It feels so strange that I don't need to pack and travel across the country lol!

There will be light rain, high: 21°, low 14° on monday. we'll see...

Only two nights fellas

What, rain AGAIN?

We're having 34 degrees all the time, why is it always raining in Germany?

I think it has been raining for almost every concert of the tour so far U2 have great luck with their touring weather.

OK, maybe it's good they're closing the roof after all.

We have like 20-25° Silvia !
They said all the time that it'll rain during the week, but it didn't. So I think maybe we are in luck and it won't rain on monday too.

I like those temperatures, I hate it when it's so hot.

But I'm really getting tired of always having rain.

Well maybe you're right and it won't rain after all.

Has something to do with this why they always report rain: Prognosen: Warum Wetter-Vorhersagen derzeit so schwierig sind | ZEIT ONLINE
I'm sure it will stay dry on Monday. Today it's a blue sky and around 25°C. You could think it were summer.... wait, it is summer.
I'm glad we don't have 34°C though.

Planned Flash Mob: Singing All I want is you and holding up sparklers.



I hope no one sets my hair on fire. I hate those sparklers. Even on the Christmas tree

 

[Vincent Vega]

Sparklers on a dry Christmas tree, yeah!

We can try. Maybe it works out. Though I won't buy any sparklers.

Flashmob and U2 concert

that does not work...I was so scared that no one knows the lyrics when Bono let the audience sing the first verse of I still haven't...in berlin. *lol*
there's really no fun when only a few people would sing along.

U2gigs and U2forum.de have new pictures from the arena up, apparently someone went into the arena and took some pictures:

The "tower" isn't up yet, only the claw itself, but the roof is closed and they are using black sheets to make the sound better, just like they did in Amsterdam. Should also make the venue darker when the show starts. GA seems smaller than in most other stadiums, even though the arena for about 73 000 people.

The only thing that pisses me off is that video cube, it won't come down. No problem for GA people, but some people in the stands will have a not so good view because of it and it's ugly hanging there in front of the claw.

 

[achtung_girl]

Really the GA looks smaller? For me it looks the same...anyway, I hope we all get a good spot.


Have a safe journey everyone! See you on monday!

 

[Vincent Vega]

My bag is packed.

^ Mine is, too. I'm off to bed now, see you on Monday
