A little late on my post..but it's been crazy getting back into the swing of things after the long weekend!
Got in line for GA around 7:30 (woke up at 5:00 to ride the Metra in from Orland Park) I was around the corner from the tunnel, had a grassy area to chill on and the most amazing people to sit by (for some reason I never asked them if they were on Interference, but if you are...hey!! it's Angie!). My friend Chris showed up and we chilled until they herded us like cattle...it got mighty warm being pushed together like that...I loved how the security was telling us all not to push...I was like Yeah right dude...
Anyway I was so releved that there were facilities close by and food! (Anyone run over to the hotdog stand?)
My friend Chris and I wound up on the propaganda video that was posted...how awesome was that??
I think the guy putting arm bands on in the line I went to was the slowest ever! Just put the prong through the hole! I thought there needed to be more signs once inside letting us know there was two entrances to the floor and where the inner circle entrance was....
The stage was so HUGE it was like "Which way do I go George, which way do I go?" so many great spots to choose from. My comrads from the line all stood together; inner circle outside rail, Adams side. We were able to use the restroom, get some food, and mingle comfortably until Snow Patrol was done (loved them btw). We were a little miffed to find people waltzing in telling us they JUST got there...grrr.Chris was at the 3rd Cork Park show in Dublin and knew the intro song (I was a good girl and didn't cheat)...so every new track that played I would look at him and he would just shake his head...hehe
When the boys came out....we went nuts!!!! I forgot that I was hot and my back hurt and I really wanted to brush my hair! The new songs were a major highlight for me...they sounded amazing, especially Breathe, No Line, and Magnificent. The Unforgetable Fire....WOW...just WOW.
No one lingered on our side of the ramp long...just Adam...
Loved hearing Ultraviolet and teared up during MLK.
Outside the venue getting to my ride was a whole other story...horrible!!!! Thank goodness they fixed that Sunday night.
Met up with some Interference folks Friday night at the Hard Rock hotel

...they convienced me to get tickets to Sunday night...my new found friend in the GA line let me borrow his iPhone...and I bought them then and there! Look for my Sunday review.
