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?

I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, and I wanted to see what y’all were gonna do. (Not that if y’all were going to jump off the London Bridge, I’d join you…if you catch my drift.)

You know how to act at a U2 concert - but what do you do in the theater? Do you follow theater etiquette, or do you enjoy your fandom and let loose?

There’s a part of me who wants to stand and dance, and sing along (although, with 12,000 watts of digital surround sound coming through 44 speakers, I’m sure I’ll be drowned out). Yet, i don’t want to be considered disruptive and end up being thrown out of the theater.

What to do?

How do you plan on enjoying the film? And seriously - how many times are you planning on seeing it when it comes to your area? Will it turn into a Rocky Horror situation where people do certain things at certain points of the film?

First, I have to give props to my friend Scott for alerting me to something U2-related that I was unaware of. Not many people can do that, though many try.

And here’s the scoop: Indy Hub has scheduled a free sneak preview of “U2 3D” for 7:25 p.m. Monday, Jan. 21, at the Indiana State Museum IMAX theater in downtown Indianapolis.

Indy Hub is an organization for young professionals that promotes involvement in the Indianapolis community. And there’s certainly no better way to get me involved in the community than to invite me to a free U2 event!

Visit Indy Hub to RSVP; there’s room for 404 people. Sure, it’s a school/work night. But it’s U2! For free! Leaping out of the screen at you!

Hope to see you Hoosiers there! Now maybe I’ll find out just how many @U2 readers are in my midst. But if you can’t make it to the preview, you can still see “U2 3D” at the Indy IMAX (for a fee, of course) starting Jan. 23, according to their Web site.
