Thanks for the update!

Looks like Minne is the pick up date.

October or 2011 it is.

Twitter, for the time being. Apparently crew members in SLC driving the trucks are saying this. I also heard there'll be another announcement later today.

So yeah, just rumors for now.

 

[lemon_drop]

ok doke. wow. Gonna be interesting, the mind is going places it shouldn't be going right now.
I'm focusing on our B man, that his recovery is going well, that he is pain-free as possible. I know how neurosurgery is, and how painful it can be, as I have been in Neuro ICU for two days, step down for five days..
I wish him the very, very best. I know he is getting the best of care.. but I also know that it's a tough road.
I just want to wrap up a big gentle hug and send it to him! I know, I know it sounds crazy.

Twitter is saying lots of things. Announcement today, announcement Monday...maybe we're all being punk'd? Who knows at this point.

 

[corianderstem]

Damn.

Just talked to my friends who I am traveling with to Seattle and we're still going to go anyway. It costs as much to change my ticket as the ticket actually cost.

If the show gets postponed someone needs to organize a party of something. ZS might get a huge audience with void that will be left.

*checks calendar* No, unfortunately it's not April 1st...

I would encourage all of you to let ZS know this on Facebook. Encourage them to come anyway, I have a feeling all of us will need it.

Hmm, I can't write on their wall. I'll make my pleas in the thread on this site.

 

[Mr. BAW]

I've already canceled our flight and the hotel...Note *we were booked to arrive in Seattle on 6/18 thru -6/21...I pulled my hotel reservation at the Silver Cloud, I had booked us to arrive on 6/19!!!! I spoke with the clerk and he said that they were full, "you could have slept in the lobby!"

 

[corianderstem]

You didn't want to wait to hear for sure?

 

[Mr. BAW]

Knowing that type of surgery and having prior back problems, not confident that Seattle will go off until next year...but we'll be there.

 

[corianderstem]

Well, poop.

I'm sure I'll still be here next year, so eventually we WILL meet.

 

[DRay9911]

i called southwest and alaska on friday for info if i don't make the flights.

but i'll wait until it's official to cancel all the hotel reservations.

hope they just rip the band aid off and do it today

 

[vjacqb]

I know I'd lose at least $15 from the motel reservation I did in Mount Rainier area.

I used United miles for some legs of my trip, and paid for a one-way from SFO-SEA. I have to ask United about their policy on mileage refund and that one-way flight to see what fees I'd have to pay if I canceled it.

Yeah, I wish we could hear something about the tour today.

 

[Mr. BAW]

Two Mariners vs. Reds tickets for free, that may be the only thing going on that weekend!

 

[DRay9911]

speaking of

guess i'm glad i kept forgetting to buy my ticket for the ballgame

 

[corianderstem]

I'm actually more bummed about the possibility of not meeting all youse guys than about the show being postponed.

Assuming Minneapolis is postponed, I'm more bummed about that show in particular, as I was sooo looking forward to taking my parents and showing off "my band."

 

[vjacqb]

are you offering? I might take one.

 

[corianderstem]

Are you still planning on coming to Seattle, show or no show, vjacqb?

[corianderstem]

I can still take them whenever the rescheduled show would be, but ... but .... I WANNA DO IT NOW!

[vjacqb]

Are you still planning on coming to Seattle, show or no show, vjacqb?

Most likely I'll still come. Because I hate losing money from the reservations etc, even though it may not be that much. I planned some other activities aside from U2, so II still have something to look forward to even with the concert cancellation.

 

[corianderstem]

Groovy!

 

[vjacqb]

I figured it's the least I can do after asking you so many questions on where is this, how do I get there, where does the light rail go, what else is there to do in the city

 

[corianderstem]

It's okay. I've enjoyed playing semi-hostess.

I'll even go so far as to admit that I wished I had an actual house instead of an apartment, so I could have had a little party or something for all the U2 friends.

Oh well.

 

[Mr. BAW]

are you offering? I might take one.

They're ticketfast but they're mine. I'll give you both next week!

just cancelled my reservation at the silver surfer
