U2's last concert

Originally posted by Angel_or_DevilThe last concert should be televised and broadcasted on all the major radio networks across the world. Tickets will be so expensive. Rrrr I wanna go to it, perhaps Asso (the edge) will come out the closet and tell us his true identity and offer u2start members tickets

Originally posted by drewhigginsMaybe they'll be like the Rolling Stones - still going at 60. Wouldn't that be a sight to behold. And I agree, the Globe Arena is an ugly thing as are most buildings.

Hey Drew! How are you? I haven't talked to you in a while. Hope you're doing OK.
One more post! Congratulations!

I'm doing bloody great. Should we set it off with 1000? Of course, so here goes.

Originally posted by drewhigginsThat's too cool, 1000 posts. Finally!

One place I'd like to see would be in the courtyard of the Mount Temple Comprehensive School. It's where they started and met.
