RE: U2 3D!!!

Submitted by perspiciens on August 18, 2008 - 15:27.

Boston, Mass.
New England Aquarium's iMax
U2 3D at 8:10 pm

6:00 pm

We're waiting in the lobby
It's two hours before the show
Outside
It's dark and rain pounds into the harbor
I pass the time playing Tetris
While my mom reads beside me

7:20 pm

A line starts to form
We race to get there
Before too many people come

8:00 pm

They let us in
Take our tickets
We get 3D glasses in return
Racing up to the top
We snag two middle seats
I pull out my camera
To snap pictures of us
With the goofy glasses on

Through the previews
We gasp as we're almost smacked
By whale fins and dolphins
That want to kiss us

Finally
The credits start rolling
My heart beats louder
Some girl is running
Her shoes slap on the pavement
The screen fades into

U2

ON STAGE

The tour beings with "Vertigo"
Bono looks up
Directly at me
And reaches his hand out
Like he wants to hold my head
My breath catches
This is unbelievable
