gabriel - thanks for info on the ETS ticket/wristband issue. while i doubt we'll be lucky enough to have a wristband system in cleveland, that does make me much less worried.

From the look of extended weather forecast, it's going to take more than a dance.

I would take the 20's and snow over that crappy rain/snow mix! Still, if I was not bogged down by demanding family I would be in that line at 6am- sleep deprived from Buffalo.
Every morning I come into work and check this thread to avoid what I am supposed to be doing- what will I do when the show is over?!?!

Well, I didn't tape them, so who knows
I am not what you would call a camper... In Pittsburgh the tent had JUST started to leak through the walls (actually it wasnt so much a leak, it was just that if you touched the walls, you'd end up SOAKED). Still, not bad for a $30.00 tent that has seen me through Dublin, Pittsburgh and Atlanta.
The plan is to wrap the tent in some of those body heat blankets anyway, so I may not need the watersealer after all
Oooh, and because I am sure you were all dying to know, my Christmas Tree did go up
Just need to find the skirt thingy...

The tape is usually factory applied. It doesn't matter how much you spend on a tent, any tent will leak through if there's water on the outside of it and you touch the wall. Normally on a tent, the fly (the pink part on yours) covers most of the tent and it's to be set up so that the tent doesn't come in contact with the fly. If there's water on the outside of the fly, and it comes in contact with the tent, it will leak through to the outside of the tent, then when you touch the tent in that spot, it will leak through to the inside. I know...more than you wanted to know.
My eyes started to roll to the back of my head about half way through the paragraph. Then I started to get a headache! City girl through and through 
Thanks muchly though
I'll pass on the water sealer then
And it is not a pink tent! It's vertigo colors!

Nice tree! However, I think you should make ornaments out of the pics of you with Bono to hang on it

Are you bring tents for GA even tho cant camp overnight? just to keep dry-ish during the day?
Miroslava said:
How crazy (and annoying to others!) would that be...
OMG If I had the pictures that you have, I would TOTALLY do that.
So, back to camping, assuming if we are coming earlier than 6AM on Sarturday, we have to camp "off" the arena property? Hope there is an area which will work for this?

I bought some hand and foot warmer thingies at Walmart a couple weeks ago, only $1.99 a pack.

Am wondering if there is any way we can "very nicely" be squeaky wheels and encourage, whine, beg CLE to go the wristband route. I don't think they realize that we will literally, honestly be out there in the freezing rain (!!) ALL freaking day...it would behoove them to do wristbands to keep people from requiring medical assistance! And from looking like meanies on the evening news by making people stand outside all day
We could write a very nice letter to this effect and everyone could email the nice people...it works from MoveOn and others, why not us?

My honest opinion? Let's let it go. I have yet to see any venue change their mind. If anything, the repeated calls/letters/emails etc. have made them more annoyed than anything. After all, here are these punks telling them how to do their jobs. They've made up their minds, and they're not going to change it. From their point of view, no one is making us "suffer", we're doing it willingly, so 
They've already heard from quite a few people and have been provided with examples of what other venues have done. Not much more we can do at this point other than turn ourselves into pests.
Not trying to be negative or anything, it's just that through the whole tour, I have yet to see any of this make a difference. We can be thankful that at least some venues have taken us crazies into consideration, and in doing so have made their jobs easier

I agree. Wish they could all be like the United Center...

What Miroslava just said, a reasonable attitude. After all, these guys go thru this god knows how many times a year for different artists passing through. Yes U2 fans are the best etc etc., but in the end they have to have some sort of general policy....and in the end it all usually works out anyways...

Whatever the day turns out like, we will make the best of it and enjoy the company of other U2 fans...and the concert will make it all worthwhile. On the other hand I'm still pissed about having to drive to W. 45th & Detroit to get our tickets.

I drive a little 2-seat roadster so that wont help any, but I guess I could drive Ed's big Chrysler, I could probably fit 5 others in to make the trip.

As long as not single digits as in 8 degrees! I havent lived in Cleveland since 1978, and I was an east sider - I cant say Ive ever been in the 45th & detroit neighborhood. Can we go down Superior and over a bridge, or do we have to go down to the shoreway?
