MAGNIFICENT!

It's been a while since my last post, for a good reason.  After school and work ended, me and my brother and sister headed to one of our favorite cities: Denver, Colorado.  This great city is home to the Avalanche, Outlaws, Rockies, and Broncos, which is usually a good enough reason for my family to visit, but this time it was more than awesome sporting events that had us hopping on a plane.  Denver was to be the lucky city for the re-opening of U2's 360 North American tour.  And we were beyond excited. 

This whole journey started clear back in 2009, when U2 announced the tour.  We quickly purchased tickets to the Las Vegas concert at Sam Boyd Stadium.  Then they announced more cities, which included our beloved vacation spot Denver, Colorado.  We knew it was going to be an awesome concert, because anyone who's anyone knows that no one puts on a better concert than U2.  So we made plans to get tickets to the Denver concert as well.  So, as luck would have it they continued to announce even more cities they would be performing in, and Salt Lake City Utah popped up on that list!  Well, of course we had to attend the concert in our own hometown, so we also purchased tickets to that concert as well.  That's right my friends...3 concerts in 3 different cities!  We were ecstatic!  Some may call us crazy fanatics, but I instead like to think of us as dedicated and loyal fans :)

We rocked out at the Vegas concert in Oct of '09.  The Denver and Salt Lake concerts were set for May and June of '10, so we had some time to recuperate and get our voices back.  Sadly however, Bono hurt his back, had to have surgery, and cancelled all remaining concerts on the tour.  We were devastated!  It was supposed to be my last big adventure before going back to school. 

Luckily the surgery went well, and all concerts were rescheduled for 2011.  So, that is where we found ourselves.  Originally the Denver and Salt Lake concerts were a few weeks apart, but with the rescheduled dates, SURPRISE!!!  They were now merely a few days apart!  Which didn't bother us at all!  We had a blast, and in my own highly un-biased opinion, I think that they were well worth the wait!





This pic is a shout out to our favorite couple at the Salt Lake concert, Elmer and his wife.  They were taking pics of each other literally like every two minutes. I think they were really excited, but somehow their mouths didn't get the message. Instead of smiles,  it looked a little something like this!  Thanks for the good times Elmer :)
