Still on a high from the previous night, sharing champagne with Larry on his 40th birthday at my most favorite U2 show ever, Tasha and I left Providence for Philadelphia. We arrived at the First Union Center at 4:30pm the day before the Elevation show in Philadelphia on November 2, 2001. We got [continue reading]
Most people honor the anniversary of U2’s Rattle and Hum album, but I have always honored the anniversary of Rattle and Hum the movie, which premiered in the U.S. on November 4, 1988.

My best friend, Cindy, and I arrived in Las Vegas the morning of the U2 show on November 4, 2005. We checked into Ballys and then had pizza at New York New York, who has phenomenal pizza by the way.

When U2 [continue reading]
Achtung Baby was released on November 19, 1991. I was very excited for the release of Achtung Baby as I was now old enough at 19 to finally go to a U2 concert. My mom wouldn’t let me go to the Joshua Tree tour because I was only 14. But I was even more excited to finally have new U2 music. I [continue reading]
