This that and the other thing. Though there might be more of this than that. And little of the other things. Maybe.

Vertigo DC Night 2

It was cold (okay so it was 59 degrees F). It was rainy. It was damp and windy. We were talking to a security guard, when this black SUV pulls in. Guard goes "What's this jackass doing?" Then the window slides down and it's Bono! Had his cowboy hat on again (arrived from the direction of the White House). He shook his head as he tapped his throat. Said "Sorry, can't stop tonight. My throat.." something along the lines of need to save his voice, his throat is sore.. Not really sure of his exact wording. But he touched his throat twice and smiled and waved.

The fact that he had his driver slow down so that he could tell us why he wasn't stopping..... it was heartwarming. The man is fantastic. Such a big heart. Generous with his fans. He could've just zoomed on in but he didn't.

The other guys just zipped on through like they did yesterday. Also the only one I positively ID'd was Adam.. Sitting in the back passenger side seat of a sedan..The car was full so maybe Edge and Larry were in there as well, not sure. Windows weren't tinted.. but there were a couple of vans that did have darkened windows.. Police escort.. One in front, one behind with sirens and lights aflashin..

Security was MUCH tighter tonight for the cars parking below the MCI Center but still lax at the door. As I was leaving the loading dock (about 6.45) I saw some secret service guys. Guess Condoleeza Rice was in the house as Bono said thanks to the Secretary of State.... And a variety of Senators and Representatives as well.

They mixed up the set list too. WOoo!!! Got Out of Control, Wild Horses, Walk On and they ended with BAD!!!! :) Bono was less chatty tonight but much more ..energetic. Bouncing and running and dancing about. Was fantastic! and he had Edge sing more of Walk On!!!! Yes, that scream yall heard was moi *grin*

Got my digital in tonight and I took LOTS of shots but can't face uploading them all tonight. I think I may be sick *cough*sneeze*coughcough* tomorrow *grin* I know if I start loading the pics, I'll just want to start tweaking them and posting them.. But I do need to do it before I leave for Pittsburgh so my memory card will be clean :)
Comments:
The police escorted cars were probably b/c of Rice....just a guess.

Drive safe.

Give me a call and let me know when you expect to arrive (work or cell).

Btw. Did I mention I hate this word verification thing...I use the word "word" verification loosely since a better name would be "random letter verification to piss off people" or rlvtpop verification - which would work as one of the "codes".
 
police escort was for the band and their entourage.. I wasn't outside when Condi et al arrived. Was just heading in to thaw out (shush!) when the Secret Service appeared.

They're not very secret tho, if they're that easily spotted. Maybe some of the "fans" at the loading dock with me were SS in disguise..

Power

hey, I'm running on little sleep, give a girl some credit! *grin* Plus Bono sang some of "People Have the Power" at the end of Bad last night. Was awesome!!!
 
So far, so good then!!! *grin* Glad you've had great experiences!! Stay safe!!
