U2!!!!

Hey everyone! Well, Tara, Boobie, Zal, Cat, and I went to the U2 Vertigo concert last night (courtesy of Boobie) and it was AWESOME! They did 3 encores and had so much energy and played all of their hits and a few new ones. From weird bird "kites" to fire on stage to bringing a girl from the crowd on stage, the concert had everything! So big big squissshle hugs to Boobie for a great night! Also went to the Johnston St Festival and saw Patricia shakin' her booty Chilean style and stuffed ourselves with yummy yummy Latin American food (especially the caramel-filled churros!). Unfortunatley missed the Make Povery History concert (there were no spare tix for the main one where U2 and Pearl Jam opened it together - they called themselves U Jam! Hehehe - but there were a few other free venues around the city)...ah well. Also missed (thankfully) the G-20 riots. I don't know why some people always want to make those demonstrations violent...it totally goes against their cause and gives the impression that everyone who wants to change the uneven distrubution of wealth in the world is a crazed, violent hooligan...it is totally NOT the way to get the message across and I think it just makes it harder for other activists who want to be heard without being violent. Anyways, that is my little rant for today. I better start doing a little bit of work. Big hugs until my next update!
