From: ??? on 2001-08-29 01:14:48
No Susanne? Did you meet them in London?!? Holy aeroplane and his friend mr cheese.. Did Larry be so incredible handsome as he seems to be? Open your vocabularity woman and let us know??
From: Slateblue on 2001-08-29 03:39:35
She did, and I was there too... but nobody asks me... ;-)))
From: ??? on 2001-08-29 04:43:47
You were with Susanne? slateblue and Susanne together, hand in hand in front of this incredible man, signing this photo of himself?! Why haven't you told us, slate? Noooo.. I do not believe you.. you would have mentioned that before, as we know you're having trouble to focus on the Edge, after seeing Larry's arms play those drums.. nah, you would have told us, if you had him standing so close, you'd had the possibility to whisper steamy words in his ear.. but got to say, you almost got me with this one girl..;)

We were waiting at the backstage entrance after the fourth London show, we were around 60 people waiting, so it was a bit crowdy. And when Larry came, the car stopped and he got out of it. :-) Susanne was there, she took pictures (I must say, I only know her from seeing and I think for her it's the same with me), and I got my ticket signed. It was a short moment, I must say... When it was my turn, I looked at him and said "Hi!", and he looked back at my and said "Hi!", took my ticket, signed it, gave it back to me and I said "Thank you". :-) He was really cute and very patient with all those fans wanting his autograph and having their picture taken with him... At the end, he asked "Is everybody happy?" and got back to the car and drove off. I don't feel to comfortable with people boasting about how often they met the band, so I prefer to be a bit more quiet about it and wait for an appropriate moment to sort of let the cat out of the bag. So there you have it.

Wow, everything bold now. Or do I have problems with my eyes?Slate: please let the cat more often out of the sack ;-) we want to hear (see) all your experiences with our boys...pleeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz
From: Tanja on 2001-08-29 05:36:49
sorry, I meant out of the BAG. ha! lol

Hi all - I just had to write something now...By the way, Slateblue, who are you? :-) Anyway, yeah, we met Larry twice... he was so lovely. We met him Monday night (midnight) at the hotel - and we were THE ONLY FANS there. We could not believe it. It was almost surreal. He came up to us as he knew us from the previous concerts (my friend had made signs for him). He explained that they wouldn't give autographs at the hotel as there were professional traders around (almost apologizing). He was very sweet. We got 4 pictures taken with him!! :-) Will be posted soon!!! At the end he asked: "Are you girls happy now"? :-) He knew it! LOL I got that pic signed on Wednesday night after the concert. There is another one coming which I got signed on Sunday I think (at the backstage entrance)(It is from Antwerps) And Bono with a self-drawn hat... Stay tuned. :-)Larry was so easy to catch this time - Adam and Edge were indeed the difficult ones! ;-)
From: ??? on 2001-08-29 05:53:36
The glue is playing tricks in y eyes again.. scary letters... anyway Aaaaah.. Larry talked to you??Slateblue, here everything is comfortable and we want to know everything about our boys!! ...hmmmm.. oh why oh why..
From: ??? on 2001-08-29 05:56:38
Oh Susanne, where did she come from?? But what do my eyes see???? You and Larry and a private moment?!? Oh my gaaaaaaaaaaaaaawd!!! He's so sweet that man.. lucky you Susanne, lucky you... hmmmm again...
From: Tanja on 2001-08-29 05:56:56
Susanne, you are so good to us! Looking forward very much to the pics! Thank you!
From: Slateblue on 2001-08-29 06:04:03
Hi Susanne, there you are, back again! :-) Who am I, well, I used to stick with Hans, Christine etc. I'm rather tall and slim, have dark hair and used to wear black most of the time. You can see me on this pic (the one in the black top), just from behind, but maybe that will do:http://www.u2-concert-pictures.com/?display=2001-07-13%20Cologne%20%28pictures%20by%20Matthias%20Muehlbradt%29%2Fpic00085.jpg
From: Slateblue on 2001-08-29 06:08:26
You were lucky there, Susanne, being the only fans waiting outside the hotel! Those are really rare moments, I think, you don't get that so often. It was the same in Sarajevo in '97, when we were only a handful of people waiting there and got to meet all four of them. A real blessing and probably a very unique experience! :-) And yes, girls, there IS a picture of myself and Edge! :-))) Once you start letting the cat out of the bag, there's no return... ;-)
From: ??? on 2001-08-29 06:14:50
Allright slate, shut it up allready.. there's only so much a person can take..But please tell me.. did he touch you? No, do not tell me?!? Oh my.. this is too much of information for one day... Hey, one question as you seem to be a tallish person. How tall are you slateblue and was Edge shorter, or is just a myth, they being less.. tall?
From: Slateblue on 2001-08-29 06:19:57
Well, he's quite a bit shorter than me, though I can't say how much. I'm 6 feet tall (thats 183 cm), but I still have no idea about Edge's height... does any of you know?
From: ??? on 2001-08-29 06:26:25
Oh yes, you're actually taller than me!! I'm 180, don't know about the feet and stuff, I suppose something like 5'11.. maybe. And I've read that Edhe Would be 5'9, don't know really.. do I even care.. I love short men!!!
From: ??? on 2001-08-29 06:27:18
Edhe.. hehehe, anyway, whoever he is, he is my precious little man..
From: Slateblue on 2001-08-29 06:59:19
You're absolutely right there, ???: With those beautiful eyes, arms, body, whatever, with this aura that he has, who cares about his height?
From: ??? on 2001-08-29 07:06:16
Yes my tallish friend, the man is perfect as he is...
From: Susanne on 2001-08-29 15:43:34
Glad you all like my pix! :-) I can tell you I am spending big €€€ for all the films and developments! LOLThe London-Larry pix (with us) I will have on Friday at latest so watch out. :-) Slate, I couldn't find you on the pic - anyway... :-)And Edge is only 1.76 metres I think. In Berlin he appeared to be SO SMALL at the hotel. :-) He was not taller than my friend who stood next to him and she IS 1.76 metres.. Ain't that sweet! :-)
From: Slateblue on 2001-08-29 16:12:06
Susanne, I'm dying to see your London-Larry pix!!! Can't wait till Friday... You must spend a fortune for all those films and stuff, but if the result is like THAT, it really pays! :-) So you really didn't see me on this picture (mentioned above)? Gosh, and I thought I was tall... my right arm is in front of Bono's left leg! Does that help?
From: Susanne on 2001-08-29 17:49:00
Slate, yeah it does help! :-) Sorry.... but were you really in London? I don't think I saw you? But on the other hand, I can see only your back here on the photo so... LOLWill check for the pix tomorrow, have scanned the rest of Arnhem plus first part of Antwerps tonight, should be posted tomorrow by Matthias! Poor him! :-)
From: ??? on 2001-08-30 00:13:47
Heh heh.. Susanne probably had eyes only for U2, no wonder. But you awfully lucky person Susanne!!! I'm still trying to recover from the fact that Slateblue has herself pictured with my cutiness, so I'm not mentioning about her luck now.. But I am waiting for more of your beautiful pics.. aaaahh.. I love this site!!!PS Slateblue.. about the picture of you and my man.. do you have it on your nightstand, or as a poster on your ceiling above your bed? What do you do in the picture, are you talking.. what did he say anyway?? Are you holding your arm around him.. or vice versa?!? tell me about that moment, I think I'm ready now..
From: ??? on 2001-08-30 00:28:25
.. well stupid me is confused again, but susanne, you met Larry twice? Don't you mean three times, sunday, monday and wednesday?? And what is it about Larry and that one sentence: Is everybody happy now? And what do you mean he recognised you?? What sign? And the most important question :Why don't Edge recognise me??
From: Slateblue on 2001-08-30 01:01:33
Susanne: Never mind, you can't remember everybody you see! Remember Stefan? He was with two girls, one of them was red-haired and the other was myself. Oh well, enough of that now... :-)???: I do in fact have that picture standing on my desk! :-) But don't worry, it just shows me standing next to him, smiling the hell out of myself. You might have seen it, it's spread on the internet, I come across it a couple of times myself. So no hugging, just standing beside him and grinning like mad. :-)
From: ??? on 2001-08-30 01:21:56
Is it You wearing a jeans jacket? That is a picture I remember, a brunette standing next to him, really smiling and wearing a jeans jacket and a white shirt? Could it be you Slateblue?
From: Slateblue on 2001-08-30 04:14:15
Yeah, that's me!!! Funny you remember it! :-)))
From: Slateblue on 2001-08-30 04:19:01
So ???, you see it's all pretty harmless and innocent... I was far too shy to make approaches of any kind. In fact, I could hardly say hi... God, I remember I was so nervous, and I kept thinking, "This is it! This is it! The moment you've been waiting for for so long! That's THE EDGE right in front of you!!!" Not the kind of thoughts that cool you down I must say... ;-)
From: ??? on 2001-08-30 04:31:05
Oh yes Slateblue, of course I remember a beautiful woman standing next to my honey!! If there's a picture on the internet, about a woman and him, I remember!! And you especially made me think about his height..Oh you lucky lucky thing!! But I assure you, I might say whatever here, but if I saw him out there, I probably would just stand there with an open mouth, not move, not talk.. not breathe.. and then someone would need to call the ambulance!
From: Slateblue on 2001-08-30 07:52:53
Hehe, well, I'm blushing a bit over here... LOL! So imagine the two of us meeting him... not the most talkative duo, right? ;-) I can't help thinking those situations are a bit weird, because when you've waited for something to happen for such a long time, and when finally the moment is THERE, you surely want it to be good and not say stupid things or so... just not ruin everything. But as nothing comes to mind that would be worth saying to him, you just shut up and stare. At least that's what I did. And I figure it would be the same if it happened to me again. It's different with Bono, though, but Edge is just... Edge is just Edge. And I just wouldn't want to make a fool of myself.
From: Susanne on 2001-08-30 17:07:36
Slateblue... yeah, I remember Stefan and the redhead... but not you, sorry! LOL Anyway, when did you get that pic with Edge? Wow! :-) He was so difficult to catch in London... :-(
From: Susanne on 2001-08-30 17:17:33
???>but susanne, you met Larry twice? >Don't you mean three times, sunday, >monday and wednesday?? Well, okay basically everyday then! LOL We met him on Mondy night at the hotel and there we had this little convo I have already told about earlier... :-) Then on Tuesday he got out of the car before the concert to sign pix.... or was it Wednesday? Gee! or AND? I am getting confused now. Probably both days. Wednesday before the show as well plus after the show he gave autographs again and my friend got taken another pic taken with him. :-) Unfortunately it didn't turn out too good... but the ones with Larry and the three of us are nice! Will be posted at the weekend!:-) >And what is it about Larry and that >one sentence: Is everybody happy now? Well, after we had this little photo session all alone (where his bodyguard took the pictures), he asked us with a smile "Are you girls happy now".:-) Of course, Larry would make any girl happy! Hehe! Ooops! :-) He had seen us waiting in front of the hotel all those days for sure so I assume he thought we wanted something... and when we got the pix we was just making a statement! :-)>And what do you mean he recognised >you?? Well, from our previous shows... we were always fron row and he looked and smiled at us a lot of times. :-) Plus in Amsterdam we talked to him as well, he said to my friend when he was signing "I know you, I have recognized you".> What sign?My friend had the signs " Drums rule" and "It is all about drums" (remember the R&H video? :-)>Why don't Edge recognise me??I cant answer that one! LOLGee, that was long!!!
From: Susanne on 2001-08-30 17:18:52
.. and check back for more Antwerp2 pix, I have sent out more to Matthias tionight.. Well worth it! :-)
From: Susanne on 2001-08-30 17:20:11
sorry about my spelling... it is late..:-) i meant Antwerp 1 still...!
From: ??? on 2001-08-31 00:41:14
Slateblue, that would be so funny.. Edge would meet a giant sized.. read tall and slender, duo he would need to look up to and no one would say a word. You would dazzle him with your beautiful smile and I would.. well, I would just stare!! He would be too shy to say anything and we would be afraid to seem like idiots, remember I'm staring at him with an open mouth, if we say something stupid..In fact, that is why I've always been against all this fan stuff, even as a teenager I used to make fun of my fanatic friends.. I am not telling them about Edge no....but what can I say, I couldn't resist his sound anymore and had to look, how does a man playing his guitarr like the Edge does, look like, and here I am.. and are afraid, that I can't get away..
From: ??? on 2001-08-31 00:48:01
Thank You Susanne, for you more than specific answers!! Do you understand about my nickname now.. life is a big question.. and mine is worth three!!About Larry's sentence, he asked a sentence like that even when Slateblue was there, so I just thought it his.. regular.. don't know.. I'm so amazed about your stories that I don't know much anything anymore..But I do know Edge is sweet and I hope your Antwerp pictures shows him to mee.But Susanne, there is one thing, as you seem to meet them so often and be friends with Larry and Adam gives you the eye.. please, please Susanne, tell them that Edge needs to wear a question mark on his shirt!!!
From: Slateblue on 2001-08-31 01:59:22
Geez, Susanne, seems you are a bit of an obtrusive girl! ;-) That picture of Edge and me was taken in Sarajevo in 1997.???, this is a really funny scene to imagine! Two tall women staring at Edge with an open mouth and not saying a word... LOL! And just think of how we would be afterwards! Probably going on like "Fuck it, I should've said something!" - "Me too... shit!" :-)))
From: Susanne on 2001-08-31 05:34:33
Slate, why obstrusive? What is that? LOL???, Ok, I will tell your hun to wear a ?. but why what? because of your "name"? :-)
From: Susanne on 2001-08-31 05:40:30
Oh, and about Adam.. yeah he gave us an eye. But also more! LOL Once he came up to us (after the Munich gig had ended) and gave us his hand saying "You were so great" => We had made fun of him the whole show (in a good way of course) as as he was only standing there doing nothing.. You know what I mean! Or smoking cigs.. whatever! LOL We had to laugh and he laughed back. :-)And in Amsterdam he came up to us from himself when he saw us in front of the hotel and asked us for our names and where we would be from... :-) And said "You have been travelling to a lot of shows".. right on the man is! I only wished he had asked us for our telephone numbers as well! LOL We got pix taken with him but they are not on the net... I don't like myself on the pic. :-)Really no boasting here - I myself cannot believe what all happened to us... :-o
From: ??? on 2001-08-31 05:41:36
;-) ...wouldn't I be in exctasy if he did that??
From: ??? on 2001-08-31 05:46:18
..well, my last comment was to Susanne's comment before that comment.. where did that story come from anyway??Well, anyway, I'm so dazzled about all this new information that I think I have to sleep the whole weekend.. or at least daydream.. of Edge, what did you expect?? .. and Edge asking my name AND the phonenumber..
From: Susanne on 2001-08-31 05:52:01
Just join us the next time! :-)
From: ??? on 2001-08-31 05:57:42
I am slowly starting to see that..
