Mrs. Edge
Bono's Belly Dancing Friend
Hi guys!
I know it's been so long you've forgotten who I am by now! The reason I am so quiet this week is that I'm in a huge fundraising conference that is going on until mid-Saturday this weekend, and thus my internet time has been reduced dramatically. I haven't a clue what's been going on in the world of Pleba, haven't had time to read anything, but next week, I will be back with a vengance.
Anyway, last night I attended the Cdn premiere of the DVD (it's not released until Dec 4 here!!!). It was was hosted by a couple of radio stations and you could go if you phoned in for tickets.
At the conference of course I have no access to radio, so what did I do? I wrote a small essay to the director of promotions about what a deserving recipient of tickets I am, and lo and behold I got tickets. They weren't even tickets, they were very cool "VIP" type backstage pass type laminated tags!
But the show! AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! What a way to see the DVD for the first time! 50ft high U2 with sound that was as loud as the actual shows (the bass and drums were vibrating through my stomach)! There's also something so incredible about NOT having to line up, but just to watch the show, completely relaxed and without a camera in front of your face or any stress whatsoever. It made me appreciate the amazing rush that is U2 in their prime even MORE if that's possible. I tell you, if I could produce a drug to match how I felt watching that last night, I'd be a rich woman. I am DEFINITELY getting a DVD player this Xmas!!!!
Anyway, the point of all this is that although I am still in PED mode, I have been re-inspired, and have a whole new appreciation for Bono (not that I didn't appreciate him before, but I do even more now if that's possible). I think I will finally be able to write a good story for Miss Zooropa, and I hope to have it out next week.
TTYL!
