Shuttlecock XXV: Praying for Bono's Ball Circulation

[No spoken words]

I must have missed this part. Are you starting a new job? Or is it the same job being relocated?

Take a peek at my most recent blog entry, if you have a moment.

I can't believe this shit is only a week away

More like 3 days. You and your Canadian time.

Cut it out, Elfa.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

nice Dave Coulier reference

 

[u2popmofo]

Isn't he one of "your kind"?

I haven't been to the blogs in ages. That was probably my first comment over there in a year.

Sounds exciting, man. I hope everything works out for you. Even if you are a Yankees fan.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Isn't he one of "your kind"?

nope, he belongs to you guys.

 

[LMP]

I don't think anyone wants to claim ownership of Dave Coulier. Not even Alanis Morrisette. Isn't that ironic?

 

[corianderstem]

Don't you think?

 

[Dalton]

So I just had some stuff come up and I'm not going to be able to be in line right away on Sunday for the show. My friends are. Am I going to have any problem joining them in line?

 

[corianderstem]

Bono will have a problem with that and will beat you to a bloody pulp.

 

[Dalton]

Seriously though, I've run into a few line ogres at previous shows. I should just tell them to fuck off, right?

In my personal opinion, there are few things I find more aggravating than standing in line for hours and hours, only to see some random person who just barely showed up walk up to where his friends are in front of you and jump right in. It's much more frustrating when it's a group of people though.

Tell your friends to maybe tell the people right behind them that they have one person who may show up late, so you're at least not pissing those people off. If not, just get in the back of the line and then call your friends when they get in and try to push over to where they are once you get inside.

 

[corianderstem]

I agree with what Mr. Mofo said about that whole thing, but if I remember correctly, Dalton's a little more "fuck off" about the whole thing. You're going to do what you're going to do, but don't expect everyone to be all sunshine and puppies about it.

Honestly, I didn't realize it was a serious question - I thought it was another one of those joke questions we've been throwing around about Chicago.

 

[No spoken words]

I thought it was a joke, too.

Honestly, Dalton, since you're asking, it usually is not a well received move.

 

[corianderstem]

I wouldn't do it myself, and I don't think it's fair to do something like that, but on the other hand I know people are going to do it, and to me it's not worth getting too bothered over, because it's just extra stress in an already-stressful situation (at least for me - GA stresses me out a little bit).

 

[joyfulgirl]

I sure as hell wouldn't do it. I would actually feel like a huge piece of shit if I did that but then again, I am one of those really lame people who actually cares how my behavior affects other people.

 

[No spoken words]

But you'll get bothered over it anyway, cos things like bringing a small camera in bother you, even though you know that it won't be an issue.

I'd never do it either, and when someone tried to do it right behind us in Barcelona, the people behind that group reacted angrily, and eventually the guy went to the back of the line. However, once inside he douched his way to where his friend ended up anyway.

I know. I'd probably sit and stew about it in a passive-aggressive fashion.

My Ray-Bans would be hiding a really nasty look in the direction of the offender.

 

[u2popmofo]

I printed my flight and hotel info. Even I am somewhat prepared for the trip now, which means this must be REALLY close.

By the way.......IT'S NOT A HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL IT'S A MOUTAIIINNNN

 

[Dalton]

Excellent. These responses have helped me plan.

 

[corianderstem]

I would like to state for the record* that I am far less annoying in person than I often come across as being online.










*by "for the record," I mean "for NSW's benefit"

 

[Diemen]

Orbitz sent me a "it's almost time for your flight" email, which is good, because I'd totally forgotten about this weekend.

 

[u2popmofo]

Orbitz sent me a "it's almost time for your flight" email

That was the entire reason I printed the info off.

I can vouch for this. I mean, yeah, sometimes I wish you'd just shut up online, but in person you're actually not bad!
