I'm glad we're U2 fans. We could have been born in another time and never come across such a sound. U2's a band the whole world should listen to. A band that actually has the potential to change the world or at least change me.


Just hit me again while listening to "Unknown Caller", we're all actually going to be in Dublin watching U2 3 different nights. Kind of Amazing when you just think about it calmly. While this little world is spinning at 500 miles per hour, shooting around the sun at over 20,000 miles per hour, in a galaxy spinning at 250,000 miles per hour, and this galaxy is shooting through intersteller space to a place unknown, We'll be standing. While somewhere in space there's a star in it's death throes becoming a beautiful Nova, a black hole pulling matter into the unknown, a strong southeast wind on Mars, and another intelligent life watching their favourite band starring back and wondering if we're watching ours, We'll be standing, amongst 90,000 other humans like ourselves listening to the #1 band on Earth. And while there may be others in the world hurting somehow while we're there, we'll have grabbed light for a brief moment of our lives to carry with us .....perhaps..... to give to another.

This is BIG. When you think about it.

Wow. I LOVE this. It's amazing when you put it like that. xx

More Information Required (please)

Is there a really good book store in Dublin somewhere with all the latest titles? I'm an addict reader and books in Europe always have cool covers.

I'd go with Hodges Figgis. Eason's only stocks best seller titles, Chapters is a little less comprehensive, but Hodges Figgis on Dawson Street is great.

 

[PookaMacP]

To my Fellow Croke Cranks. Does this seem accurate?

From the original diagram there didn't appear to be that many tickets for sale on the Hill (the part behind the stage at the far end) and the claw seems to take up a bit too much of the pitch. But if it turns out to be anything like that then we're in for a treat.

 

[Carek1230]

^I just thought of Where's Waldo when looking at that photo!

 

[lauramullen]

Me too

 

[Carek1230]

I used to sit with those Where's Waldo books for hours on end when my son was little. I think he was even Waldo for Halloween one year.

 

[lauramullen]

I used to have them when I was a kid. You also had to find other things too

Oh how I wish I could purchase these.

 

[wojovox]

This room is so easily distracted


and gvox, go to ebay!

 

[Galeongirl]

I don't think he should go to ebay right away. It's nicer of him to offer it to us here first.

So,





Is it July yet?

Did the Hill even go on sale at all?

Having them and not being able to go is a far worse feeling, believe me! Seeing that picture is making me

and gvox, go to ebay!

Yeah I guess I will go there eventually if they don't sell...but then I have to charge more because of ebay fees and whatnot.

2 gone, 4 left to sell..
