remember for the life of us the song that The Edge sang where he awesomely hit the really high notes. Anyone remember?

Also, trying to remember the song that played wile the HUGE faces of the band members were on the screen. Any help on these two would be great!

 

[Harley.GirlU2]

the other one is I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight

You gave it to me! But seriously though, what I have is nothing compared to what you have... I may have had an infection too, but it feels like normal cold/cough.

 

[superblue]

My wife is sick........definitely something she picked up there. I've been fighting the good fight!

 

[lauramullen]

There was so many germs there too. I had wetones, but I somehow lost them.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I am blaming it on the flight and limited sleep.

 

[lauramullen]

That too. I took airborn before I left, but I didn't bring it with me.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

This crap hit me about 2 days after I returned. Just waiting for antibiotics to kick in and kill it.

 

[Harley.GirlU2]

I guess I'm lucky, because... the swine flu is hudge problem in Brazil now... If I'd get sick abroad... I think I couldn't get in again

 

[superblue]

I am blaming it on the flight and limited sleep.

Yup, I totally agree with this.

The Monday of Dublin 3 was a blur:

Up at 4:30 am to be out of the hotel by 5am to walk all the way to Croker and get there by 6am.

Wait in line ALL day....cramped, only to be squished and standing up in the Pit. (not that we didnt love every second of it)

Walking back to the hotel, getting there by 1am only to......

Be awake by 3:30am to get a flight at 6:50am on Tues back to the States with a layover in Brussels, Belgium.

We were absolutely as exhausted as can be. I'm surprised only one of us got sick, to be honest......

 

[lauramullen]

It hit me the day after Dublin 3 and it was only a itte congestion and cough. I found a pharmacy and took some medicine. I didn't leave till last Thursday, so I was ok when I got home. It didn't ruin the rest of my trip

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I am dealing with an upper respiratory infection and acute bronchitis. I tend to always come down with something upon returning home from anywhere that requires me to fly. I am just happy it is not the swine flu.

 

[lauramullen]

OMG yeah. The news says that it is big over in Europe and I was praying that I didn't get that

 

[Harley.GirlU2]

Did u know that here in Brazil we're not having school and etc because of the swine flu?

 

[lauramullen]

Really. I don't know how bad it is in the US

 

[Harley.GirlU2]

yeah... It's going to start next week for me... and some schools and etc only August 17...

 

[lauramullen]

School doesn't start here until September

 

[Harley.GirlU2]

yeah it is because here we just have July during the winter vacation... and summer vacation, December and January

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

some school districts here in N.Georgia have already returned back to school. Sucks to be a kid!

 

[Harley.GirlU2]

really?
