Oct 23rd - Las Vegas - General Discussion & Gathering Thread V

But I highly suggest it for anyone that wants to get to know their own religious beliefs a little bit better, quite fast.

Ethan, Nic...you up for Primm's "Desperado" rollercoaster at State line?

Sure. If it's the one I'm thinking of, you can help me look for my prescription sunglasses that I lost while riding it during the mid-90's.

LOVE the giant drinks in Vegas. Especially the ones that are so big they come with shoulder straps just to carry the damn thing. Last time I was there, they were selling a giant drink that came in a life sized guitar shaped container. That might have to happen for u2 weekend. I'll drink from my guitar container and sing ISHFWILF

Oh god. If I have half of one of those I'll end up under a table somewhere

Damn Bono GAVE him the glasses?? I thought he just let them borrow them for the song.

He did. I watched a clip on youtube. Lucky kid!

I thought maybe after a shot or two, but that video confirms that no amount of alcohol could get me on that thing!

[nicv]

^that tripped me out it looked like you were going off the track....

That one actually looked like fun.

 

[kafrun]

Yay! Good news for you Romi! Nice to know before you leave on your trip.

It's a hanging one, so the seats are hanging from the top of the track, and your feet are dangling.

Those are the best ones

 

[nicv]

^Cool pic. Never have been on one of those.

The audio on this sounds like the Goodfellas left the Casino to take a ride on the coaster.

Wow.

 

[RedRocksU2]

[nicv]

^^lol, I don't think I've heard oh s*@! said so many times in a 60 second period.

Hey, anyone up for making some Unknown Caller group videos at the gathering?

'Shout it out...'15 October 2009
Unknown Caller is a song that insists you join in... now you can. The band's production team are aiming to create a 'global chorus' of people singing the track. Sing up - and send us your video clip.

Here's how it works. Choose a section of the song (see below) - or choose them all - set up your camera and start singing. Might be solo. Might be with your friends. Might be an entire choir. Shoot the clip and then email it to us at unknowncallervideo@u2.com. (If the file is over 10megs, post it in Zootopia instead.)

Here's what to do.

EMAIL
Email your video as either a .mov or an file to unknowncallervideo@u2.com and make sure it is no larger than 10 megs. If it is larger than this then follow the directions below.

POST
To post your clip in Zootopia - our U2.com community area make sure you add a tag when you post it, starting with the word 'chorus' - for example, 'Chorus Delhi' or 'Chorus Cardiff'.

Choose one of these sections to sing ... or all of them :

Go, shout it out, rise up
Oh, oh
Escape yourself, and gravity
Hear me, cease to speak that I may speak
Shush now
Oh, oh
Force quit and move to trash

Restart and re-boot yourself
You're free to go
Oh, oh
Shout for joy if you get the chance
Password, you, enter here, right now

Oh, oh
You know your name so punch it in
Hear me, cease to speak that I may speak
Shush now
Oh, oh
Then don't move or say a thing


When you submit your 'Chorus' clip to us, you're giving the team permission to use it in the way their artistic muse dictates - free and gratis - wherever! Who knows where it could end up... )

No more rollercoaster pics, k?

[DRay9911]
