You need to wait until you're at the wise old age of 17 to know what an amaretto straight up is.

OK, you youngin' 16 year old
Amaretto is a liquor(obviously). It tastes smooth and is sweet, but verrry strong.

alright, that probably means around 6-7 for me, because you know how women have a tougher time holding down their liquor. . .
by the way, can i buy you a drink?

You're underage mister, I don't know if you can.
But if you can get away with it, a coors light would be nice.

hmm. . . that's interesting, now, because it would take me multiple coors lights, but only two more Amarettos. . .
and if you can get away with drinking at a bar, love, then i can get away with anything

OK! Here we go. I figure I'll put these in chronological order, which means that first we have some slogging to do through GA/Airport pics, but that's fine. It just builds the suspense.
The Comfort Inn Downtown Philadelphia. Best hotel ever...*ahem*
The Philadelphia skyline, as taken from Abby's car on the way to the airport to pick up April and Adam.
You can see inside Lincoln Financial Field from the highway!
The Linc's signage.
The place where it would all go down in less than 24 hours.
The happy couple as well as the ever-so-lovely April in the Airport Bar, waiting for Adam.
The Jumbotron in Citizens Bank Park during the Friday night Phillies vs Reds game. As you can see by the 8-0 score in the 6th, it wasn't much of a game. The Phillies won 12-2.
The Philadelphia pitchers, hard at work in the bullpen.
And the Cincinnatti pitchers, being heckled by Phillies fans. Welcome to Philadelphia.
This 50-foot "Bell" swung back and forth when the Phillies got a home run and also when the game was over.

The Wachovia Spectrum. The next bunch of shots are all going to be of the Spectrum, the Linc, and the Wachovia for the most part, cause I got bored in the GA line and stopped to take pictures on the way to the CVS.
More Spectrum. Yee-haw.
The Broad Street subway station. Saturday morning was the first time I've ever taken a subway, and this was where we got off.
The Philly skyline on a sunny morning.
The Linc and the Wachovia. I couldn't believe how close all these sports venues are.
More Linc.
And again. Can you tell the Eagles are my favorite football team?
The Wachovia again.
The Linc once more, this time in the afternoon.

If the Eagles are your favorite football team, I guess I shouldn't tell you I'm a Patriots fan.

Alright, now we're inside the concert!!
This was the view from my original seat. I managed to luck out in the end though and get a GA ticket, so Adam (aka Diemen) got this spot.
A high shot of the Ellipse before the show. The floor is filling up.
The band is on! Mr. The Edge off on the other end of the Ellipse.
Bono's pointing at something. I think this was during COBL.
The B-man playing around with a couple of little girls inside the Ellipse during Into The Heart.
The band on stage.
Bono and some random girl's hands.
More Bono. I think this was SYCMIOYO.
Bono coming down the Ellipse during SYCMIOYO.
Another SYCMIOYO shot. He did the "siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing" part right in front of April and I!

Goodnight! And again, great pictures!
That picture will definetly be making the rounds in PLEBA.

Larry's ass during the start of LAPOE.
Bono came up with Larry during LAPOE and was dancing like a maniac.
The flags coming down at the beginning of Streets as the intro starts. This was the one point of the concert where I nearly cried. I didn't actually, but I had a major lump in my throat right here.
Adam came down the Ellipse and stopped right in front of us for a little bit!
Adam still in front of us...he was there for a good 30 seconds at least.
Out comes Bono onto the Ellipse during Zoo Station.
Here it is...the PLEBA shot of the night. I'll leave it to your imagination. If you want a larger copy (2200x1700), let me know.
Bono wearing the policeman's hat.
Bono again in front of us, this time during Mysterious Ways (I think)
The band came out and played at the end of the Ellipse, right near us, for Yahweh.
