Sunday, 10/26: Since I won't be carrying my very pregnant-with-twins self to the Rose Bowl on Sunday (long lines, far-away bathrooms, parking lot nightmares, etc.), I am thrilled U2 will be live-streaming their concert on youtube , beginning at 8:30pm. We just saw "It might get Loud" on Wednesday, and I'm well looking forward to seeing them play live, now from the comfort of my bed. Ahhhhh!
Did you RSVP for the Swell Season in-store at Fingerprints tonight at 7pm? Yep, it's sold-out. Be sure to take pictures and tell me how it goes. Glen and Marketa do sing so lovely together...
