comet, the knife set is up right now!! Just started - 7500 so far!
So hey, what the hell, why not use some of that money for another U2 concert?
'cept it reminds me of Clockwork Orange (didn't Alex sing that) and that movie gave me nightmares
Yes, that was me. I've never been outside of North America, so I'm really excited. I did a ton of research and planning a few months ago, and then kind of put it aside because it's sooo far off yet, too early to make firm plans. But I'm planning on two weeks next September.
Tentative itinerary is to fly into Cork, spend a day there to acclimate (I don't think I spelled that right), drive to Dingle, spend a few days in that area, then up to Galway to spend a handful of days in and around (Aran Islands, all the other stuff to see there), and then ditch the car and hop the train to Dublin to close out the trip there, seeing the sights and taking a couple of day trips (up to newgrange, down to wicklow) before flying home.
I've gotten loads of helpful tips and info from people all over the net, including here. Researching has been so fun.
:lol : That sounds like something I'd add on, to avoid being construed as being selfish. :shifty :
Dude, you should save Ireland for a year when they're not on this side of the pond!
:shifty :
DAMN BONO'S BACK! :scream :
I have a plan for saving between now and then, but the way things are going (i.e., I SUCK at saving money), I'll probably end up charging more than I care to admit with the trip. :reject :

Just to continue the bootleg discussion - back at ITH 2005 I won a dvd of Elevation Barcelona (Edge's birthday). It's a great dvd, but it's heartbreaking to hear Bono dedicating Kite to his father "who is very ill" knowing that only a few weeks later he'll be mourning Bob's passing...
YES!! That's the attitude we're going for, here.

Dude, if I win the lottery, I'm going to all the damned shows. (Then I'll write a book about it and really live my dream!)
And drinks will be on me.

Have you met Cathal?
Although it looks like I might need to rethink my strategy of outer rail - from the DVD, it looks like it might be farther from the stage than I thought!
Have any of you been right at the front on this tour? My impression of the stage is that it's kind of high off the ground - if I'm short and in the front row of the pit, will I have a stiff neck after 5 minutes from looking up? Can you actually see them from right there? Is the stage not as high as I'm thinking it is?
Yep Cathal is currently living the dream. Well partly ( apart from the lottery part )
I'm finally hoping to get a copy of his book in Athens.

I'm hoping to get one in Brussels , and get him to sign it
comet, 7500 was the final bid on the knife set. Wow, this thing is moving fast. Sarah's busy in the kitchen and put her laptop next to me so I can shout out bids to her.
Funny, I was watching some footage, thinking it might be fun to be right up close, but if i can't see Larry, I might as well not go
Have you met Cathal?
I've done front row, and yes you can see them - but I don't know if I'd recommend it for someone a great deal shorter than me... How tall are you again?
*buys cori a ticket*
I could see Larry, but then again TO1 I was second row up front between Bono and Adam, and TO2 I was front row just past Adam (granted I had a better view of Larry the second night, as I didn't have a Claw light in my eyes from time to time ) - and I'm 5'9", 5'10" on a good day
DUDE.
