OK... Bob has yet again won concert tix! This time to the U2 concert at Gillette Stadium(home of the New England Patriots)... He had to ride to Providence not once but Twice... we got General admission tix BUT...the radio station called him to come back and get "inner circle general admission tix" So... he did. Pretty cool....I am worried about standing... for a LONG time... I JUST started PT again for my ruined back... and I'm so sore I can barely touch my toes! LOL...
SO... WHO has been to see U2? ANYONE do the 360 tour yet? People are coming from the UK to this sold out concert. It will be a ZOO! Bad enough when the Pats play... I see online the tix are really in a COOL place(for younger people at least...LOL....) Just wondering if anyone has seen this interesting stage set up etc....

AS for how Bob won the tix. The radio station has a joke contest called "stump the DJ" Bob has won a few times now. One time it was a joke from TwoToes(thanks Russ!) and this time it was also connected to this forum indirectly... it was a joke I HAD seen posted on here... and some friend of Bob's sent it to him in an email. It was a joke about a man who asks his preacher to say a prayer for "his hearing"... so the preacher does, placing his hands over the mans ears... and asks the man after wards "How is your hearing now?" And the man says "I don't know, Reverend, it ain't till Wednesday" The man in the email is named Leroy.
Leroy... OK, I see the name Leroy and I think it's a "good old southern boy"... probably a fun dude, who likes to coonhunt... Apparently the radio station felt it was a racist name.... (african american)... so... they changed the name to "Manny"... Bob and I both thought THAT was more racial for the area... that it sounded Latino... I guess we're a bit naive... Never thought about the "bad use" of Leroy around Boston and RI. As it is people are SHOCKED at COONhunting and COONhounds! DUH.... We are not racist so I guess it goes over our heads....

Let me know about U2 360 if anyone has seen em yet! I may try to get some pix with my phone perhaps? It'll be like coonhunting though...I'll forget to USE it! LOL...
Happy Hunting! Heather
