So what is everyone going to do for their presale ritual...I'm going to watch the Boston DVD. It may work me up so much i stab myself in the eye or it will be soothing. Either way, I doubt I'm sleeping. Ooooohhhhmmmmmm.

 

[pax]

I'm going to drink 8 million cups of coffee and hide from everyone at work.

 

[pax]

Speaking of which...it's time for pax to hit the hay.



Be good, kids. Don't do anything I'd do.

That sounds like me except I have one extra step...pace around the house like a maniac. I hope to make it through the night...

Watch two U2 concerts on tape or DVD!

 

[nurse chrissi]

listen to as much live u2 as possible
try and do nothing of any real value such as pay bills (who can do that when u2 is touring? ) function as a normal member of society etc.

I MIGHT BE GETTING A PRESALE CODE!!

A guy my mom works with who is also my boss bought a membership to go to Montreal. Well the boys aren't playing in Montreal on this leg and so if he doesn't decide to go somewhere else (unlikely) that means he won't be using it! And that means he'd likely give it to me if I ask him, so's I can get GA in Philadelphia!

Of course, all this hinges on me getting up at 7 am, getting my mom's credit card to pay for the ticket, calling this guy up, getting him where he has computer access to get his code, hoping that he hasn't decided to go to some other show instead, and getting the code and getting to a computer by 10 am to buy my ticket.

This is nerve-wracking, I can't even sleep.

 

[Tania]

Hey all!

I really don't like SpongeBob Square Pants!

Great news Dave, all the best to get your tickets.

 

[ewen]

good luck on that!

 

[starsgoblue]

I'm watching the Boston DVD now...and getting ridciulously giddy--I wish I had someone here to share the excitement!

 

[ewen]

hi Tania

didn't see you there.

 

[ewen]

hi Rebekah

i'm here too

 

[starsgoblue]

Hi Ewen. I'm running in and out between here and the DVD...I get too anxious and giddy no matter where I go.

(runs back out to watch Bad )

 

[ewen]

Bad and then onto Streets - best part of the DVD aswell as The Fly and With or Without You. For me at least. I'm going to stick on Slane.

 

[ewen]

less than two hours to go.

no stressing now Rebekah....have comfort in knowing that we Europeans are the guinea pigs on this system! lol they'll have five hours to get it fixed for you if things go belly-up for us.

 

[ewen]

with just over an hour and a half to go I've just freaked myself out with the image of a nightmare scenario.....my internet connection failing!!!

 

[starsgoblue]

You've got half an hour now right?

 

[ewen]

an hour and a half...


if my internet connection fails, this computer is getting thrown out of the window!! and i live on a third floor apartment.

 

[starsgoblue]

I'll fly over just to drop kick the thing....it's been behaving though right?
