Shuttlecock XXV: Praying for Bono's Ball Circulation

[No spoken words]

1,800 names come up when I search for you.

 

[Lila64]

Did you try scumbo? How many matches could come up with that name? Or perhaps try Utahn Justice?

 

[coolian2]

i've been approved to apply for my us visa

 

[corianderstem]

Really? No one asked me if I thought it was a good idea for you to come here. Where do I send my strongly-worded letter of complaint?

I kid - that's awesome!

Immigration is really lenient on sheep crimes, eh?!

I kid, congrats.

Surprisingly, the $10 U2 keychain looks pretty good sitting on my desk shining in the light from my monitor.

my secret is don't get caught.

thanks too!




for $10 it had better light up or something. then again, i'm not getting a shoulder rub from my $40 t-shirt, so who knows.

 

[Lila64]

Do you have a pic of said keychain?
Did you guys buy a program? I wondering if I should order one online so I don't have to worry about carrying it or getting damaged on the day of the show.

And congrats Ian.

It's shinier and nicer looking than that, but you get the general idea.

I'm watching this video in my Modern Pop Music class, and early- to mid-'90s Bono shows up to talk about Elvis. He truly looks like a badass there. I miss that.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Front: NSW Ruined My Life

Back: U2:360

They were all out of that one when I bought my shirt.

Quick drive by to say hiiiii to joyful and that it was awesome meeting her. Except for those flipping trains and all - M I RITE?

I wish I was in TO right now.

 

[BoMac]

I wish I was in TO right now.

 

[Irvine511]

anyone want to come to charlottesville with me?

i got an extra GA.

 

[u2popmofo]

Other than our boys, Elfa and BoMaqAttaq, was anyone else from here going to Toronto?

 

[phanan]

Wasn't NSW making a last minute trip over there with his frequent flyer miles?

[LMP]

Close. No hat, but full beard.

Shit, imagine if they had lingered in that trajectory a little longer instead of dropping Pop a year too early. I think an ATYCLB-esque album would've happened, but they wouldn't have been afraid of putting songs like "Stateless" or "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" on there, that's for sure.

Oh well, revisionism is always fun.

 

[No spoken words]

He was. He even bought two tickets to tomorrow's show.

Then reality kicked him in the spleen, and he got his miles back and the tickets are in the possession of a fellow interlander now.

 

[u2popmofo]

It's all for the best, NSW. You probably would have gotten some weird Canadian disease, like wussitis.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Joyful, you're older than I thought you were.

Such a charmer.

I thought she was 21-22ish (I knew she must be at least 17 cause GAF doesn't hit on her constantly), but I'm now guessing she's 28-29.

Well done.

 

[u2popmofo]

Joyful, that U2 application for Blackberry is available to download now.

BlackBerry App World - U2 Mobile Album

I unfortunately learned when I tried to download it that my company's IT department has put some sort of lock on it to not allow you download any applications. How am I supposed to keep up to date on what U2 is up to now?! Oh wait....

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Ok which one of you Chicago mofos got me sick?

 

[Lila64]

U2popmofo: Also in Canada I do believe: VintagePunk, unico, kafrun (the latter two being on the news this morning), Drea, ... some others from the forum as well...

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

If Elfa and BoMac were to get into a fist fight this evening, who would win?

And, yes, Bono looks cool in that pic from the mid-90's that Peef posted. Wasn't that during his self-proclaimed "drink whiskey every day" phase? Or am I making that up?

 

[Irvine511]

And, yes, Bono looks cool in that pic from the mid-90's ...

but think of how annoying he would have become and all the bad poetry we'd have to endure if he'd continued in that vein.

 

[mikal]

my god, have you seen the idiots in the 360 vs. Vertigo Tour thread?

 

[joyfulgirl]

I don't know what your symptoms are but I just got an email from a friend in Chicago who I DID NOT see while I was there but she just got diagnosed with swine flu. So there's swine flu in Chicago. Not to be an alarmist or anything but if you have flu-like symptoms you might want to get it checked out or at least start pounding down some supplements to boost your immune system.

Great meeting you, too. I'm still coveting that hat.

 

[corianderstem]

I've had a bit of a sore throat since Monday night, but as it hasn't progressed from that and my voice is still wonky, I really think I strained something seriously hard with my voice on Sunday night.

 

[u2popmofo]

May have had something to do with the 3 or 4 hrs of sleep you got before waking up at 5am to get in the GA line...

On my train ride back to the airport, I had two separate women sitting near me call in sick to work on their cell phones. Either they were faking it and were on the way to go have fun, or they were infecting the whole train car with whatever they were sick with. Hopefully not the latter.

 

[corianderstem]

my god, have you seen the idiots in the 360 vs. Vertigo Tour thread?

I browsed through the last 4 pages of it, and not once did I feel the urge to respond to anything, nor did I remotely care.

I feel this is a large and important step for me and my sanity.

I'm sick as can be today. Damn head colds when it is beautiful out.
