June 6 & 7, 2010 Anaheim IV: The Party Planning Continues

[No spoken words]

Oh yeah, in Alameda (and in Oakland, for the show) heat is not a problem. It's funny how temperature can differ so wildly over the summer. It can be 105 in CoCo County, and 75 in San Fran.

edit: Proximaty to the ocean is the difference. We get the Delta Breeze here, but it's not the same.

I guess that's akin to the Valley vs the Coastal cities down in LA.

Well, heck, good thing I'm here in Alameda.

And, just a random comment.....good god is it beautiful out here.

sure is! You've got the bay and a view of SF and Oakland. I have the rolling hills and the delta.

Bono tossed the water from his bottle at me during Electric Co. in Chicago. Thank God my reaction didn't make the DVD.

He did that for us in Tampa too

 

[U2FloridaFan]

I know. I am prepared to melt and expect afternoon storms. It will be a messy GA.

Expect storms in Miami too at that time of year...in fact, it's hurricane season...yippee!

 

[martha]

By the way, I've never flown into that airport. Can someone tell me about how planes have to go in at steep angles because of the airspace down there?

The rich people in Newport Beach don't like jet noise. I haven't done it, but family members have and it sounds like it's crazy when they do that.

 

[zuropa_fit]

This was my Australian friend's first trip to the US and we'd just met in person the for the first time ever the night before. She'd never even seen snow before, and then here I was freezing her butt off in a GA line right away. I was convinced she hated me by the end of the concert.

What exactly were you doing to freeze her butt off? I could stand to shed a few lbs. Would you mind sharing the secret?

 

[I Move in Mysterious Ways]

You could go to Portland in late December . . . although that's probably no fun under most circumstances.

I gave my sister GA's to Vertigo in Milwaukee (I couldn't go). When her and her fiance got in line at 9 AM, there was a downpour that that lasted for a while -- and I guess the weather only got moderately better. By the time they were let in, her hair was all damp and kinda frizzy -- she looked rough. She joked with some people standing with her that with her luck, Bono would pull her on stage, so everyone could see how whcked out she looked. He did.

 

[Mr. BAW]

I think we can lay that issue to rest. CPK it is. For me, the no deposit was the deciding factor. 57 days from today I get off the place and into John Wayne. A huge step for roMankind.

They actually arrive at a very normal angle, they take off like this / because the residents of Newport Beach hate noise...nothing like sitting on the runway, the guy revving it up, his foot on the brakes and then peeling out and then up / out and over the Pacific but he levels off as soon as he cuts over the waterline...its all good...

Alameda! I used to live on the Navy base there in the mid-1970's.

So hot weather clothes, cool weather clothes and wet weather clothes are needed? Packing is gonna be so much fun for this trip!

Does the Miami venue have a roof? If not i can imagine some very dramatic shots of lightning striking the claw! I guess that is why they are not playing too many venues in the SE this time round - all that summer humidity makes outdoors pretty rough.

 

[ramblin rose]

No roof. It should be fun.

Every time I hear Alameda, I think of a frustrated Mr. Chekov trying to find the naval base in Alameda, "where they keep the nuclear wessels."

You're funny, Cathal

I gotta remember multi-quote sometime

We DO get an occasional day during the summer where we don't have a thunderstorm (and lots of lightning) but it's rare at that time of year.

Of course, now that most are packing light, it will rain from June 5th to June 7th. Ack.

 

[dsmith2904]

There is always the chance for the June gloom with foggy, cool mornings and showers in the afternoon.

Nerd!

I'm changing my avatar to Chekov looking for wessels . . . just for you.

 

[trojanchick99]

ugh these stories are making me second guess my choice to do GA in hot weather.

I like 5th that the Anaheim weather shouldn't be too bad. Although, the weather lately has been wonky. 85 one day 65 the next. It makes planning wardrobe options very tricky. June 6 and 7 will be rare days that I hope for June gloom.

right, but I am doing GA in Miami.

eek. Bring an umbrella because it WILL rain between 2 and 4pm. I'm getting sweaty just thinking about the humidity.

To me, that's cool. Where I live right now, June is 90-95.

I grew up in the Central Valley, so moving to LA was a vacay. It's awesome not needing AC in the summer.

:shudder: I refuse to fly out of Burbank because of their takeoff and landing angles. That and they have a freaking gas station at the end of there short-ish runway. I choose the ickiness that is LAX over that.

God I loved that freaking movie growing up. U2 nerds unite!

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

wow you know how to use the quote feature!

The weather has been wacky here in Atlanta. We have had all 4 season this past week. I am used to humidity especially since I live in Georgia. I know storms move in and out of Florida frequently in the summer especially in South Florida. I think I will hang out at the condo until a few hours before the show starts then head over to the stadium. I anticipate NJ will be equally uncomfortable in regards to humid conditions.

 

[lauramullen]

Rain won't bother me. I did GA 3 times in Dublin last summer.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

sadly it bothers me and usually results in me developing flu like symptoms.

 

[lauramullen]

It might bother my allergies a little, but some Claritan can clear that up.
