heyyyohhh

Cutting for Stone - Abraham Verghese The Boleyn Inheritance - Philippa Gregory

Isn't that the truth. It's my cell phone alarm tone. So it wakes me up every morning :) Oh and I'm seeing them again in July! This time in the New Meadowlands Stadium :)

The first night of Giants Stadium there was a bit of rain which fortunately went away and didn't turn into a full blown thunderstorm. When it started raining these umbrella things sprouted over Larry's drum set and over Adam and Edge's stuff. So yeah, they'll play through the rain lol

Pearl Jam and La Roux

When signals cross, I wanna put a little straight on it ... Just a little obsessed with The Fixer at the moment.

Nah, floor tickets aren't 'special tickets'. Yes it's basically a first come first serve deal in getting into the pit. I was one of many floor ticket holders who started lining up outside the stadium in the morning. Someone at the front of the line took down our names and wrote numbers on our wrists so that noone would cut us in line during the day. You wait for a few hours (and get a nasty sunburn, in my case) and when the stadium opens for the floor ticket holders (I think it was 4:30/5 for us at Giants), you RUN or speedwalk as fast as you can to the spot you want. I could've gone into the inner pit, but because I'm so short, I probably would've gotten a painful crick in my neck (the stage was high) by the end of the night if I had tried for front row(people ahead of me beat me to it). Front row of the outer pit was much better for me, I was able to see past the tall people in the inner pit and could see the huge screen better.

The first night I had seats in the upper tier, first row, right in the middle. The band came in and out through the tunnel right under me. I don't think there's a bad seat in the house, and since you're in the upper tier, you'll be able to see and appreciate the fullness of the Claw and the light effects. It's a totally different, but awesome, view from being on the floor. The second night I was on the floor. First row of the outer pit, towards Edge's side. Glad I was in that spot because the moving bridges stopped in front of us a few times (as shown by some of my pics :) ) Where are you seeing them? I'm sure you'll have an awesome time!

I went both nights last week at Giants Stadium. My first time seeing U2 (and Muse! <3) and I'm itching to go to another U2 concert. And Muse for that matter when they do their tour. I can understand now why so many people spend so much dough on traveling and tickets for U2; once is not enough! It really is something else when you're there in person! Had a fabulous time (and a horrible tan lol) Here are my pics and my videos from Giants Stadium. As for SNL, I watch almost every week and I was really hoping it'd be funny, but it just wasn't. U2 was the saving grace. They played With or Without You also for the audience. I wish they would've shown that.

Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin I just finished this today. How are you liking it so far?

Love this show, though sometimes it can be a bit gratuitous. I've only seen S1 and S2. I know it's supposed to be about Henry/JRM, but I'm more about Henry Cavill :D Mmm.

I just finished reading Ken Follett's World Without End and now I'm reading Cormac McCarthy's The Road and Ariana Franklin's Mistress of the Art of Death This is one of the few books I read in its entirety at Barnes & Noble lol I think it took me two visits to finish.

That's sweet :) And thanks for the reminder that I still haven't bought this book! btw - I like your sig. TATE rocks. I wanted to see them in October but tix are sold out :(

Check out http://www.u2gigs.com/ for the setlists. As for videos, YouTube user u2006com has pretty nice ones. Lucky you, everyone who's been to the concerts so far!

Denise, thanks for sharing your pictures and the video! I can't wait to have this same experience. September can't come soon enough!

Sean, I have seats behind the stage at Giants for the Friday show, 3rd level, 1st row. If you go to the U2 website and look at the stage design, it's supposed to be open all around. So I don't think your view will be obstructed in any way.
