Okay, I'm off to go for a run and then work at my parents' camp for the day. Have a good one, all, and I'll probably drop back in again at some point tonight.
What was Joe like? I've read that he's...not all that friendly, which is sad, since I spent many years in love/lust with him.
Wow, really?? Larry's always been my (distant) number two.
You have the best family ever!
Just out of curiosity, how did he have drinks with Joe??
To clarify, I probably "like" Edge more. Or in a different way. I'd probably want to hang out with Edge more. I love him, but in a very platonic way. But for physical attractiveness? Mr. Mullen's got it going on.
(not that I wouldn't want to hang out with Larry. I just think he really wouldn't want to hang out with me...I'm not even making sense, I'm just rambling at this point)
Unfortunately not. I don't get to go to a lot of concerts because a) where I used to live, the closest venue was AT LEAST 2-3 hours away from me, and b) lack of funds.Yep, Bono asked if he had you yet, OMG
Which was the relative that had drinks with Bono??
Have you seen him in concert?
I saw him on his last tour and it was amazing! I have second row seats for the show on Sunday
Your inlaws are like, the luckiest people.That was Paul who is also the one that had a drinking session with Joe Elliott
Then my niece stood next to bono Ali and the kids at the millennium celebrations i Dublin
My sister in law saw them loads of times in the real early days
my aunt in law was sat next to Bono at traffic lights a few times
and various other sightings

I know exactly what you mean.

I hear ya on the "boring" front. I don't have time to do anything interesting. In fact, last night I was so dog tired, I fell asleep at about 8:45pm
I'll let you know about the job. But he also asked 2 other people to apply for it and I heard that some people from the East Coast were nosing around it tooI'm having a good year teaching so far, so if I don't get it (or if they can't pay me what I need to make to live comfortably) I'll live. I'll be sad but I'll live.
What? Larry pics a few pgs back?
*goes to check*
I know no one's job is "easy," but this one is really mentally exhausting. By the end of the week, my brain is mush. She sounds like she'll have a busy year. You must be proud though
I just got back from a Def Leppard concert a week ago
They played in Toronto around the time of your show, but I didn't get tickets this time.
You know you're a fan when that totally makes sense
I'm proud/envious, because what I worked my ass off to do, she makes it look so easy with barely any effort. I suppose I can tell myself that it's my dna that helps her do that.
I saw that you went to the concert!! And you loved it?? Your mom was a fan? Tell her that I had front rows for the tour in '93 and Phil is a giant manwhore who was flirting with me the whole show, and I'm pretty sure I could have gotten backstage (where, I found out years later, dirty, dirty things happened) if I had wanted to. I didn't like Phil, I liked Joe.
I had tickets to see them again in '05, but sold them to buy more U2 tickets.
). I've loved Def Leppard forever and my mom was freaking....so was I! Why does U2 not do things like that?????you know you're a fan when you treat going to a concert like going a date and make sure you're "ready" encase you get lucky
You know me too well
You know you're a fan when that totally makes sense
I know exactly what you mean.

Going outside to play with the little guy for a bit - BBS
Only because it's what i do
Am i the only one that dislikes Coldplay?
Hey, you never know right! They are rockstars afterall. They gotta have some rockstar tendencies
I'm sure your DNA helped with her smarts
Oh god yes, I loved it!! I was partying all night (finally could drink at a show and not worry about losing my spot for washroom breaks
I just told her what you said and she said she's jealous. She said she loved the ripped jeans In the Round tour look of Joe's
Sounds like youz a groupie
And he kept doing it! I eventually looked away, because it just felt awkward. Then years later on some Behind The Music thing, they said that they'd invite women under their stage, but they all had to be topless. That grossed me out SO much EW. As if. :shudder: Phil was married at the time, and he'd apparently met his wife because she was a fan... As much as we'd like them to be.
I knew you guys would get it despite my nonsensical rambling.
Have fun Zooey!
Maybe. Maybe some fans just had some isolated bad experiences with him, and that's what I'd read. Not every celebrity is on 24/7 like Bono, I guess. We're so lucky in that way.
Hey Cori!
I loved them SO much back in the day. I still remember, the show was in the round, and after the first half hour or so, every time Phil walked around, he made eye contact, with these huge smiles. I was absolutely batshit thrilled to be front row. I made signs and everything. Wore a shirt my ex had made for me, the whole front was Joe's face airbrushed on by this hugely talented artist we knew ( i still have the shirt). Then during the encore, Phil came and stood right in front of me and stared at me, with this exaggerated sad face, miming that he was wiping tears and waving goodbye!!!! I was like "um...."
I like U2 MUCH better. They're not fucking creepy.
I'm sure there are tons of U2 fans that hate Coldplay
That's hilarious!!
Yeah I think if U2 were actually slimey like that we'd be turned off.
I'd be on Bono 24/7
That's hilarious!!
Yeah I think if U2 were actually slimey like that we'd be turned off.
Joe was on my "list," Phil was never even considered. And when I heard about the topless women backstage, i remember being SO grossed out, UGH.
They respect their fans, and are very accessible, Not many bands are as easy to meet.
Although the lead singer make innuendos up on the studio steps
Now there's a surprise.
I am like 98% convinced that if I had returned his...uh...gestures? Whatever they were? That I probably would have been invited back there. I always found him a little skeevy though. And then there was the whole me being married thing.
Yeah, that would NOT be a good attitude for U2 to adopt. At all.
Hi MsPurrl! How are you?
