Well MTV Awards being in Dublin seems to be happening. Saw this article in

More on the Interscope Deal

>From Rolling Stone Online

Really Random Notes on U2, Motley Crue
While still not saying whether U2 will defect to Interscope or not, Island
Records' U.K. managing director Marc Marot told Billboard Bulletin that the
deal -- alleged or otherwise -- would only apply to North America.

He also confirmed that discussions between the Irish superstars'
representatives and Interscope have taken place, but says that nothing has
been decided. As a caveat, Marot added that U2 is signed to Island U.K. for
the world, and they would remain there -- any deal for North America would
strictly be a licensing arrangement.

>From Today's Irish Times article on Boy George

George also confessed to feelings for U2's Larry Mullen jnr. "I really fancy
the drummer from U2," he once said. "I'll stay home with him any night."
Larry's views on the matter are unrecorded, but George's feelings are unlikely
to have been reciprocated.

Re Larry and Bono buying the soccer club. It was denied by Principle
Management that this was taking place. Though of course, official
denials/confirmations should be taken with a grain of salt.

my appreciation to everyone for informing us of the reasons for zooropean's
4-month delay (8/5 to 12/5) in getting out the goodie bags.
