I don't shave at the weekend if I can help it!!

(Excuse the crappy camera I'm stuck with )

 

[U2democrat]

I can understand why you're - I've never been to the US, but I imagine that some things are quite different from here...

So how long are you staying over here - are you going to see some of the European U2 concerts?


... und sprechen sie Deutch jetzt?

Hi Alan... Nice pic...

 

[U2democrat]

Well my german teacher is also obsessed with U2 so if they were playing where we were that night i can imagine he and i would probably sneak away from the tour group to go see them. (and i'm actually serious about that)

Und ja, ich spreche ein bisschen.

[u2bonogirl]

hey bar flies! Im in and out. Got stuff to do today
Doing domestic house stuff and then getting a tattoo
I just came to see if that hottie bartender is in here anywhere.
I think he's being a charitable gentleman and helping somebody move
I'll have to see if he's here tonight

 

[U2democrat]

be sure to take a pic of your tatoo and post it!!!!!

 

[ewen]

* wanders into bar *

geez it's dead

* gets a Guinness and some nuts, throws on some random U2 songs on the jukebox, goes and sits down *

bah, nobody to tell about my movie role!

 

[U2democrat]

your movie role? did i miss something?

 

[u2bonogirl]

be sure to take a pic of your tatoo and post it!!!!!

cant find the digital
I'll have to ask my daddio where it is. I think he hid it from me
its really dead in here today.......
sheesh people
doesnt anybody drink in the middle of the day anymore?

 

[U2democrat]

damn wake forest. damn them damn them!!!!!!!!!!

the tarheels don't even look like themselves.

i need something strong!

 

[ewen]

I should of said 'film role' more than 'movie role'....movie role makes it sound like Hollywood! just an arty-farty film made here in Edinburgh. I showed interest in the production side and said if there's an acting role i'd be interested, so I had a 'screen test' yesterday, even though the role is definately mine. I'll be one of the three main characters of the first part of the film. I got told that I will have to be 'uglied down' for the part....I took that as a compliment! lol Should be exciting, looking forward to it.

 

[U2democrat]

you'll have to keep us updated! our very own star!

 

[u2bonogirl]

hey! thats really cool ewen
did I ever tell you I was a childhood star where I live
i was in a PBS show about which came first: the chicken or the egg

superb, what's 'PBS'? An American kids' tv channel?

So you must definately have a recording of it somewhere to share with the rest at Octagon yes?

 

[U2democrat]

PBS-public broadcasting station. its funded by the public, which means no ads. . it has shows for a broad range of audiences, from sesame street to masterpiece theater.

 

[u2bonogirl]

heres the addition to the u2 tattoo. u2 is on the other side with angels praying over them
ouch! it hurt though
I have no recording to share with the octagon ewen sorry.
I think I have me playing the queen of hearts in alice in wonderland somewhere though
