OMOH

we started lining up outside the stadium at 06.30. got number 5. the whole U2-family is here and all set. unfortunately there are two gates for ga tickets so there will be one hell of a run. by now, about 1.30 pm there are about 150 ppl in our line. we will start to form a line as soon as they are letting ppl into the plaza near the stadium then. the area is now closed and only we who have been lining up are here. we have absolutely no info on how things are organized, pretty much like we expected. anything can happen actually. there has been one big and important turning point though, the military police OMOH giving us the official ok to stay near the stadium and allowing us to line up. the other big concern is the fact that there are no toilets here and taking a trip out to the bushes will surely get you arrested as there are thousands of police and military around. so this is actually a major issue for many of us. we're not sure we can leave our spots once we're in the pit. may be very difficult to get back then. this whole thing is so difficult and nerve wrecking. i find it difficult to understand we're actually doing this, still I know it's worth it all, a thousand times.

and suddenly very disturbing things happened. everything turned black...like a war zone. I'll write a complete story on this once I get home. probably one of the worst things that could happen actually happened. the Russian army exercised its power and enjoyed every minute of it.
