Hallelujah Here She Comes
Rock n' Roll Doggie
I'm still reeling from the whole experience, as well as the severe lack of food and sleep, but I'll do my best to give a full and accurate account if the show. Oh, who am I kidding, I'll just tell you the parts that make me look cool
First of all, I ended up right in front of Adam (funny how that keeps happening
) and maybe it was just because I persistently plant myself in front of him, but Adam kept smiling at me!! He even waved once and then shook my hand at the end...TWICE!!! WHEEEE!!! I got to touch Adam Clayton!!!
Second, I GOT LARRY'S DRUMSTICK!!! I made this gigantic sign that basically just said "Larry can I have your drumsticks please" with little hearts surrounding Larry's name. He sort of saw it when I held it up during the encore but couldn't see all of it and motioned for me to hold it up further, which I did. Then he sort of nodded and I was just like "Oh my God. Larry Mullen is going to give me his drumstick. And sure enough, he in all his man-cleavage glory sauntered right over to me and handed my the stick! But I still have one question: does this make me an official stick-keeper now?
As an added bonus, Dallas started throwing guitar picks into the audience. I didn't catch one, but as I was leaving, Dallas walked over to me and handed an Edge pick especially to me!! I have no idea why (one kid said it meant that I was supposed to meet Dallas after the show *wink* *wink*) but it was just frosting at this point, since I already had the drumstick.
Anyhoo, I'll post more later, since the show freaking rocked in addition to my band-interacting experience. And the GA line was a lot of fun, despite the unbelievably crappy weather. But, alas, I must go now. Later, my darlings.

"I buy socks."
-Adam, when asked what he does with the money he would have spent on drink.
"The babes, the feast, and the toga conspire to give Adam the bearing of a Caesar (one of the late, inbred, lunatic Caesars, perhaps, but a Caesar nonetheless.)"
-Bill Flanagan, at an after-concert soiree with the band and Co.
"If I didn't have my spoons, I'd go insane."
-Adam, The Simpsons

It WAS very cold. I managed to stay okay most of the day by walking around (my feet got VERY numb) and using those handwarmers. They gave out free hot chocolate, but it was sickeningly sweet so it didn't help much. Anyway.. *cough*
