On successfully negotiating to get U2 to play in your backyard. Now we know how much power you have. I suppose you'll be renting out tent space?  :D

hahaha.

Aaron: "dear U2.  please play my backyard"
U2:  "your boss has blocked the only venue in Halifax hosting the Canada Winter Games, making the usual concert space unusuable"
Aaron: "dear U2.  play Moncton instead.  if you build it they will come.  and make it the end of the tour."
U2:  "see you in Moncton."

It's been a bit crazy here.  I've been interviewed on News 95.7 twice, and on CBC Radio once.  I was approached to talk about U2 with the Chronical Herald newspaper, but couldn't before their deadline, and I turned down one other radio station for an interview.

Today, eight years after i bought my car, my car salesman called to see if i had an inside track on getting tickets.  Eight years later!!

The maritimes have gone a bit U2 crazy...
