Tanja this is a U2 guy..I have him on tape at Tech TV special for U2 and he also has a place on U2's web site Willie's diaries...I might be effed up but I do believe he has designed there sets for 20 years....and I think he's done stuff for other people like the Stones...correct me out there people if I messed up...I don't know who the babe is but I would suspect she is trying to get to our boys!!!!! ha ha...my question... who's Clay? You know this could possibly be Wendy or Wendy's friend?

From: Slateblue on 2001-12-20 09:23:09
Well, I guess for us Edge huns with exquisite taste it's kinda hard to believe that there's people outside who deliberately go for second best! Hihihiiiii....

From: Elevationangel on 2001-12-21 15:56:20
yes tanja you are so right! I feel like I have a ton of new friends here! thanks for accepting me, i love being here. I want to wish merry christmas to everyone my edge bunny triple metioned, with a special wish to edge and adam, my two fave guitarists on the planet... I think this is an appropriate time to post my story...(HV I am so sorry i dont have you in this babe, I didn't know you when i wrote it!=) forgive me?) alright it's long but here it is....It was a cold and wet December day when the girls finally met. After many long distancecalls and plane tickets they had met in the House of Pies to talk and then go see their boys. Aftertwo or three hours of chatting, laughing, and piles of film they made their way toward theStaples Center, their U2 church for the night. Eva had been practicing for this night for years,only with the hope to play with her one and only man. Armed with signs of “Light my way” “AllI want is Edge” and “You never lost the job” the girls trucked on through the alleys ofDowntown La. At the ticket door they had a little trouble.Scg: please let us in with the signsticket checker: I’m sorry ma’am but you’ll have to take those back to the car.Scg: You don’t understand (she quickly tells a readers digest version of our little meeting, andslips a $20)ticket checker: in that case... alright you can go throughgirls : THANK YOU!After buying their t-shirts , they go to find their place in the tip of the heart, Bono will be therethe most of course and Edgey too.After a beautiful rendition of In a Little While with Eva screaming her lungs out in thebackground(it’s her favorite song) and All I Want is You, the opening riffs begin...Bono: Johnny take a walk with your sister the moon, let her pale light in to fill up the room,you’ve been living underground, eating from a can, you’ve been running away from what youdon’t understand.Scg begins to shake and scream like a 13 year oldEva: You ok babe?Scg: NO ! LOOK AT THAT MAN MOVE!!! Eva: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBono begins to shimmy his bonbon towards the pack of girls surrounding the heart, Scg looksinto the mysterious blue eyes and falls apart. Wait what is this? He’s holding his hand out to her,she grabs it gently and he pulls her on stage, she quickly motions to the other girls and he nodshis head. The security let’s the rest of the girls up while Eva, triple, and sarah quickly make theirway to their goateed bunny. As Bono sings in his gruff voice “ If you wanna kiss the sky youbetter learn how to kneel, On your knees boy” he starts to bow to Scg and kiss her feet, while shetakes the opportunityto show off a little of her dancing style in a silver sequined halter top andblack leather pants, the crowd laughs because as she turns around Bono thinks out loud, a littletoo loud. “Ooo that’s nice” Scg turns a bright red and milks it for all it’s worth. Meanwhile, Evahas been doing a little amateur belly dancing for Edge, who let’s out one of his shy smiles andwhispers in her ear, “Not bad, not bad at all” He also notices that she’s been singing his harmonylines and pushes her in the direction of the mike. At the same time, Bono let’s Scg have her turnin the spotlight, the girls sing together on opposite sides of the stage, “It’s alright, It’s alrightalright she moves in Mysterious ways...” While still dancing together during a bridge Bono slipsScg a backstage pass, only saying “ I wanna see you after the show.” Being the considerate girlshe is she again motioned to her friends, Bono said calmly with a sly smile “ Sure why not, Edgeseems to be having a good time.” he chuckles at the circle of girls dancing around Edge, himbeaming from ear to ear. Bono blows a kiss to Scg as she and the rest of the girls are broughtoffstage. They are all high off the sound of music, giggling like schoolchildren, half dreamingand drooling all at the same time. They sway, they cry , they jump up an down like idiots, thetypical things to do at concerts. All the girls start to get all choked up when Walk One begins,Bono: And if your glass heart should crack, and for a second you look back, oh no, be stroonngg,oao oao Walk onnnn, Walk oonnn, What you’ve got they can’t deny it can’t sell it or buy it walkon walk ooonnn, stay safe tonight...A little later...Audience: Heartache Heartaaaaache , Heartache , Heartaaaache, Heartache Heartaaaaache,Heartache .....This is when, biting her tongue for what now seems 3 or 4 hours, scg whispers in every girlsear...Scg: Triple where going backstage...Triple: What! You mean, you mean OH MY GAWD (whereas she plows into scg with a gianthug and will not let go)Boomcha: You mean I’m actually going to meet HIM THEE BUTT? Eva just starts welling up and forgets she ever had a life besides this night.Tanja: I can’t believe it! I can’t believe it!Each girl responds in about the same fashion, either eternally grateful, or about to have a heartattack.After the show, they all rush to the backstage and Scg quickly grabs her backstage pass. Security: I can’t let the rest of you through...Scg: But Bono told me I can bring them...Just then a sweaty, black haired Irish men peeks his head through the curtain“ Baby is that you? Hey sugar! Yea, it’s ok let um all in...”The girls hold back their delight with eternal squeals and screaming.Once backstage, they walk past dressing rooms, benches, sound equipment, people movingEdge’s many guitar, mikes, drumsticks, followed by Larry’s pearl set of course, and just thenEva knocks into half the girls’ delight.Eva: Oh excuse me I’m sorryEdge: Hello sweetling! No problem, it’s too crowded back here in my opinion. How are you?Eva:( stuttering) I’m fine thank you...Edge: Hey girls, I would like to introduce myself, I am the Edge, better known by postal workersas Dave Evans... And you are?Eva: My name is Eva, oh By the way, thank you for being the greatest guitarist on the planet.(Whereas Edge blushes like a small child)Scg: Hello, I’m Soul Cat Girl, and I think I can safely say I run this crewTanja: Hey I’m TanjA! (At this point she jumps back in surprise because Bono has stuck hishead into the little circle, ran his fingers through his hair and given one of his unforgettable sexysmiles)Bono:( In a foxy Irish lit) Hey ladies, If you’ll follow me, I’ll lead you to our little “hangout”spot.( He motions for them to come and they all follow like rats after a pied piper, mesmerizedand happy) He then leads them to a musical Heaven...black and white leather couches are strewnthroughout a low lit room, candles in one corner, guitars in another, they walk in and all theireyes suddenly light up, Larry sits in a chair his unbuttoned shirt showing half his well tonedchest, while Adam smiles, plucking out a few chords, while saying, “Bono, who are these lovelygirls you bring into my presence?”“ Oh be quiet, these are the girls I danced with tonightremember? I thought they were cute, so I brought them back to talk” “Oh I see...well ladies havea seat.” Adam says playfully patting the seat next to him on one of the white couches, since Evasees that Edge has taken chair by himself she goes and sits by her favorite bass player. Scg,quickly goes and sits on Bono’s lap to the obvious pleasure of Bono. Triple and Sarah go take aseat on the chair and footrest directly adjacent to Edge’s for obvious reasons. Tanja took a seaton the floor almost under Bono’s feet, Slateblue happily finds a nice silk rug to sit on and leanson Edge’s chair, while Boomcha and Larryluva plop gracefully onto the couch next to blondebeauty himself who is doing the thing he does best(other then drumming) READING!Bono: did you enjoy the show?Scg: Spectacular would be an understatementlarryluva: Larry you look..uh sound amazing Larry looks up from his book surprised: why thank you *who actually looks genuinely happy tobe complimented*Bono even laughs at the rarityBono whispers in Scg’s ear: You danced beautifully tonight, cute shirt by the way love...Scg: thanks, you weren’t so bad yourself (she then steals his favorite camo cap and puts it ongiggling) Scg doesn’t realize but Eva has pulled something out of her jacket and is passing it around to theband to read, Adam has been laughing his head off for the last 10, Larry smiling all the whilewhich is a miracle in and of itself)Bono: what’s so funny?Adam: You have to read these, the pretty lady on your lap wrote the most hysterical storiesinvolving the girls and us! Bono: My goodness, a good dancer and a writer(squeezing one of her love handles) hand umover... ( Adam chucks the 3 inch think book at Bono, aiming for the head, Bono catches it in midair...)Scg: No wait! Oh damn it why not. *muttering* oh little bunny your gonna get itEva smiles slyly knowing Scg will thank her in the end...Bono begins to read aloud to the amusement of the entire company....Bono:*ring ring ring* Tanya: hello Bono: hello Ms Tanja? Tanja: yes whom is speaking? Bono: This is Bono of U2.... Tanja: Ok very funny...is this Matt? Hey quit foolin around I have a massive head ache and mybig toe hurts like hell and my cat has the poops... Bono: Umm no hold it..this IS Bono..I'm not messin with you, honest... Tanja: WHAAAAT!!!!!!pants and hick-ups...breaths like a marathon runner and starts gulpingfor misplaced oxygen... ( At this point Bono looks in Tanja’s direction and smiles although she had turned a tomato redat the first sentence and looks as though she’s going to die of embarrassment) A Little LaterBono:Bono: ummm yeah just the way I luv it..ummm ...(smiling sexy and handsome he stares intoTanja's eyes with a blue fire hotter than any desire every felt and sipp'in on cool whitesustanance)... Tanja: (licking the length of each finger in a slow methodic sweeps she stared hypnotized intothe eyes of a stormy blue sea and relished the feeling of drowning all over again .. breathless andcraving more..she swallowed the thick lump in her throat and chocked out.)..How is your peanutbutter and jelly sandwich?... Bono: Thee Best no better have I ever had ...I'm not messin ... your hired forever....(he leans inand takes a bite of her finger and nibbles it smiling...).. Tanja: Gaaawd I luv my job..... And-thats-what-MsTanja's-all- about...grrr Is that what Miss Tanja is all about, why my goodness me. What do you say Adam, do you thinkI have a little more of an effect on these girls then I even think?Adam rolls his eyes: Read one about Edge, now those are greatEdge: Yea ( he blushes as he looks at Triple and Eva, both being so surprised they fall out oftheir chairs giggling)Bono: oh all right,Slate finished her beautiful aria and waved to the capacity crowd as they cheered and stompedtheir enthusiastic approval...the stadium was one big roar...Triple who had sponsored the specialbirthday gala tearfully hugged her dear friend thanking her for the millionth time for coming tohelp out.... she'd been in dire need 6 hours ago after a very groggy sounding Whitney Houstoncancelled at the last freak'n minute due to sudden illness and she was left without aperformer...As it turned out Triple was tickled pink to have gotten her friend who was a biggerstar to fly in and save her ass from a sure fire disaster!!! As Triple quiped backstage before theywent on her motto from here on out was going to be..."here's triple screws out to all theWhitney's of the world!' gesturing with significant relish she flagged her finger in the direction ofinvisible pampered stars that entered her realm'....Slate smiled at her friend and giggled toherself remembering Triples playful antics backstaged and felt happy to have helpedout...Hugging her one last time Triple took the mic as Slate left the stage and headed toward theparking garage and her waiting limo...just as she was leaning into the open car door a soft malevoice caused her to pause mid flight...the fine hairs on the back of her neck arose to spinetingling attention..slowly straightening she turned to the darkened corner so deep in shadow allshe could detect were the tips of a pair old white Nike sneakers...damn she knew those feetensconced in them intimately...a sense of panic seized her but something else something shedidn't want to define stirred ... as she lived and breathed she knew this day would come...still shewasn't ready yet .. how could she be when it was all so awful and hurtful and as fresh as that daytwo years ago...no she wasn't ready yet.... was she? Gawd she'd let her guard down and here shewas feeling vulnerable as hell... Semi-reflected in the hazy diminished light the shoes along withthe body emerged walking towards her...'Hello Blue'..his voice sounded reluctant, almost flat atired quality to it ... as he stepped closer she could see his face reflected the sound.. looking a bithaggard he looked like he'd not slept in a week though his clothes all rumpled and wrinkledlooked like that’s exactly what he'd been doing in them.... something twisted in her heart... hissmile held regret and a wariness entered his eyes as he asked "How are you?"...She looked to theground swallowing down the lump of hurt and said "Fine..I ..I.. .I'm doing great" she hoped theoverly bright fake smile she cast at him covered up her nervous stammers....evidently not as hissmile turned genuine and slightly amused making her feel it was at her expense irritating hermadly... before he could utter a word she snapped " What are you doing here?" The smiledisappeared and he stepped closer into her space..eye to eye nose to nose breath upon breath hegrowled from deep inside his throat.." I'm here because I need you dov " his eyes looked at hermouth.."I need your breath your air I need your body but mostly I need you...damn it !." his voiceturning ragged and broken.. " I need all of you .. I can't cope without you in my life!"...Slate feltthe ground roll and sway beneath her feet and instantly reached for security in the set of armsthat in the past had always been rock stable always there for her but had been glaring absent forso long ..too long... wrapping herself around his shoulders and broad back she arched into himburying her face in his neck without conscious thought....his neck smelled of spicy sandalwoodand of a familiar oh so familiar man... she thought she must have made a sound because his armsimmediately circled her slender waist lifting her more tightly into his embrace nuzzling andsending little butterfly kisses in the crook of her neck just below her ear ...her love spot...shestopped breathing as time suspended its heavy pendulum...... When Blue suddenly leaped into his arms from sudden fright oblivious to the rumbling heavyequipment trucks shaking the sh-- out of the place it had shocked him... his first thought was toexplain about the trucks but the minute she'd made that familiar little whimper in the pocket ofhis neck he was a goner and he damn well knew it ...so why fight it...after all this was what he'dcome crawling back for..wasn't it? To have her at his side again?..to have her in his arms..to haveher needing him once again... hell she'd stopped needing him when she become more famousthan U2!..What she needed was beyond his kin? But he was going to try anyway.... Bono: DAMN you lucky dog!Edge proceeds to start rolling on the floor laughing and pointing at Bono saying “ I told you theylike me more!” in his antics he bowls into triple and sarah who catch the goateed beauty in theirarms. then giving slate a affectionate kiss on the cheek he whispered “ Sometimes I wish I couldmake stories come true. Don’t tell Morleigh I said that ” Slate then proceeds to faint quickly asall the edge bunnies turn that certain grinchy shade of greenBono: oh shutup and sit downEdge had already stolen the “soap opera” Eva episode to give to Blue Angel because of her newpuppy but Adam was attempting to snatch it out of his hand. While all this was going on Larrywas still reading his book, periodically looking up to say, “ What time is it?” “Huh?” or “ I needa Guiness” Despite his disinterest in the whole situation, Larrluva’s eyes light up every time hemoves, just watching his arms glisten in candlelight is like heaven for the young blonde girl, aswell it should be. (Luv ya mac)Adam: Let me read it!Eva looks over at Edge with a pleading look of “No please don’t” but it’s too late Adam hassnatched the piece of paper, and begun reading.She reaches over his neck and tries to grab it out of his hand.Eva: Don’t read it out loud!Adam: alright alright....Adam starts to chuckle and once he’s done looks in Eva’s direction with an honest to goodnesssignature grin and says , “ that is probably the sweetest story that I’ve ever heard. Not quite asromantic as the others, but definitely sweet.” He nudges the tomato red faced brunette next to him as Edge blows her a kiss and she catches itwith all the delight of a young heart.Bono and Scg have been talking about miscellaneous things for a long time now, while Edge andEva play “In A little while”and he shows her how to do the knee thingy(lol) with triple, sarah,and boomcha listening intently, too bewitched by the gentle hands and soft lips to notice thatLarry has been teaching Larryluva the “real” way to play drums. Over in Another corner Adammixes drinks and is looking very fatherish like he always does. Ok ok i know it's not done, but hello look how long it is! I'm geting off of school today for winter break and hopefully i will just FINISH it today. but i wanted to get some of it posted, it's been naggin at me. Anyway, I will get it up, and it's kinda a merry christmas gift to all my new friends! <3 for eva and eva-mel
