ooh goody, I love a chance to talk about my u2 history, lol!
First I want to say that at this moment I'm listening to RTSS from Vertigo Seattle, the first show I saw, and it's making me cry because that is kind of my song and I cried all the way through it at the concert, and now everytime I hear the bootleg...
Anyway, yeah, I've been a fan for about 20-25 years or so. I first remember seeing them when MTV was new, the New Years Day video of them standing out in the snow in the big winter coats.
I can't say what it was that grabbed me way back then, it was just that special u2 something. I had all the records, then all the tapes. I wore out so many cassettes, especially UF and JT. I used to listen to them on my walkman while I wandered around the small town where I lived.
I never got to see them live because I grew up in Montana, and they never came anywhere even remotely close. In the '90s, when I was an adult and could have perhaps traveled to see them, I was busy having babies and couldn't afford it.
I wanted to go to Elevation so bad, but I had a baby that fall. I promised myself I wouldn't miss the next tour, so when Vertigo came around, I knew I had to go.
I flew to Seattle, alone, and went to the 2 concerts, alone. The first night I had GA, I got a great spot on the rail, it was awesome. It was life changing. Edge winked at me and Adam did a double take when he saw me crying my eyes out during Streets.
The next day I met Bono and Edge (again with the crying. god, how embarassing).
this is way too long, I'm sorry! I could go on and ON and on, but this is a chat thread and I really am trying to keep it short.
What?
Havent seen you in forever. You know you want the Blue Crack really. 
How was your babyshower?
"Jared Leto's hot!"
