Music: Re: [u2tour] Re: killing bono afterparty Pittsburgh

Thanks, I am really looking forward to the show , i'll be camping out at
Concert Camping , which will be a gathering of U2 folks 2000-2500 think about it
. It is one thing to go to a U2 concert, but add over 2000 people that can
totally relate to the U2 experience at the build up to the show. I'll be coming
in to the field, it is like woodstock , but totally focused on U2 music.
YYYAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Take care
