Viva Las Vegas!

What a crazy weekend. 2 U2 shows, 2 Joshua Tree shows, and no sleep in between. Chica goes ahead(because we agreed to wait in line in shifts) and when she gets to the MGM they tell everyone wrist bands will be handed out at 8am. I get a phone call at 6:59am from a frantic Chica yelling "they are handing out wrist bands at 8! GET DOWN HERE!" Janelle and I get down there, in line, by 7:32. Thank God traffic was light.


The MGM was all U2y out. U2 music playing in valet. Everywhere we looked you could see them.

We wait until 10:45ish and tickets go on sale. We get perfect seats right behind the stage! It was the most beautiful view... hehe.






Wow, Edge is from another world!















At the end of the show, we ran into Bono... haha.
