At long last, its what you've all been waiting for... my 2 nights of PASSION *falls over*
Arrive at the Dome around 6.15am. Was a little bit nervous we'd walk around and find 50 billion people in front of us. We were pleasently surprised to see about 50ish people in front of each gate in a "pen" (later to be renamed "PEN A" oh yes!) We settled in for the day which sort of travelled along going 'cold cold, walk to gloria jeans, cup o tea, sit, people get ansty, move a bit, sit some more, sun comes OH NOOOO, Ivan the friendly secuirty guard is happy, then sad, then has mini breakdown, man buy stamp and stamps us all with a target (how appropriate!) wait wait, sit in the sweat den, try to sleep, no sleep, chicken burger, wait some more, hot TOO HOT, get wet from ice, read magazines, pills, stand up, wait wait, some guy smells near us (poor Laura got a fart whiffing past!) wait, feel a bit sick, nervous, gates open, i fucking LEG IT, wind up RIGHT on the barricade, adams side, front row, can't breathe, sit down....all worth it!'
Where we were (this pic taken in Sydney) BEST spot EVER!
So we notice cameras set up - find out being shot for IMAX u2 show! Fanstastic i think, then realise I'm front row and better not get my red chubby singing face on the DVD *shudder* But IMAX U2! bring it on! One of the ADs who looked like dDrew Barrymore was chatting to us about it, it already sounds amazing! I can't wait to see it!
So we wait again...there were some slighty deranged fans next to us...quite agressive and freaky! Luckily they didn't pose a problem after u2 started! I think because I was floating on air the whole time and didn't notice a thing!
I kept telling my friends 'ok when I start jumping that when they're going to come on' and also that I'm going to say 'I love this song!!!!!' for nearly every song (i think i did too!) hehehe
So Kanye first...he wasn't bad, but most of the audience looked bored! hehehe
Token Kanye picture...
His backup singer/dancing girl...she got the moooooves!
