U2 at Solider Field.

Last night Julie and I headed to Solider Field for the U2’s 360.  The ‘show’ was pretty amazing.  The stage and the crazy lighting/screen system was unbelievable.  At certain points during the show I got the feeling that the whole stadium was spinning instead of the screen.

Bono’s voice/singing wasn’t really there.  Not sure what it was but it seemed like it was half effort.

Side Note:

* Getting out of Solider Field after a show is a complete nightmare.  I can’t possibly express how futile it was.  Not sure what the expect next Sunday.

** I’ve hit the point in my life where I need a seat for a concert if there’s more than 6,000 people in the venue.  Standing in General Admission isn’t for me any more.

*** It is not socially acceptable to call your friend (or you entire address book) during a concert and hold your phone up.  There are so many things wrong with this I don’t know where to being:

  1. The person you are calling can’t hear shit.
  2. Odds are you’re call isn’t getting through since you’re surrounded by 60,000 other people.
  3. If it does get through your friend doesn’t want 7 voicemail’s of your U2 experience, if they did they’d be at the show.

Holiday (extended) Weekend.

Bears - Saints at Solider Field.

Julie dresses as a Ninja whenever it’s cold out.Da Bears!Julie and Nik in the cold wondering why we bought these tickets in August.

For our first New Years in Chicago Julie and I headed to the Bears game on Sunday.  When we bought the tickets this summer we assumed this would be at least a decent game.  The game was all but meaningless, No Reggie Bush, No Brian Greise, No Rex Grossman.

Turkey preparation:  Cajun Rub.The backyard.The Result.

On New Years day during a 12 hour football watching marathon James engineered one hell of a Turkey Fry.  In less than an hour we had one of the better turkey’s ever tasted.
