You betchya!  I'm in for that.

Nice to have a date for this thing, now I have something to aim for.  Will hang fire for a few more replies before starting to organise myself.

Hell yeah.  Everyone who's not us will kill themselves through jealousy.

this aint fair.. i wanna come!
Melll, can you keep space for me in your suitcase? you can measure me up when i get to london?...

they go on sale on the 31st of this month at 10 am (EST, I assume...). There should be some cheap seats/floor available then. I'm buying a ticket either way. 

Hmmm.  Tempting.  But I thought these gettogethers were usually done in the fall.

Because they suck.

Not the last weekend?  Damn, I was hoping it would be after classes ended.  Actually, I may still have a shot if its the third weekend...

Angry U2 fans because they paid $40 to sign up for U2.com, which was supposed to get them guarrenteed tickets to the concert of their choice. The pre-sale thing fucked up, and most people ended up with no tickets or tickets in the nosebleed sections. So they're $40 poorer for no reason. Ch-Check It Out. That used to be a U2 fan site.

Or too poor and living in a crappy-ass job market ... I don't know who qualifies for that, though ... oh, wait, me!     

Unless, of course, someone wants to set up a PayPal fund to send good old Zoidy to the PEELathon ... *winkwink*

Though I don't know what my availability will be then, with class, clinical times, and ambulance ridealongs ... paramedic school's a bitch.  Maybe if it was a holiday weekend, and I have a Monday or Friday off of class ... if we had one in August, it'd be MUCH easier for me to attend (hint hint).

What about dragging Nix along to the concert instead of us?   

edit @ Eggs:
I'd be down for a West Coast PEELathon.  Vancouver, WA you say?  I could drive!  So, sign me up for that idea...

May? Aw man, I was hoping it would be a little later than that. Like when my school days were over.

And I'm not getting dragged to any faggoty U2 concert.

the last weekend in memorial day. if I had to drive on memorial day weekend it would take me three weeks to get to new york.

he'll be in school. I can't imagine he'd be able to come

and honestly, if no one wants to go, then that's fine. if people want to go, but hate U2, then that's fine. the concert is at night, you guys can still come and just have an orgy, or go out, or whatever from 7 pm-??? if you want. one concert can't last an entire weekend...

Hmmm... I can't go. If it was this Fall, maybe, but It's hard to get a job at a place that works around my university schedule, so I only have that kind of scratch (about $300 for 2 day return) in the Summer/Fall, from working in the Summer.

Sammy's right, you know! I wanna see U2 in madison square garden. That is SO cool.

Did somebody say U2? U2 like that band?Get it? As in "you also like U2"?LOL! I would love to meat everyone at the next Peelathon.

Please. Go away. You scare me. Don't come to PEELathon. I will pay you to NOT go.

Hey, I saw something in the Theme Park thread about a new rollercoaster in Six Flags Great Adventure...can we go there for a PEELathon, since it's right in New Jersey? I would definetely be up for some serious rollercoaster action.

Lampy, that's so precious.

"I'm not going to some faggoty U2 concert!...
But does anyone want to go ride the new roller coaster with me?"

I don't care what we do, to be honest, I'd just like to turn up, hang out and meet people.  We could pick the weevils out of biscuits for all I care.

BTW: If there's a book running on whether Melll's full-of-it and will never come, I'll take that bet, and collect when I see you. 

I might be up for it. Not the concert part, but the flying a whole lot of miles and then hanging out part. How much non-U2-related merriment is there going to be?

I think I'll pass on the U2 concert, but if there's going to be an entire weekend made of it, I might be interested just for hanging out purposes.  If it's not going to be that weekend, I'll need solid dates as soon as possible so I can put in for leave from work.  Heck, if some people wanted to swing by New Jersey to ride some big-ass roller coaster, I'd be up for that as well.  I haven't been to a theme park in years. 

Six Flags blows.

Now Dorney Park, THAT'S where the action is.
