I am absolutely stoked that the U2 concert is upon me. My wife bought me a ticket for my birthday and it has been hanging on my refridgerator door since March. We are 12 days out. I logged onto Ticketmaster to see if any more GA tickets had been released but as of right now the concert is still sold out. I came across another ticket site that had a handful of tickets at crazy prices. None of the seats listed were as good my seat and the lowest price they had was a pair of tickets at $325 a piece. They were nose bleeds (Section 303, Row BB). I’m glad that I got my ticket when I did. I’ll fly out to Dallas next Thursday evening and the concert is Saturday night. I’ll get to see some old friends so it should be an awesome weekend.

I didn’t get a chance to mention the Conan apperance. U2 did a great job and they were so funny. I loved The Edge performing in the “In the Year 2000” sketch. Classic.

Edge: In the year 2000, U2 will reveal that the Edge wears a knit cap to take people’s attention away from… Bono’s crap sunglasses.

Even funnier were the few nights after when Conan aired the U2 Secrets sketch. This sketch featured the band giving video confessions in a dark room. It looked like they were being interrogated. The “secrets” were hilarious. My favorite were these two:

Bono: I mean, we didn’t get into rock ‘n’ roll for the money. We got into rock ‘n’ roll for the things you can buy with the money.

and…

Edge: Bono hits us. (Looks around) Sometimes really hard.

If you are a U2 fan then you would have loved the show. If you aren’t a fan of U2 or Conan, I’m sorry this probably wasn’t very funny. I have left a few links below. One is the ticket site with insane prices (my ticket would probably sell for over $400) and the other 2 links are from @U2 featuring some more of the “U2 Secrets.” Enjoy. I hope you have a great day. Peace.
