Time Out With THETA-MOM - be jealous!









I couldn't blog Thursday night. Why not? I was out.
At a concert.
Remember those?
Really loud music blaring through you - total selfish absorption in the moment

My husband and I went to Charlottesville VA to watch U2. It was so very fabulous. I have amazingly enough been to only a handful of concerts. For some reason my mother was very anti-concert and truthfully; anti-music when I was in high school and I spent all my college money on paints and skiing. Despite such discouraging beginnings this is my second U2 concert. I saw them in 1993 in Paris. (pooh-bah, yes, I know.)
the set in Scott Stadium on UVA campus.


I need to make a effort to attend more live music venues. I love live music.

There are no pictures of me. I was miserably sick with a head cold (still haven't shaken it) and so look rather unwell...

Love to meet another U2 fan! My husband is obsessed. He has seen them in concert 15 times, once in Ireland in Dublin. He has taken me to 3 of their concerts, all of which were amazing! He also took me to see Sting during their reunion tour, but I had a head cold during that concert and had a horrid headache through the whole thing. I felt like I wasted my big opportunity to see them b/c I felt like crap!

I'm so glad you had fun!! And yes, I must admit, I am very jealous! Ha ha!

I'm so glad you got to do this, I love U2! I have never had a chance to see them in concert, but I just knew any concert they put on would be amazing. From the pictures, and your words, it looks like I was right.

I'm so glad you got out and just had fun with your husband. Doesn't get much better than that.
XXXXX

Good for you! I hope you had a great time. I wish you would have felt better:( I haven't been to a concert in forever.

omg!!! That is sooo cool that you saw U2! Great photos! I met Bono once in the airport, I was such a dork, I told him that I thought he was "just the greatest!"

btw, I have an Amazing Grass Kidz giveaway on my blog if you're interested!
