I am at the hotel here in San Diego after an uneventful (except for the beginning) flight down ...

I finally fell asleep last night around 2PM, and I had to be up at 3:30AM to get ready and get to the airport on time. I had two alarms set. One alarm went off and I turned it off, and then ... nothing. I groggily opened my eyes and looked at the clock ... 5:10AM, and my flight left at 5:45AM! Visions of Tyler laughing at me for sleeping in and missing my flight raced through my head - the ultimate comeuppance for me and Blair ragging on him about our vacations on Friday night. Luckily, my clock was 20 mins fast, but that still meant I had zero time to make it there. I threw on some clothes and grabbed my (heavy) suitcase and flew down the stairs (of all the weekends for the elevator to be broken) with my cell phone in one hand calling the cab company. The only problem was, they didn't pick up. I was on hold for what seemed like hours before I just gave up and hauled my suitcase back up the stairs and went to the parking garage to get my car (P.S. - FUCK YOU Regina Cabs). I raced out of my garage (literally) and ran every red light and stop sign and broke every speeding law on the books and managed to get checked in with time to spare. Props to my family for waking up early and going through a lot of hassle to bring my car back to my condo :)

Anyways, the rest of the day was fine - all my flights were empty so there was lots of room to stretch out and I found out that Delta is a member of the SkyTeam alliance so my Worldperks Silver Elite status works with them, too :)

There is a review of the dress rehearsal up on @U2 so check it out and picture me watching that show tomorrow night and you doing the opposite. If it makes you feel better, looks like there will be a random drawing for access inside the stage, so unless I'm super lucky I won't get to watch the show from there.

Oh, and to make you feel really better, here's a few rumoured U2 tour dates for the fall:

Sept. 29, 2005 @ Calgary, Alberta - Pengrowth Saddledome
Sept. 30, 2005 @ Calgary, Alberta - Pengrowth Saddledome


Thanks for the call from the concert Derek! It was a great reminder that I won't be in Mexico, see U2, and that I LIVE IN MY PARENTS BASEMENT!!
