With or Without Bono

Well one of my concert dreams came true this week. I really wanted to get to see U2 when they came to H-Town. David and I worked hard on getting the tickets when they went on sale. We got good seats. We were excited about this date night in particular. Daddy picked me up from Meemom's for our date. Unfortunately, it took almost 2 hours to get to H-Town. The traffic was terrible, so we missed meeting up for cocktails preshow. We grabbed a quick turk sand at Texadelphia and headed to Reliant. We payed $20 to park in a Reliant lot where no one was directing traffic. There were basically no spots left. David was getting hot quickly and began crazy talking the people that worked there. We finally settled for parking illegally to get to the show.
U2 opened up with a couple of new songs and I was a little stressed. Feeling old and nervous, I waited impatiently. During my waiting Bono picked up a girl from out of the crowd and danced with her and allowed her to stay on stage for the whole song. Ummm..hello Bono did you not get the memo. I don't love the drummer anymore. He didn't age near as well as you did. I heart you. I wanted to be the girl on the stage. Oh well. I didn't have to wait long, they rocked the whole damn stadium. The roof was open and the stage set up was an over the top space ship. It was all pretty cool. David and I were so excited to meet up with Kristin and Sean at the show. We have been missing them so much! It was short but always sweet to see them. Casey and Rob came to sit with us as well. We all had an amazing time. Thanks for the pictures Kristin. I got none of my own. Until next time Bono.

The Cult

David, KC and I went to see the Cult at the House of Blues in Htown on Sunday. We dropped the girl off at Meemom's house and headed p to Htown. We had some ritas and texmex at Chuy's and then hit up the show. They rocked. They played all the old songs that we desired to hear. It took us all back to 1991 when we all three (separately)saw Lenny Kravitz open for the Cult. I will never forget getting to go to the big city for the concert. Catherine, Randall and I piled into Aunt Joan's minivan with Vince as the driver. There were more people with us but I am not exactly sure who. To protect the innocent and guilty my reminiscing will stop there. Let's just say I was grounded for like a month after this night. KC was super young and I am not sure how mom ever let him go. He went with Zak. Mom always thought Zak was so responsible. David didn't even recall going. I remembered that he went. He touched Lenny's dreadlocks that night. He talked about it for years. But after 18 years his memory faded a little bit. He was stoked to remember. Good times...Good times. And coming up in October are two of my ALL TIME FAVES-The Allman Brothers and U2
