Rock n' Roll Doggie
5 nights baby.
The boys are on their way!!!
Whether you go to one, or five shows - they are sure to be outstanding.
The marqee all lit up "Tonight - U2"
The scalpers outside (yeah I hate em also, but it gives me goosebumps everytime I hear one offer to buy or sell me a ticket.)
The smell of hot dogs, garbage, and homeless dudes drinking stale beer.
The red Upstaging trucks parked outside.
The cops on horses, who really could give a shit less what you do as about 85% of the NYPD are Irish.
The radio stations playing blocks of U2.
The drunk fans with Irish flags around their shoulders.
The limos dropping off the VIPs.
The VIPs who don't take limos who simply walk into and out of the Garden - (like Ed Norton who my wife bumped into last time in May on the sidewalk.)
Then there is the walk in.
The excitement of the security, metal detectors, and the tunnel that leads into the Garden.
I think there is nothing like the experience of finally getting to your level and actually walking through the gate to be inside the arena. You see the stage, you see the smoke, you see the thousands of other peopl who are there for the same exact reason you are. There is just something in the air.
Then the lights go down.
Can you just friggin wait?
I know I cannot.
82 hours baby and we are back home.
