U2 Concert!


Ryan & I went to the U2 concert in their "U2 360" tour- it was so fun!  I'll warn you- all these pictures were taken on our camera phone - Ryan's camera lens wasn't allowed because it's too big.  But these work!  That's the stage behind us- before the concert started.  Black Eyed Peas opened for them.


  In the picture above you can see the huge round screen up above everyone- that thing was so cool- it's like a giant version of those little collapsible balls that you can stretch out huge or collapse it down to a small ball- except this was a round screen version!  Towards the end of the concert it 'turned into' a big space ship, because it was all streched out, & the lights were spinning all over it, etc- hard to describe, but anyway, weird!


They had these bridges that moved all over- it was cool watching him (Bono of course!) walk above all the people! 


It was of course PACKED


  We couldn't believe how late it went- we left right when it ended (I think it was midnight!  And then exiting the parking lot took a LONG time )  so weren't home 'til 1:00 a.m.!!!  HUGE thanks to Debbie's mom for babysitting- especially so late when she was leaving on an early morning flight the next day- I think she said she had an hour of sleep!  We owe you, Mom! :)  We were so glad we went though- we had a great time!  U2 is AWESOME!!!!

I am SO jealous. Glad you guys had fun! You totally deserve it. I heard they streamed the whole concert online... I'll have to check it out and pretend I was there. Did I mention I was jealous? =)
