The Good News: The show was otherwise incredible.
Here's the evidence:
The Stage: Known as the Claw. It apparently takes 2 or 3 days to set this bad boy up. And when the lights went down, it looked amazing.
The Opener: Muse. Also amazing. They played for about 45 minutes but it was so good, it flew by and felt like 5 minutes. At the start of every song, I looked over at John and said " You know this one, right?" He would smile and shake his head no. C'mon! How do you not know it?!?!
The Crowd: Me, John, Kelly & Jeff, whom I love more than life itself. Thanks to the hammered lady behind us for taking our pic.
U2: I'm a little biased because they are my most favorite band on earth but man, do they put on a good show. Bono makes my heart hurt, I love him so much. His political babble doesn't even bother me. He kept it to a minimum and really, he's yapping for a good cause, so what am I gonna do, get pissed? Nah, I love him and would listen to him read the telephone book. Anyway, last time I saw U2 in 2005, my favorite performance was "Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own" and I was hoping for a repeat but it didn't happen. This year's fave was "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"...lots of crowd participation and it sounded gooood. Loved it.
Thanks Kelly, for the tix, for crying to U2 with me and for being generally awesome. And thank you Bono, for making my year.

Did you see them on SNL? (well, a taped version, at least?) They played THREE songs. Does anyone play three songs on SNL? None that I know of.
Fifth grade homework assignment: write your next blog from your blister's perspective.
Nah, I was a little busy at 11:30 Saturday night. But John did text me to tell me.
HAHAHAHAHAHA...my blister got hammered on vodka and redbull then wanted to smoke Kelly's cigarette.
