@U2, Even Better Than the Real Thing

@U2.com is simply the best U2 website out there, including U2.com. I link to articles there every now and again and post in their forum pretty often.

But now @U2 is making me a whore. That's right, I'm selling the soul of the watts4u2 blog to enter a contest to win 3 CDs I already have (well, I have the unremastered versions), plus a few songs that didn't make the cut originally, and one or two that were added to recently in some fashion. I hear the boxes and artwork are nice though, and since I have virtually everything they've ever released and then some, I sure would like to win those.

Seriously though, I don't have them but I want them. I can't justify the expenditure to my wife or myself for that matter. But to win them? Mmmmm, I'm feeling giddy all over, that would be so exciting.

Sold!

Update: Look at the winner, who posted after me: Hello Mimi - @U2 Whore
What a great concept.

@U2 Contest Loser

Well, my "Vertigo" video didn't win, heck, I didn't even get a mention. The link to the winning video is having problems, But you can still see my video (with many shots by and of AGC), just click on the picture:

Bonocats?

Charlotte Observer | 05/04/2005 | Sports calendar and notes: "New arena might sell out with new team name

It was announced recently that U2 was coming to Charlotte in December to play at the new Charlotte arena. It seems that this Bono fellow can certainly draw a crowd and, not only that, sell out quickly. I went to a few Bobcat games this year and noticed a lot more empty seats than those occupied.My suggestion to Bob Johnson would be to draft Bono as a point guard. Have him sing the national anthem before the game and a few songs at halftime. It will do wonders for the attendance. He may not help them win too many games, but they were not winning many games without him. Bono won't come cheap -- but I think offering to change the name to the Bonocats while he is in uniform could clinch the deal."

I found this @ @U2, and had to post it....NC related and all.
