1. Totally unrelated to anything U2, but if people are going to be in the area on Thursday night, my band is participating i a "Battle of the Bands" at Harry Caray's on Thursday night at 10:00PM. We play Reggae/Rocksteady music mostly with a couple other genres mixed in. Here's the info:

    Thursday September 10th:

    A battle of the bands featuring Drop Steady vying to take the title as better than the rest!

    Thank you to everyone who has come out and supported us thus far! We need you for this show! For those who haven't yet had a chance to come out, check out some of the videos below and then make plans for this one!

    NO COVER CHARGE!
    $2 Corona, Corona Lt. and Pacifico

    There is only one band this night- Drop Steady!

    Come help lead us to victory!


    So, if you're in town and want something fun to do, come check us out! Of course, the real concerts begin on Saturday night

  3. Sorry, forgot the pertinent details!

    Location: Harry Caray's

    By the way, this is directly across (east) the street from Wrigley Field! Hope to see some U2 fans out there!

    Here is our musical style...



  4. taping for the show began 1 hr ago (5 CST). I couldn't attend due to an extremely swollen ankle from soccer practice yesterday. Nursing it for standing all day in GA sunday. I'm crossing my fingers that they aren't at Oprah's kick off party, but I have a few friends there and they haven't texted me anything about U2 or Bono being in sight. Crossing fingers bc if I miss it, I'll be kicking myself.
  5. Totally a rumor. No spotting of them.
  6. Anyone got any more new pix from chicago of the stage being built or set up
  7. any word on rehearsals? i know it'll be nothing like barcelona, but we're gettin close so i would think they'd at least run through some stuff

    i'm gonna guess friday
  9. I'm wondering if there are any new pics of the the claw in Soldier Field, and I'm wondering if/when the band will be doing a soundcheck. I imagine they may need to run a few songs, including "Your Blue Room", which I read they are doing something with the International Space Station?
