As we reported earlier, a secret show in New York City on Monday appears to be no BS; however, there does appear to be some BS about where it will take place. Let’s sort out the BS, ok?
Our source informed us that crew have been instructed to congregate at Washington Square Park at 1 pm for a secret show. We still believe that a show will be occurring at this location; however, we concede that it is possible this park could be a meeting spot only for the crew — a measure to keep the true location of the show secret. As Washington Square Park is located downtown, near the borough of Brooklyn, it is the perfect meeting spot if you were heading to a special event near the Brooklyn Bridge.
Some fans with whom U2log.com staff have a personal connection (and therefore trust) met Bono after the Saturday Night Live performance last night. They said that he whispered the secret show will be at the Brooklyn Bridge. Empire Fulton Ferry State Park is located between Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges and has been used by other artists for promotional events filmed by MTV. This park could be the true location of the secret show OR a location of a second show, which is what we suspect. There could be a caravan of performances on Monday. We’ve heard a rumor that a flatbed truck will be involved.
If you want to believe the theory that there will be a second show (or the only show!) in Brooklyn, go to 1iota.com and register for free tickets to a special event with “one of the biggest rock bands in the world.” But watch out: it might be Bon Jovi you’ll be seeing.
In short, we stand by our earlier recommendation that fans be at Washington Square Park at 1 pm. If this is only a meeting spot, the crew can lead fans to the final destination.

Rock ‘n Roll Intrigue
So, the plot has been thickening with U2’s “secret” (ha!) show. Looks more and more like it is a go – but just how many stops on the U2 train will there be tomorrow?

Why the “30” age limit? I hope it’s BS. I’m 31 and not only did I find out I’m now too old to get a working visa in Japan (something I’ve always wanted to do but never had the opportunities to be able to go until, ironically, I turned 31 this year), but I also find out U2 don’t want me at their secret show. Life is over when you turn 31.
It gets worse. U2 won’t shout me the airfare from Melbourne to New York so I won’t be able to go anyway, but it’s the principle of the matter! ;0)

Since I’m 40+ I’m sure they’ll be putting a bag over me head when I go to see them on their next tour.

As long as you’ve paid the $130+ ticket price, Caroline, I’m sure it’ll be a lovely souvenir bag with exclusive Anton Corbijn photography on the inside. ;-D
