The Angels’ top hitter Kendry Morales hit a grand slam in the tenth, allowing the Angels to win.
And what did they give him in return, you might ask? A thank-you card? A cake? A bottle of champagne?
Nope. Too traditional. Too easy.
U2 is one of my all-time favorite bands.
My BIL, you should know, is six feet, three inches tall.
The last time I saw U2, it was the nineties. The Popmart tour, I believe. I’d seen the ZooTV tour as well, but little did I know it would be almost fifteen years until I would see them again.
I don’t remember why I couldn’t see them in 2001, and in 2006 we had scheduled a trip to San Francisco on the exact same weekend they were here. U2 was also here last October, but that was a mere seven days before I was due to give birth, so we didn’t think it was really wise to buy tickets.
We found out they would be at Angel Stadium in June, and we were lucky enough to get tickets right after they went on sale on TicketMaster. We were so happy to get them that we only grumbled slightly at the fifty dollar service fees they charged. Whatever! I was going t see U2 again live and my world was good. And even better, fifteen minutes away! We rarely go to concerts anymore because going to LA is such a pain in the ass, and being as we have two young kids, we no longer have all the time in the world to sit in traffic.
So of course I find out today that due to Bono’s back surgery (sorry, Bono!)they have canceled the American leg of their tour.
Because apparently, the universe just does not want me to see U2.
My sister tried to console me. She said that she would set up her big, fifteen by fifteen foot outdoor screen in the back yard. She would rent a U2 concert DVD and play it for me. She would also charge me obscene amounts of money for food and drinks, and would hang an “Out of Order” sign on the bathroom door. For that real concert-type feel.
I expressed gratitude at her concern, and told her there was only one way she could make it the most authentic experience possible.
My BIL would have to stand in front of me the entire time.
Hey interwebbers! I have a big favor to ask of you. Can you please eat dinner at Chik-Fil-A this Thursday night May 20th?? I am in the Santa Ana College Nursing program (if you didn’t know already) and we are having a fundraiser.
We will be at the Chik-Fil-A in Santa Ana:
3601 S. Bristol St. Santa Ana, 92704
Between the hours of 5pm and 8pm.
Please come out! We will receive 20% of ALL purchases! No flyer necessary!
Please help. Due to state budget constraints, the school has little money to give our department, and with no money, comes no spots for RN students, and with no space for RN students, there will be no RNs.
I just saw via the ABC7 helicopter that Lilly has beached herself, at Doheny,near the harbor. Unfortunately, she is dead. I’m so sad. I was so excited when she was freed from all of that netting.
Just got back from “Baby Beach” where the wayward gray whale has taken refuge. Contrary to previous reports it is a juvenile, not 60+ years old. It has/had rope tangled on it’s fluke. I’ve got to go to work (I’m cutting it close. I got caught up in all the drama), but will post photos later this evening.
At least in Costa Mesa and Lake Forest.
I don’t really care either way about the law, I just wish state and federal law weren’t differing, because it seems like it is costing a lot in lawsuits.
