Hi Andre!
I don't know if you remember me at all, since it's been a while (years!) since I've written my livejournal. The reason why I remembered the existence of this journal & all the friends I used to have here is because I am FINALLY going to see U2 live!!! (Next Friday & Saturday here in Helsinki) ..

How are you doing these days? :)
