U2 is on tour, and I kept forgetting to check the dates. Now I’ve checked, and it appears that…
(a) They are playing in Milan the night I fly from Germany to Sicily. (I was thinking of flying into Milan, but it’d be too much hassle.)
(b) They are playing in Berlin the night after I fly from Berlin to Houston.
(c) They are playing in Houston two months after I leave Houston for Germany. (That date is also two days before I go to Paris for a weekend…of course, U2 will have played Paris months prior.)
I suppose this is God’s way of gently saying, “Hannah, love, you’ve spent a buttload of money to see U2 once, and I’m thinking that’s enough for now.”
Well, this just means I’m all the more determined to see the even-less-hipster-friendly Coldplay in August. Who’s with me?!
(seriously…off my favorite album of theirs and everything.)
Where are you going to see Coldplay? If it’s in Texas, I’m in!
Sorry, but Manders and I are going to U2 in Dallas…. We’ll miss you!
“Even-less-hipster-friendly” made me smile. I have trouble feeling sorry for you, what with all the cool places you’ve been lately.
Steph – Coldplay is one of the few bands who are both (a) good and (b) coming to Hannover, Germany…you should come this way in August
Enjoy U2 in Dallas, though – you’ve seen em before, right? They’re pretty great.
Rachel – so true – I think my next post will be about the effects of solitude on my tendencies to shoegaze and forget blessings. Enjoyed your latest post, by the way. I, too, could do without hearing about those four things for quite some time (although I do want to read that Time Magazine article on Twitter and how it’s relevant to our cultural situation…but that’s just the soc major in me
).
I don’t believe either Steph or I have seen U2 live, so we are looking forward to it. My roommate and her friend are coming with us (and we get a free hotel room, holla), so it should be a good time.
I’m planning on writing the World’s Most Epic Blog Post (TM) afterwards, so keep your eyes peeled.
I have not seen U2. I’m really looking forward to it! October’s going to be amazing! And I don’t think Hannover in August is going to happen, sadly… Another time, for sure! I don’t think we’ve ever been to a concert together. Weird. (Oh, and cool points for the Passion Pit song on the next post. They’re amazing.)
