I work in the computer section of our campus bookstore, and today we set up an iPod/iTunes display outside of the store, to promote these products for the holiday season. Lots of heavy student traffic around the time I was stationed at it. I had loaded HTDAAB onto a few of our display computers back when it leaked, and we brought one of them out to showcase iTunes. So, naturally, I turned the speakers up and blasted it! It got some positive reactions and questions, like "Is this U2's new album? Is it out yet? Where can I buy it?"
The last question was particularly easy to answer:
"Uh...a music store here in town?"
But yeah - it was good times. I like promoting our guys. It's fun.
How about the rest of you - any stories to share about how you've gotten the album out there into the public ear? Played it for your friends, played it for your family, or maybe even complete strangers? What were the reactions?
Anyway - I'm off to the Target in the neighboring town to pick up my 29.99 copy of The Collector's Edition!

P.S. - The discarded versions of the HTDAAB songs are really interesting. I don't think they're 'better,' and I can see why Adam and Larry were taking issue, but they're definitely worth listening to. 'SYCMIOYO' sounds a bit like 'Two Shots of Happy, One Shot of Sad.' At least I got that vibe.
(And no, I don't have them. Listened to gorman's steam!)
