U2 3D director Catherine Owens has been chosen to speak at SIGGRAPH 2008, which celebrates the art of computer graphics and interactive technology. The exhibition will take place in Los Angeles this August.

It is noted that Catherine is currently "working on a new body of drawings in her studio, where she is also creating content for the next U2 album and tour campaign."

So all you skeptics that say the 2009 tour isn't gonna happen may want to change your tune...

I like what I'm hearing






I think I'm gonna try to attend this actually....sounds interesting, and i'll be getting closer to the U2 circut

I just hope Catherine is using poster-board (ZooTV, Popmart) this time to come up with concepts instead of construction paper (IE, Arena designs)

If they're doing early designs for the tour, where are Mark Fisher and Willie Williams ?

Didnt Willie Williams part ways with u2 during the Vertigo tour ?

Didnt Willie Williams part ways with u2 during the Vertigo tour ?

During the Euro leg and third leg in N. America he left the tour. But he returned for the remaining legs after those.

Not sure why there are skeptics on a tour next year. I would say its a greater possibility than not.

When I met Ali at an Edun event last fall, she said the band would be touring in '09.

If we truly have an album releasing in fall (and it looks like we just might), I find it hard to believe it wouldn't be supported by a tour in 2009.

And, let's face it, touring is where the real money is at ... and U2 make LOTS of money on their tours.

'09 is divine.

must start saving now for extended tour following.

I believe Willie left the Popmart and other tours early also, for other projects.

I hope they dont do a POPMart and plan the tour before the album is done.

i hope they don't increase ticket prices considerably due to high gas prices jacking up travel costs.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

when I met Brian M. last dec. He also said tour 2009, album this fall.

It's all following the usual pattern, I'm sure there'll be a tour next year.
