San Jose, the last show until Sept.

It was a such an odd day. We got 3 hours sleep that night. We got up early to help our chances for a good spot in the ticket line. We got there around 10am to find a spot behind 50 people. We saw some people we knew and that helped the time pass. Around 12 they told us tickets would go on sale at 5. So we waited. We decided if no GA tickets were available we wouldn't go. We had no food, no drinks, just an apple. Around 3:30 there was excitement over the Vertigo plane flying over us. At 5 the line finally started moving. We got news only seats behind the stage were left. No GAs! There was a dark moment. A quiet , dark moment. Then out of no where someone shouts "I GOT GA!" It was the light at the end of the tunnel. We finally got to the front of the line, got two GAs, and walked away screaming.

Surprises, friends, birthday wishes, and all in San Jose.

Traveling by car to San Jose from San Diego for a weekend might sound crazy. The weekend turned out to be wonderful. We got to the JT show late. Silly me forgot to pack some stuff so a run to the store was called for. But the rain didn't slow us down and we finally got there. The guy at the gate was so funny, he said to me "We have U2 inside." Chicaedge and I both said "We know." at the same time. He looked scared. Anyways, it was crazy when we got inside. The greeting I got was so sweet. I will forever remember that moment perfectly.
I wish someone had a birthday every show.
