WHAT TIME IS IT IN THE WORLD?

SHOW TIME!
Sweets and I were so lucky to experience U2 : 360 tour last night!
OMG...it was absolutely amazing! 
Kimberly, Susan, Marie, Christian, Sweets and I arrived at the stadium at 6pm and ate dinner together amongst others on the 6th floor for the VIP party. It was so fun. We ate lots of yummy food and had the chance to relax before the party got started.  

Just before U2 came out on stage)
The Fray opened for U2 and they were great. I usually don't like their music but they did very well and I was definitely getting into their vibe. They rocked the house for the opener!
The rocket-ship stage
When U2 hit the stage...the whole stadium erupted! They had SO much energy and seriously put on the best show! Bono is simply incredible to be performing for as long as he has and still look like he is in the 'prime' of his life. It was one continuous karaoke party for us spectators!

The Gardner girls (minus Amy)
We danced the whole night long, clapping our hands to the beats and singing our hearts out. Our throats are so sore from all the fun! Oh, and our ears are still ringing...seriously...can't...hear...anything!

The man himself...Bono!
We lucked out sitting so close to the stage that we just swooned every time Bono or anyone else came to our side. They performed well into the 11 o'clock hour and we just loved it! It made for long sleepless night but totally worth it.

Cell phone lights only
This picture doesn't do justice, but this was an incredible view. Towards the end, U2 asked if all the lights could be turned off and he would sing just to the lights of everyones cell phones. We all dug out our phones and held them up on display! It was beautiful to see all the tiny white lights flooding the stadium.
I will certainly, always remember this fantastic concert and we are so appreciative that we had the opportunity to experience the great powerhouse legends of Music!
