Back in 2006, in the span of four months, I attended both the opening of Apple’s flagship store in NYC and U2′s book signing. At U2′s book signing, I thought one of the members of the press looked familiar, and I made a mental note to go and check my Apple Store opening day photos to see if he was there as well. It’s been about five years, so I guess it’s time to do that.

How ironic: U2 is holding a free concert in Berlin to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. MTV, which is organizing the concert, erected a 2-meter tall metal barrier “wall” to prevent those without tickets from seeing the concert.
The music network MTV, which organized Thursday’s concert, said it worked with the local promoter, the city and Berlin police to install a temporary fence “around the site to ensure the safety and security of the attendees at the event as well as residents and businesses in the area.”
I guess the original Berlin Wall was erected to ensure the safety and security of the residents and businesses in the area?

In late September, in support of their book, U2 by U2, U2 had three book signings, one each in Dublin, London, and New York City. At each signing, 150 U2.com subscribers were invited via a lottery, and 100 others were allowed in via other means. I was one of the lucky ones in NYC.
