U2-3D Baby!!!





Any other U2 fans out there? Well I guess at least once on the blog I will have to let loose with a post for my favorite band! Last night we headed to the Whitaker Center for a double dose of U2 mania. Vertigo//USA, an awesome U2 tribute band out of Chicago, performed in the Sunoco Performance Theater before the premiere showing of the 3-D Imax movie, U2-3D.

Vertigo//USA has a really great sound. Their covers were pretty much spot on and an excellent imitation/interpretation of the actual band. I grabbed a few snapshots with my small digital point and shoot sans flash. So please excuse the small digital P & S sans flash look but enjoy the pictures!

If you've never had the opportunity to enjoy the near religious experience that is a U2 concert ... well all I can say is just go and see the movie! We saw U2 in Philadelphia on their 2005 Vertigo tour. Best.Concert. Ever! U2-3D was filmed during that tour and it's the next best thing to being there! Plus, we look really cool in the 3D glasses. OK, well maybe not. ;-)

Yes, the last photo is dear hubby (who ALWAYS smiles when he sees a camera pointed in his direction), myself (just about the worst self portrait I've ever taken), and dear son (whose mother tortured him by making him get his picture taken). Fun, fun, fun!

Bwahahahahaaaaaa! That will get him moving. Just a little more practice and he can be Larry Mullen, Jr. when he grows up. ;-)
