Enter Bono, and the 360 Tour. The plan was perfect…I would be hailed as the coolest wife ever IF I could not only get Rich concert tickets but actually afford to get him there as well. I searched, I hoped, I prayed, I was even committed to eating PB&J for dinner for a year; after all this was In the Name of Love. However even Jiffy would not cut it….the cost would be a hefty one.
With Bono out of the picture, the special day encroaching and the daily facebook reminders of my failure due to all the status reports of people attending the concert…I still hadn’t found what I was looking for.
Alas, a unique experience we could do together and not leave us roaming the Streets that Have No Name….A Canopy Tour, In God’s Country.
Instead of pics with Bono, Edge, Adam and Larry
We got pics with Johannes, Tembisa, & Tepo….
Instead of crowd surfing; we air surfed…
Prayin’ I wouldn’t get Vertigo
Babe, it’ll be With or Without You
Definitely A line on this horizon
Fortunately it wasn’t Sunday, Bloody Sunday albeit a Beautiful Day
Not Bono yet simply Magnificent

screaming my lungs out because i'm totally afraid of heights*
(ok, i didn't scream. i just kind of shuddered.)
Looks like so much fun!
And you're too clever with all your song titles...I love it! :)
I did a little screaming too! I'm not a height fan either but once I calmed down it was really an enjoyable exp!
YIKES! That is a bigger sacrifice than PB&J for a year. I did the zipline at camp and screamed the whole time! You are a very brave woman and I'm sure you guys had a blast!!! What a great way to spend his birthday!
Oh Michelle -you're putting me to shame! Ken wants to go soooo bad... and it could also be for his bday. I'm having a hard time THINKING about paying for tix.. if only we had some wires to string across the Golden Gate to hang off of.. then maybe I could come up with something more exciting then Bono. I think I'm going to lose this one though.
I suppose it might be cruel to mention that several of my friends and family are at a U2 concert as I type. Then again, I am not there..for similar reasons as yours. You're idea was brillian anyway. :)
ps I did take one of your suggestions and take a little nap. :)
you are so cute - and brave. In the Name of Love.
