Confession: DH and I have a thing for U2. I have seen them 24 times in concert, he is closer to 30 or so. Our first date was a U2 show!
U2 related confessions: Twice, at my current job, I have taken a weeks vacation. I told everyone we were traveling. In fact, we were sitting outside the arena, trying to get into the heart (then the ellipse). It always worked!
Once, we drove 400 miles out of our way on a scheduled cross country trip, because we knew they were playing in Birmingham, Alabama, and we wanted to see the show.
At that same Alabama show (and through that whole tour), the band had a "zoofenssional booth," that you could go in and say anything you liked, then the editors would splice everything together for a funny show in between sets. DH (then DBF) and I went into the booth, and he gave a sweet speech about how he loved me. At the end, he gave me a big kiss. When we came out of the booth, the producer asked us if we would go back in and kiss again. We figured, hey, why not! It's Alabama, we don't know these people! So, we did. And they edited it so that we seemed to be kissing OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER...
