U2

I recently had the opportunity to go to the U2 extravaganza in Philadelphia.  The makeup concert from 2 years ago- the 360 tour.  The tickets were an early birthday present form my sister and it was the best concert EVER!  I think there were 70,000 people there.  The stage could be seen from all sides of Lincoln Financial field.  there was a circular LED screen that towered over the stage and the digital images and camera work made it certain that everyone could have a great view of the band.

My favorite part was when Gabrielle Gifford's husband got on the screen and introduced the song "Beautiful Day" from up in the space shuttle.  That was really special. My daughter got the whole concert experience because we were siting close by a girl that threw up and an obnoxious guy that smoked a joint and practically had intercourse with his girlfriend after starting a verbal battle with the guy next to him.  Those two were not in the same group by the way.  We truly had a great time and we laughed at the A-holes next to us and just focused on the show! 

The concert tickets my sister gave us was one of the best birthday presents ever.  My very best present ever was when she  threw me a party for my 21st birthday (back in the dark ages).  It was a complete and total surprise. I mean- I was about to cry because no one at college had remembered or mentioned my birthday and I was feeling very sad. One of my friends offered to take me out for a drink at the last minute and brought me over to the party.  I had the greatest time and even did a beer bong.  That is when you hold a huge funnel up and fill it beer and you have to suck it down in one swallow.  Good times!  So I did sow the wild oats in my younger days.  I guess Karma is a bitch!
