Did you take a pic?  I’m a hour away from SD was hoping to see if worth driving down there??  Gas lamp such a busy friken area, parking alone 

I did take a pick, but I did not download it, I forgot to. Hopefully I will see it in the billboard on Monday?  As I stated earlier there was not one sign of a truck or U2 lyric at the pinned location, and I was literally standing on top of it.  I guess I should have checked things out Friday, but as you said The Gaslamp would have been bonkers on St. Pats. I wouldn't bother driving down here. You wouldn't like the empty feeling driving home. I wish the people running this had posted hours when they were at the spot or something, instead of just not being their.

I had planned a visit to Brussels today so I had the opportunity to stop by concert venue Ancienne Belgique where the lyrics of "Miracle Drug" were put up. I was able to access the photo filter and upload my photo to the virtual fan board. The shop was just a link to the EU U2 shop.

I just tried visiting the SF installation in Dolores Park - it was not there! I was able to unlock the filter, but not upload the photo...

Anyone at San Diego?

We went on both Friday and Saturday afternoon, spent 4+ hours driving, walking, and sitting watching traffic.  Did not see anything.  Have friends there now (Sunday) giving it one last try.  So far, they have not found anything.  Our song must be "Invisible." ;)

San Francisco Dolores Park still had no video / lyric truck or anything to be seen, but we were enticed into spending more on merchandise and were able to post to the board after a few attempts! Fun time either way, just glad we didn’t go there just for that, as I have some work in the area coincidentally! Cheers U2 and fans!

Went to the Vancouver flag zone. Was underwhelming sadly and the site link wouldn’t open the exclusive Vancouver merchandise. But had a nice walk while listening to the amazing new album.

Thought this was a great idea and created a real buzz when it was announced particularly if you lived in or near one of the cities. From my nearest city (Glasgow) I thought it was really poorly executed. All we had was an electronic billboard advertising the album. Link to merch didn't work when on site. No song lyrics or mural's on any building's. Feels like a missed opportunity to me particularly when some of the other cities look fantastic.
