Popmart Vancouver, One Year Ago

I am sitting at my desk, stressed out because work is crazy right now,
when I suddenly get a chill and have a flashback to one year ago today.
It was the day that changed my life forever, the day I became a Popmart
shopper. I have been a fan for years and saw 2 Zoo TV concerts, but
nothing compared with the magic of Popmart. I have never been so happy
nor I have I ever cried so much in my life.

A special hello to all the Wirelings I met at the dinner and the others
I talked with at the concert. It was great knowing that other people
felt the same way about U2 as I did. What a rush to walk around the
stadium wearing my Wire Tag and having people come up and ask me if it
was a backstage pass, if I knew U2, or if I was someone important. That
night I did feel important, important and special because I was
experiencing something truly incredible. The highlight was when Edge
acknowledged me, but I still get chills when I think of Bono singing
Please, WTSHNN, MW, NYD, Gone, and One. Call me corny or pathetic, but
I have tears in my eyes right now thinking about it. I have been to
other concerts, but no artist sings right to you like Bono does. Its
like he makes eye contact with every single person.
  
Tonight I will watch my tape of the concert, drink a bottle of wine, and
get lost again in the wonder of Popmart.

Thank you so much Bono, Edge, Larry, and Adam; words cannot express how
deeply you have touched my soul!

Peace, love, joy, remembrance, and tears!

Patti :-)
