The Midnight Run of the Blog Express

I purchased U2 tickets today. Thursday, May 12, at the United Center in Chicago. About half way up and behind the stage. Actually, I don't think they are bad seats. But Eric and I are working on finding better ones through ebay. Almost as soon as tickets went on sale, they sold out. They added two more shows for the week, and yet they still sold out fast. These were the best offered, and it was a good thing we took them. Otherwise we would be out of the show. Many people bought the good tickets and turned around to sell them for a profit. Now they are on ebay at outrageous prices. One guy is trying to pull 1500 for two, but the average for two has been about 500. We won't go that high. We would like to get tickets for the floor, but at least we have these two already. Our suitemate is from Chicago, and he will be there for a day or two. We might hang out for a day with him. He is really busy though. He also proposed to his girlfriend today. Everything is coated with ice here. Very messy, very slippery. The food was basically horrible today. I think they had to use whatever was left in the kitchen. Not very tasty.
