U2 Conference

NEW @U2 FAN ALERT: A CONFERENCE ABOUT U2 IN MAY 2009
August 20, 2008
posted by: m2
For a U2 fan, sitting in the GA line for 10 hours talking with fellow fans about U2 is almost a spiritual experience. Something great happens when U2 fans get together like a big tribe - we debate the band's accomplishments and missteps, and nothing goes un-analyzed.

How'd you like to do something like that for three days? (But without all the sitting outside.)

The first academic conference on U2 is planned for May 13-15, 2009, in New York city. Called U2 - The Hype and The Feedback, the conference will feature presentations and panel discussions on all aspects of U2's career -- their music, their outside work, and their influence. Speakers already committed include Anthony DeCurtis of Rolling Stone and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum Curator Jim Henke, among others. Additional speakers, and the conference agenda, will be announced at a later date.

@U2 is proud to be a Media Partner for this unique event, which is presented by Cedarville University. We invite you to use the link below to learn more, and we'll see you in New York next spring!

So I doubt U2 or anyone associated with them had anything to do with this, hopefully these dates don't coincide with the dates of the New York shows, that would just be shitty timing...

And we'll hate the tour even more because of another ticket fiasco.
