U2 Show

Well U2 postponed their last ten tour dates yesterday afternoon which included the NZ concerts. For those not in NZ this was one of the biggest concerts we've seen in a long time... two concerts that both sold out like within an hour or something. But its very sad that they had to postpone and will affect a lot of people with plane tickets and hotel bookings. Just from the people I know Kim and Lennon were going, Amy and Tom were going, Lisa and Lara were going...

I'm not a huge U2 fan myself but I do think it's sad (including for the band as the postponement was due to a family illness). And I thought this was a nice idea which I got from Adam's update and he got it from Shane and Sarah's site.

"Why doesn't someone organise a huge U2 party that weekend regardless?

It would be as simple as simply posting on a site (like this) that there will be a huge gathering of U2 fans, on the Auckland waterfront (viaduct) on Sat the 18th starting 9pm. Then, they could ask anyone reading the site (like you) to forward the link on to U2 fans they know will be in Auckland that day (as you are about to do).

With the power of the internet, the story of this party should travel far enough to get a lot of people down to the Viaduct on Sat night.

Just to add to the fun, U2 fans present should be told to wear a black top as a sign of Goodwill to the band over their family members ilness and the postponing of the concert - and as a sign that we really want them to come back to NZ (and not just cancel the concert).

So, forward this post on! And we'll see you all on at the Vidauct next Sat night!"
