in other news, last night andrew and i went to see the one and only U2 at the mellon arena in pittsburgh. it was fabulous. the opener was damian marley (a reggae band from jamaica) and they were fantastic. then the U2 set was amazing, and we were oh so close to the stage. so close, in fact that the combination of smushing, heat, dehydration, low blood sugar, and my compromised health may or may not have caused me to faint. yes, that's right, i fainted at the U2 show. oh my gosh. i suppose it's fitting: it was the vertigo tour after all. (VER-ti-go (n.): A sensation of irregular or whirling motion, either of oneself or of external objects.)luckily, i was able to grab andrew in time, and he helped me through the crowd to safety. i remember the entire process, however vaguely, and came to within a minute or two. i'm awfully embarrassed to admit it, but i felt that i had to get the truth out there before andrew has much of a chance to circulate some rumors. i've already heard some of the blatant lies he intends to tell (most of them include a lot of beer), and so i am telling you the truth. please don't judge me.
(in his defense, however, andrew was a very good caretaker. he was very attentive, especially considering that U2 shows are arguably his favorite thing in the world.)
well, i'd love to gush about the show, but i have to get to that film discussion now. i will say this: it was a very political show, which was fabulous. they were plugging the ONE campaign (to make poverty history... go sign the petititon at www.ONE.org), among other things. if you'd like to read about it, here's a review: http://www.u2tours.com/displaymedia.src?ID=20051022&XID=8296&Return=. all right, perhaps i'll add more later. but for now, wish me luck tonight! adios!

mmmm...i remember when i was but a girl of 17 and attended the Pop Mart tour. so good. mel is going tomorrow night in detroit and almost gave me her extra ticket...but i have school. hope you are feeling better. maybe you're just one of those weirdos that passes out at concerts...like the ones michael jackson always shows in his videos...maybe not. hehehe.
Kath, I think we all know the *real* cause of your fainting at this concert...
A certain someone...
A.K.A Kath's concert "pal"...
Father of your children...
Name starts with an "E"...
Ends with a "ncore"...
Need I write more?
Nice coverup story, though.
becky, please don't ever compare me to anything related to michael jackson ever again. and also, do you HAVE to go to school? it's a great show, and it is worth it.
nate. for the last time, i haven't seen encore in four years. nothing ever happened in the fifteen minutes that we spoke to each other. we've never been to a concert together, so he could not possibly be my "concert pal." i have no children, and even if i did, he, of all people, would NOT be their father.
i kind of hate you, jerk.
Do we *have* to keep hating on the King of Pop. He was cleared, CLEARED!
And Kat, you saw Encore last night, lots happened, he is your concert buddy and father of your thirteen children and he, of all people, is most certainly the father.
Hey Kath, I have to admit that when I read you had fainted my first thought was "pregnant women faint - Nate's gonna have a field day with this." Old habits die hard. Anyway, the real reason I'm commenting is that October 23 is a national holiday in Hungary that commemorates those who gave their life for their country (or their arm, I guess), especially in the 1956 revolution against the Soviets. It's kind of like Memorial Day.
I'm so glad Encore made it on to your blog. He's been such a special part of your life.
wow. i just found your comment, bobo. if you weren't clear on the other side of the planet, we'd have it out. you boys and your stories. you are intent on ruining my good name. jerkface.
if anyone is interested in hearing the REAL versions of the encore and/or andrew stories, please contact ME. thank you.
