On Wednesday, a few friends and I went to see U2 at the Reliant Stadium in Houston. In order to be allowed to buy tickets early to what I thought would be a quick sellout, I became a member of the U2 Fan Club ($!). The concert didn’t sell out, but the General Admission tickets did, so the plan paid off.
More after the break…
In summary:
For details, more photos and video, read on.

Here’s a small challenge for our readers:
Look deep into the eyes of the little child in the photo and try to guess who it is. I will post the answer in a few days. Those of you that already know – not because they guessed, but because they saw the source of the photo – please refrain from ruining it for everyone.
The winner will receive an imaginary check for $99.
Buddy and Sno Cone Club Vice President of Deliciousness David Becker is starting work in 40 (well, now 37) days. He decided to do something outlandish every day and blog about it.
The Rules: Every day for forty days, I must do something new, interesting, or unique, something completely absurd, or something I’ve always wanted to do but never had the time, motivation, or cojones to do.
You can follow it at http://thefortydays.com/. In the meantime I’ve added it to my Google Reader and to this blog’s blogroll (see the column to the right). Should be fun to watch. Maybe I’ll be in one of those posts one of these days.
It finally rained… and it rained hard in Austin all weekend. But it’s still pretty dry out there which reminded me of these very famous TV commercials from a very successful water conservation campaign in Mexico all the way back in 1983. What I did not know is that the kid in the ads is the son of comedian Enrique “El Polivoz” Cuenca. Check them after the break…
The MKX brings you another uncanny resemblance:
