Hello hello...

A big shout-out to everyone who had to put up with my ridiculously busy August. While it was loads and loads of fun, little of it was notable. Or...I'm not talking about that in public. I'm just not going to.

So. Why do I have so much disposable money?

Well. This week (which has felt like the stupid-busy parts of last month), I've been doing my best to ensure it disappears. $20 a film for the Film Fest? Done.

And then... there was U2. No, I didn't have to sell my first-born for a ticket. But it was close.

Before I start raving, well, yes. I did buy a tshirt. It's dark grey and soft. And ridiculously expensive for the shirt it is. But you only live once, yes?

Show was great. Lights were amazing (and geeky-impressive), music was solid as ever. There was about a 60% commonality with the setlist from the first time I saw them with Alex in Hamilton, but that's only to be expected. They have to play all their hits or people will scream. And they were definitely pushing their agenda a lot harder than in the Hamilton show. But I don't mind that so much - part of their appeal to me is that yes, they do care.

And they played "Fast Cars," apparently live in front of an audience for the first time.

And if I looked across the aisle from where I sat and a couple of rows down, why, yes, those are two managers from work. I can't get away, it seems.

Back to it, then.
