The Lucky Gal With The 20/20 Vision

I'm amused by my recent excess of luck. Shhh knock on wood (toc toc toc) not that i want it to leave or anything, but things keep falling into place you got to love that! :)

Last week i decided to go visit a friend. As i walked towards the door i spoted a bill, and much to my surprise it was 20 bucks!

Once inside, chatting and laughing and having a good time my friend mentioned that she was going to the U2 concert on saturday, to which the other friend responded in a harsh tone while rolling her eyes "and i have a ticket i want to get rid of!" - to which my response was "give it to me i'll buy it for 20 bucks!" - we laughed and obviously she didn't give me the ticket.

Next day i get a message on my cel phone from her asking if i wanted to buy the ticket for $50. She payed over $120 for it... when i tried getting tickets months ago they were sold out, so it was definately a done deal for me. Really if you think about it i only had a $30 dollar out of pocket expense taking in consideration that i found $20 on the ground!

The concert was a 'fantabulous' experience, i don't think it could have been better... well maybe a little closer would be good i was waaaay up high behind the american flag which hangs in a corner waaay up there! The place was packed with people - and the crowd seemed to be going wild from start to end!

U2's stage performance was as good as it could get. The lights that seemed to change colors to the mood of the songs were fascinating, often sending me into a deep trance.

Now i'm left with some pictures, a cd, and good memories from a super excitting night. Check out these pictures...

Wow! Every 'dot' you see on this picture is a head!
Not to mention that you can only see half of the place...

So it was a little hard to actually see them... but i've got good vision!

The lights were simply amazing.

When he asked us to lift up our cel phones it was incredible...
the place lit up with little cel phone screens!
