U2 comes to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena this weekend and I finally got some tickets. I kinda slacked off on getting them, but my friend Gary hooked me up for my birthday. I've been to a plethora of U2 shows over the years and they are by far my favorite band. They are so good live and I can't wait to go. U2 will be broadcasting the concert live for you folks who can't attend.

By the way, if anyone knows Bono, or has any connections that would allow me to photograph him for just two minutes, that would be super. I got to photograph the Popmart tour back in '97, but i'd love to just spend a couple minutes with Bono, some nice soft light and an 85mm/1.2 lens wide open.
_____
The Angels/Yankees series hasn't exactly gone how I was hoping so far, but I still have hope. I'm currently watching game 3 and I am hoping to go to tomorrow nights game.
_____
Dexter is awesome. Last nights episode gave me chills.
_____
What did y'all think of "Law Abiding Citizen"? I've heard good things but the critics aren't giving it very good reviews. I may go see it later tonight anyway.
_____
The ballon story from last week is absurd. I was at the Houston airport and saw it playing on CNN. I read the crawler and saw all the tweets about it and of course was concerned for the little kid. When I landed in the OC and heard he had been found in the attic, I knew right away it was a hoax. As far as publicity stunts go, I believe they got some publicity, so it worked on that account. And I guess they are filing charges, but nothing substantial is going to happen to them so I am sure they'll figure out a way to cash in on all of this publicity. I just wish people would ignore them and not give them any of the publicity they crave. Lets hope their 15 minutes are almost up and they don't end up on an episode of the Surreal Life or Celebrity Apprentice.

Just think, 2010 is a mere 10.5 weeks away. Crazy huh?
_____
The new Verizon ads are lame. "There's a map for that" I get they are trying to copy the "There's an App for that" campaign, but who is it aimed at? As an iPhone user, I don't really care that they have better coverage. I am not giving up my iPhone for anything even though I have no love lost on AT&T. Now if the iPhone came to Verizon, then we'll chat.

Two huge routs yesterday... The Doyers got spanked by the Phils 11-0 and the Pats took it to the Titans in the snow 59-0. Crazy. It was a good day for the Cowboys even though they didn't play. All of the other NFC teams lost. Thank you Saints for taking it to the G-men.
