Tassoula posted a few days ago about the @U2 U2 3D event in Seattle last weekend, and she included a few photos from the night. This is just a quick post to say I’ve finally caught up and added another handful of pix from the evening to our Flickr account. Our mini-set (8 photos) is at the link below:
Enjoy!
Thanks to everyone who came out to the Pacific Science Center and Jillian’s for the West Coast party last night. We all had a wonderful time and enjoyed meeting you (special shout-out to our guests from Pittsburgh—it was amazing you came all that way for us)!
Here are just a few photos from the evening:

Congratulations go out to Sally K., for winning the grand prize at the Boston U23D afterparty: a Gibson Epiphone acoustic guitar, generously donated by the Hard Rock Cafe.
Kudos to all of the other winners of U2 DVDs prior to the film’s screening and later on at the Hard Rock Cafe!
Miracle Drug rocked the house for over 2 hours, with many swingin’ to the music (oh oh oh oh oh). During their 2nd set, they donned Bono’s Signature Series Edun LIVE shirt.
Thanks to everyone who made tonight’s event a success! Check out photos from the festivities here.
It feels like a post-show hangover….so, from a very sleepy @U2 staff…g’nite y’all!
A reader who saw my U2 3D fan-demonium story asked if my cousin Kim — a music fan but not necessarily of U2 — was converted after she saw the movie. Five minutes later, I got an answer in the form of an e-mail from Kim:
When they go on tour next, I want to go!!! I really, really enjoyed the music!!! I was on the web site the next day checking out all of the albums/cd’s…. I think I am going to buy that one from 87 you told me about … I told all of my co-workers about it and a group of one of them is going to see it Saturday!! My boss might too. I want to again, because it was just so much to take in, I am ready to see it again!!! You may have converted me to a U2 fan!!!
I just couldn’t stop laughing when I read that. It always feels good to bring someone into the fold. Have you ever converted someone to U2 fandom? What was it that finally grabbed a hold of their musical soul: a CD, a movie, a concert?
Sorry to cut this short, but I have to go feed my new convert’s thirst for U2.
We’ve been having a discussion at Casa McGee for a couple weeks now about whether or not my wife (a marginal U2 fan) and son (a big fan) should even bother to see U2 3D when it gets to our little hamlet in mid-February. This article answered our question:
No 3D in ‘U2 3D’ without binocular vision
Yep. Neither my wife nor my son can see in 3D. Crazy, isn’t it? And this writer confirms that nothing’s changed with the new 3D technology.
No worries. My son will still want to go when the movie gets here. And I’ll still take him. 
I was just looking at my Last.fm user profile and noticed that I’ve listened to exactly 3,000 U2 songs since I joined Last.fm on March 10, 2006:
Last.fm says I’ve listened to 33,763 songs in that time, so my U2 intake is only 9% of the total. That seems low to me! Not that any of this really matters, of course.
Anyone else on Last.fm? What percent of your overall listening is U2?
