Knitting+U2

So...the concert was amazing! And no, I didn't take this picture...I got it from the official U2 website. Go visit for lots of cool stuff about the tour.
Seriously though, I could go see them over and over and over. There is something so timeless about their music. And boy, have they aged well. Sexy Irish boys that they are. Ahhh...what a good show. I'm so bummed though, because I brought my camera, but my brother in law thought you couldn't take them into the concert. So I left it in the car at the light rail station, and of course everyone else in the arena had their cameras, arrgh! So, I'm going to attempt to download a picture off of my cell phone. (which I have never been able to do by the way!)

Nope...didn't work,so you get a picture of the picture on my cell phone. It's of me knitting...at the concert! I didn't care that I was getting weird looks, obviously I put it away when the concert started. I'm having a hard time coming up with the words to describe the set...it was SO cool. The stage was a big elipse that went out into the crowd, people were standing in and outside of the circle. (one of my friends actually was about 4 people back from the outside circle, which means that she was a few feet from the band!) I on the other hand was up in the nosebleeds...but that's ok. I've seen them before, at previous concerts, up close and personal, so I was ok with our seats. The cool thing about all of the people sitting in the higher seating was that you had a better view of the light show. I keep thinking that they can't top the stuff that they did on the last tour...but they always do! There were 6 big curtains of light bulbs (i'm sure they weren't bulbs, but that's what they looked like to me) that would come down during certain songs and flash different images and words across them. It was cool because even when they had them all down, the people in the back could still see. I'm not doing it justice...suffice it to say that it was one of the best shows that I've ever seen. I highly recommend seeing them sometime in your lifetime.
Now, I'll always remember that I was knitting on my Clapotis at a U2 concert, ha!
