faithingrace My friend ( I made at 11:00 in line) got beeped, there were 3 of us...Ofcourse I would not have left my daughter,but they let all 3 of us in...after all the 10 year old is technically a half
SHE could have done cartwheels from excitement (has been exposed to u2 since inutero) and literally done them b/c there was so much room. We were in back by the steps he emerges from under the catwalk...he was right in front of us a TON of times. BOnus: we could see the front stage beautifully,
As far as "protecting" them, first of all there was no need to protect little ones, but all of the people around me from college kids to the pot passing fans, to the rest, ALL were looking out for her. Even this LSU football player said he'd pick her up for her to touch him if he came close. BTW the fans on the outside of the ellipse (oppsite the catwalk from me) got most of the love...they barely aknowledged us. It was fair though, we were inside and there seemed to be more distance from inner ellipse to catwalk than there was from catwalk to the outer barrier for fans outside it. Does that make sense?
When I have time I am going to chronicle the 1500 round trip from Bama to DAllas that was planned in 2 hours, without tickets. It all totally worked out...I am getting spoiled. I thought after NYC Brooklyn Bridge experience that nothing would ever live up to those expectations!!! I was so wrong.
I just wish I'd have felt more emotion during Streets. It wasn't the same energy I felt in the past...good, just not the same.
BTW:
I counted 8 kids inside ellipse, due to the fact my husband was a wreck when he found out we were in there. They were all fine. They just want to play with the confetti.
