X-mas gift from me to you, an invitation

[MissZooropa]

So, I was gonna wait til everything was definatly set, in stone, but the talks and rumors are to intense to wait.
I've been thinking about this for a while and I would like to invite you all to an official PLEBA meeting, convention, get together, here in Gothenburg, Sweden around the date July 23rd (when U2 is playing here, most likely)
My home is open for as many as possible and I'm willing to help out finding hotel, hostels or what your desire of accomodation are. I'm also willing to arrange transportation, public or if we rent, cars, van, depending on how many, if you want to go to the rumored show in Oslo, Norway (about 350km from Gothenburg) too.
And tickets will not be a problem either I'll help you out and other friends that I have are too.

I know some of you already have serious plans of coming here (CatDubh, ZooGrl....) but this is an invitation for all of you PLEBA girls to come here.

WELCOME

MissZooropa, you rock! My friend and I have seriously been contemplating seeing another U2 concert next summer, if there was any chance at all. I have been to Sweden once before, and had a marvelous time. Your offer is wonderfully kind, and if I should end up going, I'd love to meet you and anyone else crazy enough to come along!

That's really sweet of you MissZooropa! Wow. Now have a tough choice. I am WAAAAAAY too in debt to be thinking about going to Europe, but I just can't help myself. If I DO go, I SHOULD be going to Holland and seeing/staying with my relatives. And another U2 friend wants me to meet her in Paris! And now you! What to do? AAAHHH!

[spinninghead77]

I really, really want to come. I want to meet all the Pleba girls and see U2, but unfortunatly I am going to be moving out of my parents house, and into an apartment with my boyfriend soon. I can't afford a trip anywhere!!!

Thanks for the invite though. I am sure that you girls will have a blast. I can't wait to see all the pics!!!

 

[MissZooropa]

Hmm... seems like I'll be alone anyway.

I wanted to give you the invitation this early so you got time to plan and save up some money. Wish a trip for birthdaypresent or something. I would love to see more then myself from PLEBA at the front row.

At least you can have it in mind, IF you happens to win the lottery or something.

I'll bump the thread if it disappears so everyone gets to see it. You are all more then welcome and I'll help you out with most stuff.

And Mrs Edge, Holland and Sweden isn't far away at all. I'm planning myself to go to Holland if they will perform there. It's a few hours (10 to holland and 14 to paris, app) by car and so is Paris. If you by a special train ticket you can travel as much as you like within europe for a month for about US$200. That's what I'm planning, depending on how many that comes here.

1. You have to provide yer own duct tape and bubble wrap. I'll pretend it's Bono bubble pants.

2. No one in my FAMILY likes to come into my room unless it's to take dishes (*hoard*) or tell me to stop eating the candy canes because I always have U2 playing or some sort of U2-rleated activity goin' down in there.

My dad opens my door a crack and talks through the crack, I think because he's intimidated by the U2 obsession.

LMAO... Larry is my Mom's favorite.. she loves the man, but I haven't told her he's 40 yet. I don't think she could live w/ it.

And yesterday in the paper there was a bit about Bono being named European of the Year, and my grandmother told me when she read it cause she knew I love U2 (even though I already knew for a while)....
My U2 obsession isn't so secret anymore!

I don't keep my obsession a secret. But I don't let anyone know the real extent of it. I think that if my family and friends knew that I spent the whole day posting on here, that they would carry me off to the loony bin!!!

It's not really a secret cause everyone in my immediate family loves U2, but only my sister knows how much more obsessed I am than anyone else in my family... but it does take a lot to live up to the title of "Crazy U2 Girl" (which I'm becoming known as by a few of my friends...) So I tell them it's better being crazy for U2 than being crazy fot a lot of other things!

Katie: Okay, that was the video for Discotheque, and that was only 4 years ago.... you were 11!

Nick: Ah well, I always thought they were gay....

Katie: I don't care what you think.... think what you want, I still love them *in her head: adding Nick to her hit list*

Nick: Well, that's why you're the crazy U2 girl...
