Obviously, it's a bit different to hold a spot for a few hours in the morning as opposed to most of the day, but it's more the principle of the thing for me.
I bet u2beal999 is sorry she said anything.
Yo! I'm u2beal999's buddy who she mentioned was coming late and now I feel SUPER FREAKING GUILTY ABOUT IT.
I totally get it though, if I was standing in line, for hours, or all day, whichever, I'd be super annoyed if someone cut in front of me.
That being the case, I'm still not 100% interested in getting into some line at the crack of dawn, but I do plan on getting there by 7, which as far as I know is when Qwest is allowing the line to start? I can't make it out the night before, so I really hope the numbering doesn't happen then, that seems kind of out of whack, but what do I know? This is my first U2 GA experience, so is that something that normally happens?
Anyway, thought I'd just give a shout out to y'all. Hope I don't piss too many of you off on Saturday.
I think you'd be better off not telling people that you're planning to cut in line just because you're "not interested" in lining up earlier. People sometimes have legit excuses for holding spots, but yours doesn't sound like one. Sorry if that sounds harsh.
Good luck. I hope you have a good time at the show (and that you're not cutting in front of me in line. ).
It'll work out all right. Do your best to get there as early as you can, and either you'll have a spot right there with your friend, or you'll be a little further back. Honestly, I can't imagine you'd even be that much farther back in line.
No hatin', just some no-nonsense true feelings that you might not get when you ask the people who are right around you if they're okay with all of it.
(I'm more likely to be a little passive aggressive about it in person, to be perfectly honest. I'm not proud of it, but I'd rather avoid confrontation ... in person, anyway!)
Seriously, this GA space is huuuuuuge, so showing up a little later is not going to end up with you in crappy spots on the floor.
We don't know the logistics yet - there's too much we won't know until Friday (who's running the line, when it's starting, where it's starting, do we have to stay overnight, what time do we show up on Sat if we don't have to camp out).
It's a little crazy, and we're all just playing it by ear.
orca, I have Twitter, and will probably post occasionally. See the little T over to the left in my profile there, if you want to send me a tweet on the Saturday.
Be forewarned however, that I'm talking mostly hockey right now, but it will switch over to U2 stuff starting on the weekend. I sometimes feel bad for my followers who don't give a rats ass about hockey, but that talk will all die down in a few weeks once the finals are over.
