Going to see U2 in concert is like preparing for a marathon for me and my two friends. We save, we put the new album that was recently released on repeat for a few months, we call in to the local radio stations to win free tickets (we never win- but came close to winning once), and we spend A LOT OF MONEY. Usually the tickets sell out in about 10 minutes so we end up having to buy the tickets online. This means the tickets end up being double the price of the face value. Then you have your t-shirt, your hot dog, and whatever other “U2 incidentals” come along you have a long long tab. It is ALWAYS worth the cost in the end but in this recession I hope Bono can give us a break, a price break that is. With no money on the “Horizon” come hell or high water we will see you there Bono. . . and Edge be ready for me! This concert my two U2 groupies might even make it out to the District to see Bono and the crew at least that is the current plan so if you would like to donate to my one seemingly frivolous expenditure you know where to find me

I always feel good at the end of the day putting out the money for the concerts because Bono gives so much back to fight HIV/AIDS, TB, increase literacy and decrease hunger to name a few.
