    Have 2GAs for Chicago 2 (May 23) - Want 2GAs for Nashville

    I know there are several looking for Chicago GAs, but I'd rather not sell these until I know I've got Nashville. I can make either show, but much prefer Nashville. So a straight trade would be ideal.

    GA available for Chicago 1

    My group of friends has either 2 or 3 GA's available for Chicago 1 - June 3rd. My preference is for them to go to an Interferencer who needs them.

    U2 Marathon - literally

    I'm training for a marathon this spring, and I've been considering the idea of running it with an ipod loaded with nothing but U2, with songs chosen to play at specific parts of the route (I'll have a pretty good idea of what pace I'll be running). Anybody ever try anything like that before...

    People Get Ready

    I was just listening to the Chambers Brothers' Greatest Hits, which has their version of Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready." My first introduction to this song was through U2 bootlegs, and I've enjoyed hearing the way others play it. I had never paid particularly close attention to the...

    Not Me for President

    I would never, ever, under any circumstances, want to be President of the United States. People think you have done and can do way more than is possible. Yes, you get credit for good things that happen, whether you caused them or not, but you get blamed for negative things under the same...

    Someone to blame! - the smallest of all possible worlds

    Like someone to blame, I noticed you're from Skowhegan, and your name is Rob. Did your parents have a giant black poodle when you were a kid?
