The New England Patriots are in London this weekend for a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at WEMBLEY STADIUM!!!!
My cousin Christine and her husband are among the lucky fans that made the trip over! I get to see her next Sunday and will get all the details of her first trip to Europe.
Tomorrow I will be excited to watch the game from Wembley! : )
European U2 dates for 2010 are already going on sale and SELLING OUT !!!! These aren't for early 2010 either. They are for August and beyond, so 10 months in advance!!!!
I want to make 2010 plans but I don't think I can buy tickets that far in advance. It was a stretch this year to purchase in March and wait 5 months for tickets to arrive for Wembley Shows!
Arghhhhhhh! What to do what to do?!!?!?
Paris, Athens and Moscow are all tempting. But, knowing me it will be Dublin or London again for me. (fingers crossed!)
WOW!! Was reading AtU2.com this morning and came across some VERY cool stats for this tour so far! I guess I didn't realize the Gillette Stadium shows were RECORDS?! Hmmm!

Submitted by Jack Yan.
That's easy VOX!!! It looks like I LOVE Bono, London, Travel, U2 and the U2360 Tour!
Hmmm, it also looks like I may have written a little about the anti crush. Hmmph. : (

What's your favorite memory from the summer of '09?
Visting London and seeing U2 at Wembley Stadium two nights in a row of course Vox!!!!!!! : )
I can't believe the U2 concerts at Wembley were two weeks ago already. Why does time go by so fast?!!
Two weeks ago tomorrow (8/16) was my last full day being a tourist in London. It was a beautiful sunny day in the mid 70's. I took full advantage by getting on the upper level of an open topped double decker bus to take loads of photos.
These are some of my favorites!
This is my hotel with the Marble Arch nearby.
Nicky Clarke is the hairdresser to London's well heeled including the late Princess Diana. (i have taken this tour before and knew what the guide was going to say!)
Love these jumpers in Piccadilly
Her Majestys Theater where I saw Phantom of the Opera with my brothers on a previous visit.
There was a lot of construction/cleaning going on in Trafalgar Square. Nelson didn't seem to mind
The Eye street view
Waterloo (my my at Waterloo napoleon did surrender...sing it Abba!)
Beautiful pub flowers
I love this egg building or Guerkin as it's known. It's on the top of my Vox profile too!
Driving over the Tower Bridge
Last look at Big Ben and the Eye
I am already thinking about my next visit, but until next time London I miss you!!!
: )
Blackberry Loves U2, however I am an Apple girl and looking around Wembley Stadium the two nights I was there.....so are LOADS of other people!!!
The iPhone is my first camera phone, so I wasn't sure what to expect!!!! It does take pretty good photos!
This was my first look at the new Wembley Stadium
This was how the Claw looked to me on the first night with the iPhone
This shot really shows how many people were crowded onto the PITCH!!
This is the second night.
Ahhhhh! I can see the top of the Claw!! Love seeing the Wembley Arch too!
This almost makes the claw look tie dyed!
I was pretty happy with how the iPhone worked out at Wembley and on vacation! : )
Night TWO!!!! U2 at Wembley Stadium on 8/15/09.
My car service picked me up 30 minutes earlier because he said that there would be more traffic and people on Saturday night. He was right. Even though the show didn't say it was sold out before I left to go to London there were more people at Wembley the second night!
This night I was still super excited, but a little more relaxed since I knew where I was going and I knew where to find my ride after the show. I checked out the merchandise stands again and grabbed a hat for me and two tees for friends. : )
My seat tonight was still in Block 122 but in row 36. Ahhhhhhhh! Much better for photos tonight!! A couple from Canada sat next to me and they were big fans! The wife was hysterical. When they started with Breathe she was screaming and giving me high fives!! : )
This is what they played (U2tours)
Venue: Wembley Stadium Opening Act(s): Glasvegas, The Hours Main Set: Breathe, No Line On The Horizon, Get On Your Boots, Magnificent, Beautiful Day, Until the End of the World, New Year's Day, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - Stand By Me, Stay (Faraway, So Close), Unknown Caller, The Unforgettable Fire, City of Blinding Lights, Vertigo, I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight (remix), Sunday Bloody Sunday, Pride, MLK, Walk On, Where the Streets Have No Name, One, Bad Encore(s): Ultraviolet, With or Without You, Moment of Surrender Comments: Bono sings the opening line of 'A Day Without Me' during The Unforgettable Fire. Later, he ad-libs new lyrics in the second verse of Bad, then closes the song with a bit of 'Fool To Cry' and 1-2 lines from '40.' Jimmy Page and Lars Ulrich are among the celebrities at the show.
I think that the second night was better than the first if possible!!! I REALLY love hearing the new songs live! then they added New Years Day and Bad !!! Ahhhhhhhh!
I think my favorite moment was 'Where the Streets Have No Name' because it's my favorite song, BUT the Edge ran laps around the stage!! Usually it's Bono who does the running but the Edge just took off!!! : )
Another favorite moment was when Bono told a story about one of their sound guys visiting Wembley when the new stadium was being built, and putting one of Edge's plectrums in the foundations. So now Edge is always part of Wembley. Edge is all around us!!! LOL!!
I took so many photos both nights but these are some good ones from night two! : )
I did not want the second night to end. I waited until the crowd thinned out a little bit before exiting. Who knows when I'll ever get back to Wembley Stadium again?!
The crowd was like a big wave just walking down the hill after the show towards Wembley Stadium train Station. I found my driver and had to explain to him that sometimes I get teary eyed when I am really, really, REALLY happy!
It felt strange Sunday night not getting picked up and taken to Wembley after doing it two nights in a row! LOL!!
I am VERY much looking forward to U2 coming here in September!!!!
Thank you U2, Wembley and London for a fantastic vacation!
