Thanks, Trev...I'm not tired of talking about my adventures yet!

I went to:

Vegas (7 am flite - 5 am pickup)
LA3 (drove 4 hours with Moonie to directly after the Vegas show - arrived 4:30 am)
Dallas (thank goodness, my home base; flew home on Saturday, then got in line again Sunday about 6:30 am)

I'm vascillating between being Elevated and being completely depressed...and to think, as of right now (11:00 EST), IT'S ALL OVER. DONE. FINISHED. The Elevation tour is now history. Man, that makes me even more depressed!!!

I think Mrs. Edge has seen, like 20 shows or something...how do they do it?

no unfortunately for first leg montreal i was limited to behind the stage $45 tix, not very good but still a great time and i met the band(except bono) the day of show 2, so that was better than anything. i was gc for the final show of the leg in nj, and a good thing too, given the 10 hour drive. for montreal on the 3rd leg i finally got ga in the heart and had the best time of my life cause one of my best friends was able to come for his 1st U2 show.

------------------
bottom line: U2 rules.
