I'm tapped into a shoddy dial-up connection up here in the North Woods, and it keeps crapping out on me, so I probably don't have very long, but I absolutely HAD to check back in with you guys since I've seen some of the rehearsed songs- :O VERY excited to see what possibilities and surprises lay ahead this leg, even if we don't hear every rehearsed song. I accessed the site on my Blackberry on the drive up, and sawthat songhad been rehearsed, and started flipping out!! I couldn't reply to any posts or listen to the YouTube video, unfortunately (Which the dial-up has given me trouble with as well- thats the whole reason I even logged in up here), but with only a few days between now and the kickoff- safe to say it's keeping my mind occupied up here
As far as vacation goes, it's been off to a less-than-great start...I'm an avid water skier up here, and on my very first lap around the lake this year, I took a terrible wipe-out, during which the ski flipped off of my foot and the one of the bottom fins of the ski (made of metal) sliced across the back of my head and gashed me completely open. Ended up in the emergency room up here, and got my head stapled closed (hurt like a BITCH, but I'm a guy, so naturally being able to say "i got my head stapled closed" is pretty cool)...so no water for the rest of the trip. Pretty bummed, but now I've got my U2 to look forward to, and I might even take a trip into town today and pick up Arcade Fire's new album.
Just wanted to check back in, share my excitement for the tour, and let you know about my battles woundsAll is well otherwise, just a few nasty headaches and head-wraps, but I'm hanging in there and actually letting some U2 shows I haven't listened to in awhile pull me through. Nothing like the healing power of a great live U2 experience, taped or in the flesh.
Love you guys!
