Well, after weeks of polling, research, and price-juggling, we are announcing
the second A Sort of Homecoming...

A SORT OF HOMECOMING 99
July 22 - 25, 1999
New Orleans, Louisiana

Spend four-days and three-nights with U2 fans from all over the country in the
Crescent City, home of the French Quarter, Anne Rice, and, of course, the
Superdome, site of New Orleans' PopMart!

WHAT IS THIS?
Homecoming is a gathering for any U2 lover who wants to hang out with other U2
fans. Basically, we'll be hanging out, sharing stories and pictures, having a
super dinner/dance, and partying like rock stars.

THE HOTEL
The hotel is the Hyatt Regency New Orleans, and it is fantastic! It got great
reviews from people who had been to similar gatherings at this hotel before.
The hotel staff has been fantastic to work with so far, and they gave us a
really sweet deal.

THE COST
Hotel is $130 a night (single, double, triple or quad), plus tax.

Registration is in three shifts:
$55 - early-early-die-hard-U2-lover registration (on or before Dec. 23)
$70 - early registration (on or before May 7)
$75 - regular registration (on or before June 11)

Your registration fee includes:
        � a great banquet with dinner and dancing
        � a supercool A Sort of Homecoming 99 t-shirt
        � your Homecoming99 laminate
        � other possible surprises
