Alex and Martin have also worked with The White Stripes, Kylie Minogue, Air, Jane¹s Addiction and Noir Desir.

Thanks Frances!

HOLY CRAP!

It's 2:30pm - Vancouver is 3 hours away... Do I dare even try?? It doesn't say what time they will shoot...

Is anyone else going?

 

[mitcher16]

DO it!!
I am in Calgary and flying in tomorrow morning and am so close to saying screw work and leaving now!! Only an hour flight!!
It would be so awesome to be in one of their videos!

 

[Canadiens1131]

If I was on the other coast I would be there in a flash.

I suppose this is for COBL then?

 

[L03VIk]

If this is gonna be "City of Blinding Lights", they HAVE to do Miracle Drug next. Can´t imagine that not being a single...

 

[one4u2]

I'm in New York

 

[u2girlcj]

I could get there in 2.5 hours from 3pm but I would have to take my 4 year old daughter with. Do you think she'd be allowed in? What if I get there and they're full up or already started?



then I'd have to drive back, explain to my husband why I'm not crazy, cram for my final tomorrow AM, and then drive back up for Friday's show.

And yet I am still SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING THIS.

[u2girlcj]

do you need passport at border yet? I heard they were going to require it soon and I can't find mine.

 

[Yahweh]

I was asked for my passport by the US people when I crossed the border to go to Denver...if you get lucky they might not ask you lol

 

[u2girlcj]

Checked for flights and it makes no difference in time vs. driving.

I really have gone over the deep end now. It's official.

[Judah]

It's five minutes from my office...but, ahh, i'll let the kids go nuts. Wait for the concerts tomorrow and Friday. I wonder if they'll play COBL 10 times and then that's it, or if the fans may get couple other songs...
