26 SEP 10
Right off the bat let me say that I had an absolutely EPIC time in San Sebastian! I can assure you that the write up about that weekend will be making the blog relatively soon and I can´t wait to lock in those ´good times´ for the sake of posterity, integrity and all things hysterical. However, without any disrespect to Jay and Dina, the reason that I had San Sebastian on the agenda in the first place was because ´the boys´ were going to put on a show in this town and I simply thought, well when in Spain get yourself a dose of ´Unos, dos, tres, catorce!´As for my perception of the gig, how I felt and how the boys played, well I´ll leave that until after I post this photos - you´ll understand why in a minute.
...Oh yes, I took this shot - U2 - Anoeta Stadium - San Sebastian
The Edge - Adam Clayton - Bono

So there we have it, by far the best concert experience of my life. The band that I´ve grown up with over the last twenty years doing their thing in such a magical town, I really couldn´t have dreamt of anything better. I was on such an emotional high at the close that I wasn´t able to even give myself the opportunity of sitting still for the few moments necessary to survive the 5min cab or bus ride back to our apartment approximately 5kms away, I had to run.
Thanks to Dina and Jay for putting up with my U2 insanity over the weekend, you both made the experience that much better!
