Well my heart is where it's always been, my head i
Marina, I read your story at the U2LA group, it's great how you met the B-man, congrats!
I know the PLEBA girls would love to hear all the details.
Mike's story about running into Adam in the ladies restroom is too funny.

ps:
sorry about your jersey but it's in good hands.

OK, here's Mike's story about bumping into Adam in the restroom:

" I run up to
the bathroom entrance and bump into this guy who I notice is dressed
rather casually compared to all the other guests. I move to his
right to get out of his way, but he moves to his right to get out of
his way, and so he moved to his left. I did the same thing, so we
did a little dance for about 3 steps until we manage to get out of
each other's way and we both say excuse me at the same time. I
notice a deep polite british voice that seemed familar. When I look
at him as he steps past me, it hits me. It's Adam!! I say, "hey!".
And then Adam has a look as if he remembers me! He smiles and
says, "how have you been?" I say, "fine, how are you?!" and my head
is going 1,000 mph wondering how and where he knows me from, and
trying to simultaneously calculate what to say next. Then he says
something like, "so you're here with Tony. i haven't seen toni in
quite a bit. I'll see you guys later on?" And I was a bit confused-
then in that second I realize he must be mistaking me for "toni's"
friend, whoever he or she is, but I didn't know what else to say, so
i just said, "yea, we'll see you later on!" so he nods and with a
smirk, he mentions something about "good selection, they are so much
cleaner." or something to that effect. he turns around and walks
away. and i'm left puzzled at what he meant by that. I stand there
for a second both confused and in awe at the moment, but i still have
business to do so i go in what i see is the most decorated done up
bathroom i've been in, complete with a sofa, plants, paitings,
artwork lining this huge mirror, and of course the stalls. I do my
business and as I leave, I see this manly looking woman walk in
wearing this red dress. She looks like she could crush me like a
grape with her bare hands. I almost expect her to say in an Arnold
Swarzennegar accent, "I will crush you like a grape if you do not
move out of my way!". I quickly realize it's that wrestler chick,
Chyna. I say as hello as i leave, but she gives me a wierd look.
What a bitch! i think to myself, and then i kinda cracked myself up
when I realized that Chyna goes to the men's restroom. lol. Oh man,
wait till i tell everyone about that! lol.

But then it hit me. As i finally Exit the bathroom, a group of women
enter the bathroom. and then i look across the hall and it
says, "gentlemen". Then I look behind me, and clearly marked near
bathroom I just went into: "ladies". I was too much in a rush to
realize!

At that second, i felt like i was in the twilight zone. And then I
felt like an idiot. Adam bassist of U2 saw me in the ladie's room!
oh man. how embarrassing. But then thought, what the hell was he
doing there?! So he made the same mistake! But then, it got even
better! I realized that maybe Adam likes to go to the ladies
room!!! That's what he meant by saying good choice, they are always
so much cleaner! So now isn't that in interesting fact you guys now
know about your favorite bassist? there are other funny little
stories too....just not as revealing as this one, lol...but kinda
cool and interesting....
 
Oh I'm caught, lol, ok ok I guess I have to write it sometime. It's just so frieking long and I'm still so high on it that it's hard to explain, I mean the jersey was just a small part of it.

Alright, alright, tell you what I'll try to get started on it I got pieces of it everywhere, oh I'm so tired from my fieldtrip today that all I wanted was a shower and a bed. But ok ok, I'll get to work.

Memo to self: hang out in ladies room, wait for Adam...

It is for real, trust me I know Mike, he was a seatfiller at the Grammy's he's not lying. Adam likes the ladies's bathroom better.

Besides that means you PLEBANS can actually chase him to the bathroom w/o looking too obvious. Think of the possibilities
wink.gif


Anyways I'm busy at work with my story, it's a frieking novel, when it's done I'll post it.

LMFAO!!!!! OMG!!!!! ADAM IN THE GIRL'S BATHROOM!!!! That's too funny....he must hang out there alot...I mean what would you do if you went into a girl's bathroom and ran into Adam? I'd like freak out then wonder what the hell he was doing in there LOL
 
It never ceases to amaze me. Here, we have a man who claims professes to enjoy flower arranging, has no qualms over donning a skirt at any given time and, now we learn, prefers to use the ladies' restroom. And yet somehow he manages to embody all that is masculine and sexy. I don't know how he does it.

I'm registered as a seatfiller with seatfiller.com but didn't get an email asking me about the grammy's. maybe they used another company this time...

I was a seatfiller last year for the SAG awards. It was awesome. I was really hoping for luck at the grammy's but alas it wasn't meant to happen this time!
