Friday Awesome Friday
So things have been pretty cool lately. Me old china plates Kleff and Zeff came down to Sydney and we hung out and partied every night.
We saw a movie, Children of Men. It's an amazing film. It's made even cooler by the scene at Battersea Power Station, where a giant inflatable pig is suspended over the station. Go see it now. We also saw Saw III, which was crap. Pretty typical really; the first was great, the second was OK and the third was rubbish. They had a crap story and just piled on excessive gore. Some gore in a horror movie is expected but I don't really want to see half a head that's been blown off or a guy getting covered in pureed pigs.
My car's going well. I got a set of fluffy dice to hang off the rear view mirror. All in irony of course.
I got the re-cut and extended edition of Sin City yesterday. It came with a copy of the first comic too, which is awesome. I've read it already (I downloaded them all), but it's cool having a hard copy.
And I've switched this blog to the new Blogger Beta. Yay?
But! Why am I talking about such everyday topics when I could be talking about how, you know...
I SAW U2 ON FRIDAY NIGHT!!
And it was awesome. I went on Friday night with McLeff, who came down to Sydney for it. It was at Telstra Stadium. After getting a train to Olympic Park, then thinking we lost the tickets and realising several minutes later that they were in McLeff's jacket pocket, we made our way up (and up and up) to our seats. Luckily the seating is very steep so even though we were high up we had a reasonable view. The support act was Kanye West, which was lame.
I never realised just how huge a stadium like that is. When we got to our seats the other side of the stadium looked like a flat picture because the distance made perspective unnoticeable. It gave the place a sort of unreal quality, like a dream.
I've never been all that into U2, but I have to say they fucking go off live. I'm converted. In fact I'm listening to The Joshua Tree as I type this. I even would have bought a T-shirt if they weren't $45.
McLeff went again on Saturday. I would have too but the tickets were sold out, and he got his from a lady who was scalping a single ticket outside the Ticketek office. The ticket was for the mosh pit and he got pretty close to the stage. That would have been awesome.
Photos!

Bono told everyone to get out their phones. It looked cool:
All in all: a great night!
