You can call this year's Grammys "U2: Part 2"

[hippy]

Okay, welcome to the Grammy Party!

This will be the official place for everyone to hang out during the Grammys tomorrow night...we'll laugh, we'll cry, we'll drool, but through it all, we'll support our boys!

This is an open party, so everyone should feel free to join in...just let's please keep it nice in here. I will be hanging out here throughout the Grammys and I hope some other people will be here too

Pretty much anything goes! (As is ALWAYS the case with PLEBA, lol

)

So.....

I thought we'd get started tonight...

Let's start off by getting in the party spirit! So crank up "Discotheque" and get ready to BOOM-CHA! everytime our boys win one of those little statuettes!

BOOM-CHA!
BOOM-CHA!

DISCOTHEQUE!

Oh yes...I'm ready too!

Thought I'd post the lyrics to my favorite song off of ATYCLB...the song that made me fall in love with U2...literally the song that rescued me...*hums* love rescue me...

Beautiful Day
--------------------

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

That always makes me cry! This is such a life affirming song...

Sorry, getting a little heavy in here (lol, I'm the only one here!

)

Back to "Discotheque"!

BOOM-CHA!

[wildhoney22]

Grammy party! *begins the Woo!s from Elevation*

And look what Bono sent over, a bottle of vintage wine! (for the adults), and I brought the ginger ale (for the young ones)...

And a heart suitcase cake!

I just wanted to pop in early and say hello, cause I am gonna be glued to the TV during the show, so you won't be seeing me again til the after-party...

Now I'm gonna post mine and Mona's song:

Wild Honey
----------------------
In the days
When we were swinging form the trees
I was a monkey
Stealing honey from a swarm of bees

I could taste
I could taste you even then
And I would chase you down the wind

You can go there if you please
Wild honey
And if you go then go with me
Wild honey

Did I know you
Did I know you even then
Before the clocks kept time
Before the world was made

From the cruel sun
You were shelter
You were my shelter and my shade

If you go there with me
Wild honey
You can do just what you please
Wild honey

Yeah, just blowing in the breeze
Wild honey
Wild, wild, wild

I'm still standing
I'm still standing where you left me
Are you still growing wild
With everything tame around you

I send you flowers
Cut flowers for your hall
I know your garden is full
But is there sweetness at all

What is soul
Love me
Give me soul

If you go then go with me
Wild honey
Won't you take me, take me please
Wild honey

Yeah, swinging through the trees
Wild honey
Wild, wild, wild

okay cheers to all of us PLEBAns stuck in cyber Grammy Party land...

do you have your running shoes ready?

and towels for our sweat for those of us who will have to sprint between rooms, this of course can serve dual purpose by helping with our drooling problems...

oh and how could I forget the bucket...

GRAMMY DAY! What will they wear? What will they play? What will they say? Answers to all of these questions and more less than 19 hours away...

I'm skipping a class tomorrow evening to get home in time for the beginning of the show. Ha! Well, I was planning to skip it anyway, but this is a really convenient excuse.

I will be among the sprinters as well.

I AM SO FRICKIN HIGH ON THIS BAND RIGHT NOW I CAN'T STAND MESELF!!!
Hippy, thanks for planning the shindig.
*Nothing as Irish as Guinness and a party that starts the night before

however...I am joining a computer-less friend to watch. I will be home by midnight PST, at which point I will ignore the fact of an 8am shift the next day, and I'll be ALL OVER this board! And trust me, PLEBAns, I'll be WOOHOOing with you all at every single mention of our boys.

Y'know, I really haven't given a rip about the Grammys in years, since I stopped listening to commercial radio. But I'm so excited about this one...even if I've never heard Train or India.Arie or "Fallin'."
It's the U2 Show, that's all there is to it. Sing to the world (again), boys! (I sure do wish at times like this, though, that we could all magically be in front of the TV together... *PLEBAhugs*)

When my mom woke me up this morning, I hoped out of bed right away and said "Woo Hoo, It's U2 day". Then I listend to the three nominated songs over and over on the way to work!! I can't wait to go to a Grammy Party tonight and watch a U2 cover band, and watch our boys bring home the awards!!

Here's hoping that Edge has premonition again, and that his t-shirt has a #7 on it!!

------------------
***ALOTWU***

 

[elizabeth]

OK- i brought drinks, party supplies....and some snacks!

These are by far my favorite party snacks:

PIZZA ROLLS!!

We need these, because as you know....once you POP, you can't stop!!

Like these need an introduction....

(Don't worry, I brought a variety of flavors, although strawberry frosted is my favorite)

and my mom made me bring this stupid veggie tray.

[browneyedgirl]

ahhhh....Baileys...

Do you think anyone would notice if I had a little Baileys at the office this morning ?!

Maybe a little in my coffee...

 

[hippy]

*hippy takes a deep breath*

AH! They've got 7 Grammys coming, I can smell it!

But what's that I smell in addition...beer and Baileys and martinis?

I'm so high on U2 right now, I don't think I need any alcohol!

Anyway, for those people who were wondering...
CBS and VH1 are starting pre-show at 6:30 pmEST
Grammys start at 8 pmEST !!!!!

VH1 is doing a post-show thing from 11 pmEST until 12 amEST

So I've got my VCR set for 5 and a half hours of U2 tonight!

Unfortunately, gals, I must work from 6 to 8 tonight...but I'll be home right after that to party till the alarm goes off tomorrow!

Let's keep this Grammy Party going!!

So pop in ATYCLB and send good vibes to our boys...they deserve everything they get tonight! And we just know they are gonna rock the Grammys really hard!

*hippy presses play once again on the CD player and grins as the opening strains of BD begin to play...because it really is a Beautiful Day!*

btw, ATYCLB is on constant repeat in here
