    Hey Maura, it was great.....I was there about a week. Went to Dublin 1 with Remy, Coen, and Zooropa413. We were on the rail just outside of the circle catwalk, a perfect position to be, really. Probably the highlight of the night was during COBL when Bono was singing literally 3 feet away from me and a fan behind me was trying to get Bono to trade sunglasses with him. But the guy was too far back and Bono couldn't reach, so he motioned to pass the glasses forward. I grabbed the guys glasses and handed them to Bono....then he took off his own and handed them to me, and I handed them back to the fan. (I probably should have just kept them, but....oh well. I'm a nice guy. What can I say?!) Oh, and I got a setlist from the camera operator....but the Bono glasses thing was pretty freakin' cool.

    Aw, Jeremy's a nice guy!

Was it surreal meeting the crew? maybe ill bring a pair of sunglasses to the Chicago gigs and hope to get Bono's Glad you had a good time- i wish i could be there. just no money after studying abroad all semester in Rome.
  3. OMG Swedish Jazz Rap is sweet!!
  4. I'm back. Did I miss something? What's this about Swedish Jazz Rap?? Does something like that even exist??

    about Jon Stewart on Crossfire:

    W.O.W.
    I am blown away by Jon, once again
    He was handing CNN its head even back then, yet doing it with a smile and an intelligent joke in every line

    a few notes,

    about (paraphrasing) 'will it be harder to ridicule somebody other than Bush?' - weren't we all wondering about that in January. The problem with Bush was he gave the comics WAAAAAY too much material. The Obama administration, for all its promise, sadly still produces too much.

    love how he had them dumbstruck for a moment, there, when he told them about going into spin alley, which is what they do after debates.

    Damn, the transcript of this show needs to be enshrined in the National Archives. Jon's analysis of the spin doctors' 'ends justify means' approach is cutting diamonds.

    Lol my head off. Tucker sarcastically told Jon to 'come back soon'.

    Also, I seem to have a problem unzipping some packs of video boots on this site. I am trying 1997-06-15 Edmonton, right now, and my freeware archiver (Peazip) says I might need a password. What archiver do you use? ...or maybe I just need to configure it better.

    ISN'T IT THE BEST MOMENT OF TELEVISION EVER?!!??
    Like, everything about Jon in that is just, amazing! He just fucking destroyed them! And they tried to fight back, but then Jon even got the studio audience on his side, and I'm like, DUDE! That's amazing! It totally should be in the national archives it's just...mind blowing how awesome Jon is in that, and like you said, he did it all with a smile and a joke, that man is just amazing
    Use WinRAR, that's what I use to unzip files
    Oh, and there is such a thing as Swedish Jazz Rap, there was this group called Movits on the Colbert Report, and they are freaking sweet!

    These boys just got the Colbert Bump
  6. Well kids, it's been fun, but it's well past my bedtime I'm afraid G'night all!

  7. I didn't exactly keep score until now, but let me put it this way, tv eras should be divided into Ante/Ex Stewartius-Cruxignis, or maybe just call everything after Stewart's arrival on the scene Anno Domini.
    Pardon the sloppy latin, but I just love that language; wanna learn it, someday.

    Correction, he had the studio audience from the very start XD

    ok, i'll look for a freeware version

    Swedish jazz rap indeed sounds catchy, but I can't see myself listening to it regularly
    the video is surprisingly well done, too
    now I just need a translation

    Yeah, I got to check out Mt. Temple, HQ, Windmill Lane, The Bonavox Hearing Aide Shop, and Bono's house to name a few. Great trip in general....you're gonna have a blast @ Chicago!
  9. Anyone?
  10. Anybody here?

    If not, I urge everybody to wear sun protection while outside. I just had the worst time. My back and chest is sunburned, yet I decided to go for my regular walk/jog/run. My skin reacted with the sweat and sun, then it became extremely itchy, tingly. If it's happened to you, you know what I'm talking about. If not, you don't want to know. I was in my shower literally crying for it to stop. It was bad, until I called my mom and she came home with all sorts of creams, powders and allergy medication. Which did nothing until the powder cooled down the skin.

    I just needed to share that.
