PGP - are you too good to show us your bloopers??

As highly appealing as that is, 15 hrs away is doubtful. I'm still holding onto some optimism that you can be convinced that Montreal is in your best interest, though.

I'm fairly decent at US geography, but I was thinking Minneapolis is much closer to Milwaukee than it is - I looked into a trip there some years back with some baseball buddies. I was promised plenty of beer and brats if I went. I was wrong about their proximity, obviously, boo.

Do it!! I'll be there

I'm driving 12 hours to get to Chicago, then driving 15 hours from Chicago to Montreal, then driving 6 hours from Montreal to Toronto, then either driving 9 hours from Toronto to Philly or taking a long ass train ride.
Then fly home from Philly and a week later drive 7 hours from Thunder Bay to Minneapolis and back

.....and all the while getting little to no sleep lining up super early and camping out. Man, I'm tired just thinking about it

[VintagePunk]

Wow! Are you realistically going to be able to do that on so little sleep? Do you have someone to at least split the driving with?

I don't mean to sound preachy, just concerned. I just know how exhausting doing multiple consecutive shows in GA is.

[dazzledbylight]

hi & bye and see you later!!!

All these new rain-soaked pictures of Bono in leather are seriously distracting me.

I can't work under these conditions!

I mean, COME ON! Just look at that GQ mother-effer.

As Christian Bale would yell: "It's fucking distracting!"

[VintagePunk]

I've been watching the videos. I'd like the dvd now, plz.

I'm shocked that Matt's camera didn't get destroyed. Which would have been very, very sad for so many of us.

We play it on purpose almost every few days. It's gold. Half the language we speak in this house though is movie quotes, and that one is right in there too. If you do not speak the language of movies you might not be able to communicate in our house.

I have NO idea how to download DVD bootlegs or any of that so if anyone figures out how to get a copy of the Moscow show and can make me a copy I'll pay for a DVD and postage and maybe even send you a little something extra kthx

Oh, sure! It's Convert X To DVD. ConvertXtoDVD - AVI to DVD Video Converter to burn on DVD

Here's a list of all the formats it supports: ConvertXtoDVD Video format supported

and it does it all without installing codec packs on your computer.

The only format I've found that it doesn't burn are ISOs (although later versions may, mine is a couple of versions ago)...but that's no big deal, I found a free program to burn ISOs, which I think I've used maybe twice in the past year - both times for non-U2 stuff.

You can find it on torrent sites. I was just saying the other day that in my opinion, it's one of those rare products that actually does what it's supposed to do, and does it well, and that it's well worth the money. And then there's also the free legal version, but that's the one with the watermark. Still, you could download that and try it on something non-important, just to see how it works, if you like it, etc.

Bratwurst Def worth a 16 hr drive if they're good.

ZOMG - yeah, you might die from that. I know I'd get sick. I'd wind up with a cold/flu. After Phx/Vegas/Pasadena last year I had no voice - actually by Pasadena I sounded like Kathleen Turner and by the end of the show I wasn't even making any noise when I screamed.

I'm thinking about driving to Oakland next year - save on a plane ticket, esp if I could hook up with someone in LA to split gas $$ and share driving.

VP I thank you for remembering me that program. I used it for all my bootlegs, excellent program , and then I lost it because my laptop crashed. Forgot the name - and voila.
Now I have it again! Creepy even the internet has fate.

Glad I inadvertently helped! It's an amazing program, isn't it? What I like about it is that it does *everything* for you. You just put in the name of the file to burn, and as if by magic, it's done.

I messed around with a shitload of free programs, and even some that you have to buy (although I tried them for free first ) and they were awful. This one is just so...intuitive.

It's also relatively fast with file conversions. Sarah has a windows media burning program with her Vista premium (basic doesn't come with it)...and it converts and burns, but it's soooo slow. I think it might not work for some formats, too.

I sound like I work for the company or like I'm getting a cut of sales. I swear I'm not, I just realllly like it.
