Okay, PLEBA gals (and guys)! We on chat have been talking and decided it was high time to have a PLEBA convention. And what better place for a convention than a city U2 loves, right in the middle of the USA? In fact, Bono once said that they wanted to play there every Monday night! (This was before he said it in at least 2 other cities. Shut up.)

Gina (Hallelujah Here She Comes) lives in Chicago, and I live very close to it. So I (and probably Gina) would be happy to scope out locations, try to organize stuff, etc. But we need to know who wants to come!

Right now we are thinking that July, perhaps late July, would work best for a variety of reasons. (For instance, no school for PLEBA students.) Depending on how many people want to come, we can look at what kind of places we might want to use for a get-together. Field trips will definitely be involved.

For instance, I know of a museum that may be able to put up a U2 exhibit for us! We can go to the Shedd Aquarium, because it rocks, although it has absolutely nothing to do with U2! We could go to the United Center and form a GA line to freak out security! Extreme merriment will ensue, no matter what! Chicago won't know what hit it, ladies.

Okay, we really want to make this happen. But we need feedback. So, discuss please!

Bono: Hey PLEBA people! We're here posing on stage in Chicago, and we really think you should all come visit us here!

Edge: Um, Bono ... we probably won't be there...

Bono: Shut up. We're gonna play here every Monday night!

Larry: All of those PLEBA ladies in one place ... just knowing they're all congregating makes me a bit nervous.

Adam: I want to see how many of them have my pants.

Oh sugar, don't you cry
Oh child, wipe the tears from your eyes
You know I need you to be strong
And the day is as dark as the night is long
Feel like trash, you make me feel clean
I'm in the black, can't see or be seen
 
Thats my Birthday! (July 31 anyway) And I can try to get Danno's elevation band there that week--they play there alot! They're good too! Just set a date and a hotel or place and I'll clear my U2002 calendar! (This may be scary...all those Pleba girls in one place at once!) Look out Chicago!
 
I'm so there! Which I said in chat, but YEAH.
if we get all of PLEBA in one room, I think innuendo would not streak through the room, it would be put on a pedestal and hoisted high for all to see...

Gina: WOOHOO!
 
Will try to fly back from ireland just for you guys

Hey you never know, I may bring some kidnapped members with me :p

Long live the lemon!!!
 
I live not very far from Chicago, but I'm taking some classes this summer so I can graduate sooner, and I have other plans.

It's a good idea though.

Damn. Be sure to go to the Chicago Peace Museum so you can see Bono's poem there

Super yay! Keep the responses coming, everyone. All y'all who don't live near Chicago ... this could be a great excuse for a trip!

Discoboos, Elevation Air, pick your mode of transport.

And I would LOVE to plan it for sometime when Elevation was doing a show! I've been wanting to go see them ever since their first gig in Chicago (although I did talk to Danno on the phone afterward courtesy of Gina

)

Marina, I don't think anybody would object to kidnapped band members.

That way, not only innuendo, but also Adam could streak through the room.

sucks.



SO?????? You don't live anywhere near Vegas or Slane but that didn't stop you from hauling your ass there to see U2, now did it?

I don't imagine that this little gathering will be QUITE as big of a draw as our boys performing, but c'mon! You could take a little vacation from Pantsburg to come visit us!

Seriously, if you can't, you can't. But it would be LOVELY to see you.

GAH! why so harsh? lol...anyhoo if you all are able to pull this off i hope i am able to make it. it all depends on work. my two cents would be to have this gathering on a weekend, that way i can come.
biggrin.gif

Yes, that would be my preference as well
smile.gif
 
Weekends = good.

I think we're going to come up with a couple of alternate weekends and see how many people think they could make each. Then we'll decide on the exact date.

Woooohooo!

Just tell me when and where and I'm ready to book my flight. I guess I left chat too early last night and missed this but I think it's a great idea. I've never been to Chicago and I would LOOOVE to meet my PLEBA sistahs!
 
*hippy makes an appearance*

Well, I still have no idea when or where I'm working this summer...but it just might be possible for me to come to Chicago...I would love to road trip and maybe pick up anyone who needs a ride along the way (from south FL to Chicago).
biggrin.gif
This would be SO cool!

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
 
AHERM.
I have an announcement.
Those of you who chat regularly might be noticing someone named U2babyface 9 in there a lot?
Her name is Laura, she's a newbie, she can't post yet but wants to come to the convention. She asked me to post that for ye
smile.gif

Um, when she does show up she'll be stories for boys, I thinky
I will vouch for her coolness, she's been lurkin' for a long time and knows all the pleabrew and is not ignorant and stupid.
So there you go.

Well I mean it's not that hard....all I gotta do is give Bono some red wine, steal one Larry's harley...hmm that might not work 10 hrs. in a sardine can with snarly and angry Larry = suicide any ideas? Adam, well I guess all I need to do is tell him that there will be plenty of ladies that worship him, he'll volunteer for the kidnapping. Edge hmm Edge...oh I'll tell him it's a physics convention.

There ladies we have 4 more coming Gina make sure we have a cell to keep them in so they don't run away.
