The Breakup Confrontation (Updated!!)

This was taken on Friday night at the Sunset Grille in Boston. This couple was in the throws of a breakup. You could feel her animosity and the distance that was happening right next to us. Then they ordered food. Time for the guy to cave in and take her back. At least that was our theory, then again we were drinking for the previous 5 hours so the drama may have been much less....

Better 2nd Night U2 Show?

I know to never complain about a concert I've seen too much but the second show at the Boston Garden looks like a winner. Just the song selections and order of the songs seem more cohesive than the first night. You can check out the set list here.

Maybe I can get them down the Sunset for a mini late night set....if I had any pull whatsoever....

Boston Party People!!

Tonight, Friday at 7:30pm come down to the Sunset Bar and Grille in Allston/Brighton to raise a few pints of beer for Jerry Sheehan's Birthday. We'll be there most of the night so come on in and drink. Remember if you don't like beer they only have about 200 different types to choose from. So come down. Get drunk. It's Friday and it'll probably be raining anyway...

As one of the funniest photos I took it had to go into the blog. The birthday boy, Jerry, doing some drilling in the ear cavity... I'll have more photos and that video I promised will be forthcoming tomorrow. More things to move in the rain tonight so I'll get to them in the PM tomorrow. Pray for sunlight! Somewhere...

U2 Vertigo Tour - Boston Garden

This is for the people in the AM who will be up way before me and need something to read. I just returned from the U2 show at the Gahden and I have to admit to being a bit disappointed in my Dublin boys on their performance. It just felt uninspired. Granted the last time I went to see them they filmed their Elevation Tour DVD at the show and were on their 'A' game. But this time around the songs seemed canned. Bono barely left the main stage to venture out onto the catwalk into the audience. And the usual staple of pulling a stunned and soon to be crying female from the audience to dance was also missing. I've heard some bootlegs of their shows from earlier in the tour and these shows sound cohesive and dead on. Bono being Bono. Edge being the Edge. Larry and Adam. Well you get the idea.

I'll have more when I awake and finish moving the Molloy family to their new house on E. Main Street in Yarmouth. There will be pictures and with any luck a video posted from the show. (As long as Fornya will house it for me...)

****Set lists and Comments From U2tours.com****

Main Set: City of Blinding Lights, Vertigo - Stories for Boys, Elevation, The Electric Co., The Ocean, Beautiful Day, Miracle Drug, Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own, Love and Peace or Else, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bullet the Blue Sky - When Johnny Comes Marching Home, Running to Stand Still, Pride, Where the Streets Have No Name, One

Encore(s): Zoo Station, The Fly, Mysterious Ways - My Sweet Lord, All Because Of You, Yahweh, 40

Comments: U2's unofficial hometown in the U.S. gives the band a loud and energetic welcome for the first of three shows to close out the tour's first leg. Bono counts 1, 2, 3, 14 in Gaelic during 'Vertigo', saying Boston is an Irish town, not Spanish. Former J. Geils Band singer Peter Wolf is namechecked during 'Beautiful Day', and '40' is dedicated to Teresa Earnhardt, widow of racing legend Dale Earnhardt, who is presumably at the show.

Almost time!!

Tomorrow is the day of U2 and H&M. My favorite letters (and numbers...and symbol). A good day of shopping and yellling out lyrics at the Garden. If you're in Boston these are the places to be tomorrow. Maybe just the U2 show if you have tickets y'all!

With any luck I'll be doing mobile updates before, during, and after the show.

TIME Magazine's Top 100 Movies of all time

I actually liked the list of top 100 films. What would you add to the list?

Darth Robber

The Force was clearly strong in this one....

It appears Darth Vader delivered an unwelcome show of force at an Illinois movie theater this weekend.

Police in Springfield, Illinois say a man wearing a Darth Vader mask walked into a movie theater, shoved an employee out of the way and grabbed a bunch of cash.

Investigators say the robber fled the theater and ran into a nearby wooded area. Police have no suspects.

Weekend Realizations

My weekend has consisted of the following: get up, watch rain fall, take dog out, eat breakfast, go with a friend/neighbor to see Episode 3. After that my day does change but man how many times can i listen to horrible love scene chatter?

Is it me or does the weather in New England always need to be pitiful on the weekends?

If you remember my Closure post then you know when the silence is broken you can be put right back to how shitty you feel about the whole thing and you know you can't go back to the way it was.

More upbeat. New speaker system so my IPod will sound sweet in my bedroom. Now music while I read. Beautiful.

2 Days until U2 at the Boston Garden!!
