PGP: Blue craic, Y U NO WORK...going Paleo on yer arse

[dazzledbylight]

hi everyone... i'm doing some extra visiting at my sis's house several days this week so when she leaves her laptop home guess who uses it ( with her permish, of course )!

Grace! s>>>> thanks for my Birthday video !

I'd never seen it (what show was it from - def NOT red rocks!)

MY fav "screen shot" would be Bono from the (bare) back with the Irish flag he's holding hanging downward, black pants, so beautiful & hot- hips/butt and legs.....

gonna catch up on a 2nd window!

Hope everyone is doing well!


was ogling the cool belt Edge was wearing too.

Mine would be when the band came out in Winnipeg. Front row, first ever GA, Amy and I losing our minds! Nothing like seeing the band up close for the very first time.

Popped my U2 cherry

1) Rome, 8 october 2010

U2 - 360° Tour - Roma, 08/10/10 - Where The Streets Have No Name - YouTube

0.26 - 0.32 when Edge sees my sign and smiles!

2) Turin, 5 august 2010 (the night before the gig), when they came out of the stadium and gave us pizza! I'll never forget that night

It is! I was there in July for the 360 show and had an amazing time. I'm technically supposed to graduate that Saturday, but a) am flunking math and b) will be seeing my gay boyfriend I've known since I was 11. Gonna go look at art somewhere one of the days. When he was getting tickets and threw out days, and said 5/10, I said that's Bono's biggest and GBF said we HAVE to go on that day!

Yeah, what a crazy night!
I was there, out of the stadium since 8.00 pm...around 10-10.30 pm they rehearsed a few songs ,I remember the snippet of Discotheque in Crazy Tonight and Ultraviolet (even if they DIN'T play it at the gig )
Then NOTHING until 1.30 am, when a car stopped in front of us and they were there, walking behind it. They opened the trunk of the car (sorry for my bad english) and took the pizzas! We couldnt believe what was happening! everyone went crazy and started to scream (someone started to sing "happy birthday" to Edge! we, italian fans are too "warm" sometimes . I could see only Edge (thanks God!! ) and Larry. I saw Bono only for one second and no Adam, even if he was there too!

And I adore Edge. In a platonic way.

I was probably "oh hai Edge, I JUST MET BONO, HE'S SO DREAMY, do you know him??"

VP

hope you week will be better!

Not sure if you know much about the parliamentary system of government, but the party I'm a member of is the left wing of our three major parties. Right now, we have a majority government with the leaders being the right wing/conservative party. However, with our system, they were elected with less than 40% of the popular vote (there is a centrist party, although I think they'd like to think of themselves as center-left, and as compared to US politics, they probably are, and my party, the true lefties). People were tired of the centrist party, and so my party was voted in as the opposition party in government, the second in power - they made HUGE gains due to their leader, Jack Layton, this hugely amazing, popular, charismatic but very genuine politician. Then 4 months after the election, Jack Layton passed away - cancer. it was such a sad time, he resonated with people of all political stripes...people just related to him in a way that's extremely rare for politicians. The convention to elect a new leader for the party is this weekend. Everyone wishes it wasn't necessary - no one could ever replace Jack. But the choice will be very important for Canada's political future, to hopefully continue the gains that Jack made.

wow VP!
i didn't know the whole story! that's a fecking shame!


will either look it up weds or listen to BBC World Service and see if they mention Canada

Front row center!

My second was climbing my way to the second stage during Outside Broadcast. I got to touch Bono's thigh. HOWEVER, I don't remember much because I was drunk and I took weird drugs from strangers. So kids, don't take strange drugs from weird strangers.

wow for tx upgrade!!!


ooooh nooooez!
especially>>> if you want to try and grope your Rockstar love/lust interest
AND remember it!!!!! sorry it is funny and a damn drag at the same time. phooey!


oh boy another u2 AND Who fan! (i already know VP's also a Who fan)

i gotz tons of Who shows and fan stories

well for me the stadium thing - since i don't drive- is impossible because they haven't played Yankee Stadium in ?decades!

I was soooooo hoping they'd play either Yankee stadium or the Met's ?Citi Field one since the subway was near by!!
Eiither one i could have stayed out as long as i wanted to see them again!

so i kinda pray for arenas next tour!

i really WAS fucking MAD they skipped them!!! playing one of them anyway
