U2 360

I popped over to London last weekend (as you do) to see the U2 360 tour. Its the 6th time I have seen them live and whilst none compare to Croke Park in 1987, this was still a phenomenal gig.

I could harp on about the gig and how great it was and so on, actually I had, but then I deleted it!! All I am going to do is post an image or 2 of the stage setup, it was possibly the most incredible stage I have ever seen!

The image above was created using Microsoft Ice. you feed it multiple shots of a scene and it combines them to make one big panoramic view. Google the software, it is free and very very easy to use.

That’s a picture of the 360° screen that hangs above the middle of the stage. I think that was taken during Sunday Bloody Sunday and no, I have no idea what the writing means though!

Thats just a random shot of the screen and how it expands down over the stage. It reminded me of the Mother ship in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

I suppose I ought to put in one group shot… Unfortunately this one seems to miss out on Larry!

Anyhow, a great night was had by all (nothing strange there, after all, it was a U2 gig!)

Help!!!! Please help!!!!

Twitter has been offline for the last few hours!! Has bird flu finally caught up with Twitter?

What am I going to do, who am I going to talk to???

I feel all alone, isolated, insecure. How am I going to tell the world my inner most thoughts, feelings, wants, needs, depravities…

If only there was someway to talk to people, communicate with them, relate with them….

This is what the end of the world must feel like :(
