wehoo U2!
feeling constantly great at the moment..feels like i'm on a high in the last few weeks, having so many things planned and looking so much forward to all of them. i like having something to look forward to, somehow makes me quite happy.
anyway, going to see U2 live in 12 days!! yeehaa! as some might not know, i actually grew up with U2 music. my mum has been to a few of their concerts, and i obviously listened to them since i was really little. i've never been soo much into them, i always loved the music but that was about it. "One" has been my all-time favourite song for quite some time now. so when my mum bought their new album and gave it to me saying "you should stop robbie for a while an listen to this", i was hooked again. i've been hanging out at U2 forums every day since then, downloaded all bootlegs i could find and got to know some nice people, U2 fans rocks btw. right now, i'm just preparing for the concert, as in learning songs, because i just think it's really stupid when you're at a concert and don't even know the songs. got myself some of their old cds on ebay, cuz my mum lost most of them (how could she?!).
i was so glad when i was still able to get 2 tickets for their show. unfortunately my mum can't come, so my friend patrizia is coming with me. which is actually quite good, because with me mum i probably would have gotten seats and that's just boring (even robbie was boring in seats). so we'll be up and at the arena at 5 am, at the day of the concert. gotta take lots of food and a blanket, so we might be able to get some sleep. it's gonna be a long wait, they won't open up the gates before 3 pm and the concert won't start before 9 pm. oh and i'm taking a banner with me, not saying what i'm gonna be writing on it, it's quite embarrising and i'll probably chicken out and not hold it up anyway, so i'm not gonna make a bit fuzz out of it here ;o) but mayybe (only maybe) this banner will get me somewhere ;o)
then there's something else i'm really looking forward to. i'm going to london again, yehaa. we spontanously booked a flight today, when we heard about Live 8 going to be in Hyde Park at July 2nd.
we don't know if we'll get tickets yet, apparantly they have some kind of lottery system and you have to send them a text message, which might not even work from germany :o(. but yeah, both U2 and Robbie will be there at the same day, so we'll just risk it, maybe we can get tickets when we're there somehow. i mean just look at the line-up:
Mariah Carey, Coldplay, Dido, Keane, Elton John, Annie Lennox, Paul McCartney, Muse, Razorlight, R.E.M., Scissor Sisters, Snow Patrol, Stereophonics, Sting, Joss Stone, Robbie Williams, U2, Velvet Revolver, Bob Geldof, The Killers, Madonna, The Cure
all those people there and you can really not expect me to stay at home and watch all this happening on tv..nooo way!
