U2!!

Micah and I just got back from the U2 concert this morning. We drove to Cardiff yesterday, which is the capitol city of Wales. What should have taken 3 1/2 hours ended up taking almost 6!! It was a long car ride. Cardiff was PACKED with concert goers. We couldn't even get a hotel room. We ended up staying at the Cardiff University dorm rooms. We all got our own rooms with a single bed. It was just like being in college again. When we got to Cardiff we met up with some friends and headed to a pre-concert dinner. We had some amazing Thai food which always puts a smile on my face. We then headed to Millennium Stadium which holds 72 thousand people! And yes, it was pretty much a packed house. We skipped the opening acts on purpose because they were kind of lame. We were hoping that the Black eyed Peas would open because there were rumors...but no:(. When U2 did come on it was incredible! They played for at least a full 2 hours. They hit all the classics and rocked out some news ones too. Even though Micah and I aren't huge U2 fans that follow them every tour, we still really enjoy their music. It was their last concert in Europe for quite a while as they are headed to the States for a bit, so it was nice to see them off. All in all a great experience. Micah and I have not been to a concert together for quite some time and this was just what we needed!

Looks like you had fun! And it looks like it was super packed!

(linda writing on bill's account) I kind of think U2 maybe even topped the Gaither Vocal Band at the NWWF on Friday.

As for humor? Jen, you are always a winner! Perhaps Micah just has not learned what good humor is! Love you always.
