Someone sent me this photo this morning. Perfect for what is going on in the news here in MA.
Meep!
Could you please just release all of your concert dates for 2010 now? I know planning a massive tour takes a huge effort, but I am not very patient. It looks like you may have missed New England in your plans for 2010 and I am hoping you make a return to the UK to make up for that. But, rumors are swirling that for some insane reason you aren't even planning a return to the UK in 2010?!
I am getting tired of hitting refresh on all my favorite U2 sites and reading the latest tour rumors. Please. Please. PLEASE just announce the remainder of the tour ASAP.
Then I won't have to look at rumors like this pretty list:

What a great photo of our man Bono! He looks all sexy!! Ahhhhhhhh!
What's the longest you've ever waited in line?
It must've been about 11 hours.
My friends and I had gone to see Siouxsee & the Banshees at a concert on Boston Common. The next morning U2 tickets were going on sale at the Orpheum Theater at 10:00am. It was the Joshua Tree tour and the concert was at the old Foxboro/Sullivan stadium.
This was before ticket brokers and before I had a credit card, so we decided to wait overnight for the chance to purchase tickets. In Boston. On the sidewalk. What the hell was I thinking?
New Snow Patrol comes out tomorrow in the US. 'Up to Now' is a two disc set. Can't wait to listen to it!!!!!
*** Update at 11:32 EST on 11/9/09**** I am in the process of downloading now and will not have to wait until tomorrow! Will be making two copies! LOL! One for Cupid and one for the anti-crush!
I was thinking tonight back when music stores used to stay open late....past midnight for new releases. Now with online sales they really don't do that.
Oooooh! To celebrate the new cd Snow Patrol released an app for the iPhone. Not sure if it's because so many people are using it, or there are bugs or what, but all I can do is design a snowflake! LOL
Thank you to A/T for sharing!

Guess what I've been listening to all morning while waiting for the washer machine to do it's thing?
That's right. Miley Cyrus. Bwa hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! I know I should hang my head in shame. BUT....this song is a little bit catchy!!!
I hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream and my cardigan
Welcome to the land of fame, excess, whoa am I gotta fit in?
Jumped in the cab, here I am for the first time
Look to my right, and I see the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy, everybody seems so famous
My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And the Jay-Z song was on
And the Jay-Z song was on
And the Jay-Z song was on
So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like "Yeah!"
Movin' my hips like "Yeah!"
Got my hands up, they're playin' my song
And now I'm gonna be okay
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
Get to the club in my taxi cab
Everybody's lookin' at me now
Like "Who's that chick that's rockin' kicks
She's gotta be from out of town"
So hard with my girls not around me
It's definitely not a Nashville party
'Cause all I see are stilettos
I guess I never got the memo
My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the DJ dropped my favorite tune
And the Britney song was on
And the Britney song was on
And the Britney song was on
So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like "Yeah!"
Movin' my hips like "Yeah!"
Got my hands up, they're playin' my song
And now I'm gonna be okay
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
Feel like hoppin' on a flight, on a flight
Back to my hometown tonight, town tonight
Something stops me every time, every time
The DJ plays my song and I feel alright
So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like "Yeah!"
Movin' my hips like "Yeah!"
Got my hands up, they're playin' my song
And now I'm gonna be okay
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like "Yeah!"
Movin' my hips like "Yeah!"
Got my hands up, they're playin' my song
And now I'm gonna be okay
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
What are your favorite web or mobile apps? Which ones do you use everyday?
Hmmm. The two I use the most are just Facebook and AIM. I guess I am boring Vox! : )
A U2 show marking the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall has run into controversy - after organisers built a wall around the venue.
A two metre barrier has been erected around the Brandenburg gate to keep out people without tickets for the show.
"This has created a lot of outrage here because the falling of the wall was supposed to bring people together," said BBC reporter Damien McGuinness.
The U2 show is part of the MTV Europe Music Awards, which take place later.
Ten thousand tickets were given away free online and snapped up within hours.
Now police in the city say they're expecting as many as 100,000 people to descend on the square in front of the Brandenburg gate to try and catch a glimpse of U2.
"It is a big event, one that I am very pleased about. It would be nice if as many Berliners as possible could take part," Frank Henkel, Christian Democrat floor leader in the Berlin city-state parliament, was quoted as saying in the daily Berliner Morgenpost.
"It would be great if the organizers would avoid barriers of any kind."
McGuinness said Berliners think it is "pretty ironic" that an event to mark the falling of the wall has resulted in another one being constructed.
Berlin politicians dissuaded US President Barack Obama from visiting the city as part of the celebrations, for fear his security operation would require several main roads be blocked off.
It is now feared road blocking will be necessary to accommodate U2's fans.
Calls to representatives of U2 and MTV seeking comment have not yet been returned.
LETS HOPE THIS GETS SORTED OUT !!!!!
Anyone who gets me a ticket to a U2 show is pretty much a rock star!! But, then to invite me to the West Coast? Well, they get elevated status of course!! : )
My friend DLT is almost as much as a crazy U2 fan as I am!
He is also a big hockey fan. His team is the Carolina Hurricanes even though he is from The OC. He is not a Bruins fan. I shall let that slide.
Oh, and of course since he is a Cali boy he loves the beach!
: )
