I'm sitting here in the Calgary airport waiting for the bus to Banff, and mulling over last night. I made some notes on the flight this morning, but I'm not going to make the mistake of sharing any half-baked thoughts just yet.
There is one thing that makes more sense to me now. I mentioned the blue glow that spread through GM Place last night as people pulled out their cell phones and dialed the Prime Minister's office. It occured to me then that cell phones are the 21st century version of the "concert lighter", but the reality is they are much more than that. They can be an incredibly powerful tool. I get it now when the folks at MakePoveryHistory say "We don't want your money, we want your voice."
I get it now.
PS. Call Paul!
PPS. I've edited my original Vertigo post to indicate where they shot video during last night's concert.
Did the emails. Thanks.

No words really to describe the whole concert on Friday night. I think I was somewhat in a state of shock after it was all over. The music, the message, Edge, Bono and the boys, the worship, closing with 40 (dream come true), streets have no names was un-freaking-believable, make poverty history, call Paul, Yahweh-Original of the Species was crazy, the few minutes leading up to it all before they started, the encores, the noise (oh, the noise), the hands raised, Pride was amazing...okay, so I'll just stop naming every song. Mike, we are going to Portland, Monday December 19, let's do it!!!
