May, 29, 2011 Canad Inns Stadium - Winnipeg, MB

[Rachel D.]

Success! According to the MB government twitter, highway 75 will be open on Tuesday.

YES! I was worried, so that's really good to hear. And my mom is worried, too; she's been saying that she will not permit me and my dad to come up there if it's still flooded. I wouldn't want to, either, if it was really bad.

WooHoo!!

Showtime

Back from New Orleans, so I don't need to put a boat on the roof of my car to make to make it to this show?
We almost needed a boat to leave Louisiana.

 

[ryancoke71]

Welcome back Mark. Glad you had a good trip. Hopefully, no boat will be needed!

 

[Rachel D.]

The highway going up from Grand Forks, ND is still closed according to this map:

North Dakota Travel Information Map

 

[EdgeFest]

It's open on the Canadian side...

And thats not too big of a deal, you would just detour on the 81 there.

The real big reason we were worried up here was if heavy loaded semis with claws on them could use that route. Regular traffic would just be detoured, you may just need to add some time on to your trip.

 

[EdgeFest]

Bumping because it's 12 damn sleeps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

((11 until Shannon's!))

 

[kramwest1]

What time at Shannon's again?

( Can't fathom what craziness it will be getting out on the road.)

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

I definitely won't be getting to Shannon's until at least after 7.

Shannon's starting at 6, but we might grab a quick dinner first, expect we will be there by 7 at the latest though

Cool.


Name tags?--for Interference to English name translation.

 

[EdgeFest]

I merely need the hat. Check my profile pic

Honestly though, that would be a great idea. I'm all over that, I'll produce some U2-ey labels and bring a sharpie.

I'll do it for EDGEmonton too

Great idea!

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

That'll be perfect!

Ready to rock.

Now to pretty them up with pix of our boys. (I can't just use PLAIN labels!)

 

[ryancoke71]

It would be good to have something while we are in line too, in case some Interferencers are wandering around!

There's pub food at Shannons! *tempt*

Yes, but I'm going to be a hungry beast after my all day trip. I'll be eating a second time probably 10pm-ish at the pub

Not going to go to Shan's on an empty tummy!

Save your one from the night before.

I bought 100. After my ticket indescretion of last night, I dare not afford more than that.

 

[ryancoke71]

Ticket indescretion?

Can someone post the address for the pub?

Dibs on an Adam one! (And CeeCee will have my ass if I don't put in a claim on an Edge one for her )

 

[EdgeFest]

We'll save an Adam one for you, Drea... and CeeCee sounds like my kinda gal.

RC - Shannons Irish pub at 175 Carleton St

And here's the Googley map

Shannons Irish pub

 

[Rachel D.]

I'm most likely not coming to the pub gathering, but I hope I can see you all in the GA line!

 

[Honey_child]

Anyone have any special food or drink requests? The pub wanted to know.

 

[Honey_child]

Hold the phone, according to a Twitter friend, she was told by Ticketmaster that Red Zone will call tickets can't be picked up until 6 PM the day of the show.

....The doors open at 5:30.

Can anyone confirm this?

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

Yeah I agree with Amy. We should definitely have something Interference related for the line up so we can recognize fellow posters

I can't wait!!

EdgeFest, that's so nice of you to do that for everyone

What the flying F?

I'll be all over that like a fly on....................

I'm going to phone them now. Wish me luck.

 

[EdgeFest]

I just talked to them and they are still claiming an hour.

Did I ever get mad. Bitched them out hard. Asked why EVERY OTHER U2 SHOW ON THE ENTIRE TOUR FOR THE PAST THREE NOW YEARS, has had earlier will call for RZ tix. Ended up just hanging up because they are retarded.

I don't WANT to go into the inner circle, but we are entitled to as RZ holders, so as fucking if we would get anywhere in there at 6:30...

I will be down there on show day early in the AM to find out the real story. We are also supposed to get a confirmation email for when we are REALLY supposed to go there, which I await. Denver got said email on the 11th, 10 days before the show, so ours is due, well, today.

This won't rest with EdgeFest, I'll keep you up to date

 

[EdgeFest]

OK. Via Twitter, I was able to confirm through LiveNation that DENVER RED ZONE tickets are available at will-call at 10am on show day.

I am now curious to know what TICKETMASTER would tell me if I call to ask about DENVER. If they say "an hour before the show", well, there's the problem.

I am going to and see what I get.

Then I am going to try to get someone from LIVE NATION to answer my question about Winnipeg, on their Facebook account.

God, why does this have to be so hard?!
