U2 Concert, 10/14/09

Mom & Daddy came in around lunch so Mom could go to the concert with us and Daddy could take care of Gracie for us...we left as soon as Gracie was picked up from school so that we wouldn't get caught in all of the traffic and we could stop and grab a bite to eat -

here we are...arrival in the parking lot - scary self-portrait!

the crew is setting up...

...you get to see all kinds...

the roof is open at Reliant Stadium and it looks like this spaceship-looking contraption on the stage is gonna just fly right off into the night at any moment...

definitely getting more crowded...

How'd you like to have this job???

they're just dangling there in the air, operating their cameras...

Adam on guitar

Bono, of course

The Edge

all three

see...spaceship ready for liftoff!

The energy here was amazing!

Larry on drums

I can't choose between the two, but I know that I've been to the two best concerts ever in my life this year - this one and the Brad Paisley concert in the Woodlands in September. They had such energy...such a sense of community...I think we're all missing that right now. We're all moving so fast, constantly busy, but events like these make you feel like you're an important part of life's bigger picture. These events somehow brought peace. They were AWESOME!

Enjoy!
