Take a more than 70 000 awesome Capetonians and send them off on a victory march through the streets of the Mother city towards the amazing spectacle of the Cape Town stadium and you have yourself a U2 concert. Perhaps by U2 standards this is small, it happens in every city they tour, they been doing it since the 70s but i tell you what, Cape Town has never seen a site like that before, streets filled with drunk hot U2 fans, everyone in the best mood of their lives, walking in anticipation towards the great mother ship, the claw (thats they giant rig that U2 use, which sits in the middle of the stadium giving people a 360 degree view, hence the name of the tour). Well the fan walk was open and totally packed. Every sidewalk cafe and bar was filled to the brim. We ended up finding a liquor store and buying some beers which we threw back in copious amounts outside on of the bars on the way, cheap solution to the problem huh. At this point I better apologize for the quality of this post, serious hangover! My brain function is seriously low today, yes even lower than it normally is. I digress, back to U2. Great show, great seats, actually they were standing only, but right up on the stage, in the VIP area, i was 1 meter away from Bono, dont think he saw me though, although Allan Clayton did give me a huge smile. Gary Teighman, the former Springbok Rugby Captain was just behind us. Well U2 certainly put on an big show, that rig was incredible. The show was rather political but you know thats U2 for you. Viva Aung San Suu Kyi! Democracy for Burma now!
