Oh crap. They changed trains while I was not paying attention and I went past the switch stop. I just can't Blue Crack and ride the rails. Mom fail.
Dazz, I'd go for Adam's side. Not sure if it's true this leg, but I remember we got lots of Adam love on the catwalk in Foxboro.
Also, I seem to remember hearing that Adam's side seems to not fill up as fast ... not sure about rail, but I know I've seen comments throughout the tour that people have had good luck finding pit space on that side.

corianderstem said:I was fairly far over on the outer rail on Edge's side, and we barely got any Bono love over there. Also bear in mind that if you're very far off center, it's hard to see any band members who are on the opposite side of the catwalk.
You don't realize how big that thing is and how much it curves until you're right there on it.
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!!!!
Yup, very true. We walked in at 5pm MTL1 and had great spots!

And dazz, I made extended eye contact with Bono twice, when he was on the bridge passing over us during BD and SBS.
Try not to let yourself fixate too hard on what spot you need to have, so you don't freak out if that one particular part of the rail fills up before you're there. There's loads of rail available.
I am so unproductive today.
It's pretty shameful.
I think if I had Montreal 1 to do over, I'd go 2nd or 3rd row right under Bono instead of rail directly under Edge. And if you don't mind NOT getting on the rail, you can be 200, 300 or so and still be in the first 2 or 3 rows dead center, in my experience.
It's been more interesting to start writing my trip recap for my blog. I've written out a SUPER LONG version of it all, but I don't think I'll post the whole thing. It's just way too damn long and gushy. Shorter is definitely better. Or maybe I'll split it up into a bunch of posts - one for each day. That might be a better idea. I dunno.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I haven't planned a single lesson or read a single play or scheduled ANYTHING this week. That's all I'm supposed to have been doing. Instead I've chatted w/ y'all and sorted/uploaded 900 photos. Still editing the Larry ones
I'm supposed to call a friend here in a bit to chat, but what should I say? "Der, I've done NOTHING all week! you?"
This is my one full, 5-day work week this month.
First week - holiday on Monday
Last week - vacation Thursday and Friday to hang w/ biodad
This week - FIVE AGONIZING DAYS
Next week - vacation on Friday for Minneapolis
Final week - vacation on Friday for Moncton
... my life is so hard.
Unproductivity, ftw! I haven't been getting much done either.

I like the idea of an entry for each day.
No, I was front rail, right below Edge (with Wild) for night one and outer rail dead center for night 2.
nothin.
'sup wit you?
hi comet!
yeah you can give me your opinion

I like the idea of an entry for each day.
I'm home for the day. Got maybe two hours sleep last night, my back is wrecked, but got up and went to work anyway. When I walked in, my supervisor was all anxious to hear how it was, looked at me and thought I was hungover and partied all weekend, I look so hellish. I told her about the back issues and lack of sleep, and she said "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU EVEN DOING HERE, YOU COULD HAVE TAKEN ANOTHER DAY, GO HOME!" Told her I'd try to stick it out, then sat there staring at my monitor like a zombie, read three emails in half an hour, replied to one in what was probably an incomplete sentence, and then said "yeah, I can't do this."
