comet, the knife set is up right now!! Just started - 7500 so far!

Just to continue the bootleg discussion - back at ITH 2005 I won a dvd of Elevation Barcelona (Edge's birthday). It's a great dvd, but it's heartbreaking to hear Bono dedicating Kite to his father "who is very ill" knowing that only a few weeks later he'll be mourning Bob's passing...

YES!! That's the attitude we're going for, here.

I thought of that too, but like I think I've mentioned before, Bono and I have some issues

so it's all good.

Tentative itinerary is to fly into Cork, spend a day there to acclimate (I don't think I spelled that right), drive to Dingle, spend a few days in that area, then up to Galway to spend a handful of days in and around (Aran Islands, all the other stuff to see there), and then ditch the car and hop the train to Dublin to close out the trip there, seeing the sights and taking a couple of day trips (up to newgrange, down to wicklow) before flying home.

I've gotten loads of helpful tips and info from people all over the net, including here. Researching has been so fun.

That sounds sooo good.

I have a plan for saving between now and then, but the way things are going (i.e., I SUCK at saving money), I'll probably end up charging more than I care to admit with the trip. :reject :

So hey, what the hell, why not use some of that money for another U2 concert? :whistle :

Yeah why not?

Dude, if I win the lottery, I'm going to all the damned shows. (Then I'll write a book about it and really live my dream!)

And drinks will be on me.

I loved the RSC version they did back in 1988, the one BEdge done the music for

I repeat this sentiment for if I win the lottery aswell.

Though Don;t get your hopes up everyone, I never even win £10.

Yep Cathal is currently living the dream. Well partly ( apart from the lottery part

)

I'm finally hoping to get a copy of his book in Athens.

VintagePunk · 08-21-2010, 06:26 PM

comet, 7500 was the final bid on the knife set. Wow, this thing is moving fast. Sarah's busy in the kitchen and put her laptop next to me so I can shout out bids to her.

Can you actually see them from right there? Is the stage not as high as I'm thinking it is?

I've done front row, and yes you can see them - but I don't know if I'd recommend it for someone a great deal shorter than me... How tall are you again? The stage *is* fairly high, but that allows for the bridges to be able to go over peoples' heads in the crowd

You may want to ask Jem about her outer rail experience - she's fairly tiny compared to me and she should have some opinions on how it was

He signed mine before I met him so it was nothing personal or anything

I just looked - he even spelled my name wrong

I could see Larry, but then again TO1 I was second row up front between Bono and Adam, and TO2 I was front row just past Adam (granted I had a better view of Larry the second night, as I didn't have a Claw light in my eyes from time to time

) - and I'm 5'9", 5'10" on a good day
