....... Lovely, lovely Madrid Originally posted by germcevoy:It was too hot for me that day. Just was not prepared for it. I was in bad shape when i got outside. Had to lie down for a while and ended up vomiting. Ended up sleeping for most of the next day
Originally posted by LikeASong:Noone`s built for 35C degrees and 80 percent of humidity, it is physically devastating. I understand Gerard.
I remember a couple that had been standing next to me inside the circle for hours... and at some point, she got ash pale and started to sway, and her boyfriend/husband called for the medics and they brought her out of the GA.... that was no more than half an hour before U2 came on stage. I felt so sorry for her, the whole day queueing in the heat and then she missed the concert 
Barcelona was already too hot for me. We have 35 and more degrees here as well in the summer, but the humidity is different. If I had to chose between the heat of Spain and the rain of Ireland....the latter means less life danger for me

Can't believe you've seen them and I live in the same town and haven't yet
when we were there, the band was in full work on the album. we hadn't expected to see anyone at all when we walked to the studio, and then... they all came in during the afternoon sometimes the luck is with the foolish

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't know you had met them, Kirsten!! It's really awesome!! Such a nice date then, congratulations
I'm just so glad we could take a photo, otherwise I'd doubt my own senses it was for real... it indeed seemed unreal back then, in the black of a summer night in Dublin, after hours of rain and all, way after midnight, in the middle of nowhere (the docks at night are no place you wanna hang around as a girl, I tell you)... and suddenly your favorite singer and guitarist stand right in front of you, shake your hand and talk to you.... what a blessing it was Originally posted by AidanFormigoni:[..]
Great pictures!
Congrats
