Life Lately.....Exciting, relaxing and exhausting all at the same time!

Haven't really blogged in a while and of course I kind of miss it. There has just been so much going on lately that I have to get off my chest and write down before I lose some memories. 

Last week my parents came to visit and we gallivanted around the bay area eating everything in sight! It was nice to see them and enjoy their company while they were out here visiting beautiful California. We went to Monterey, San Francisco, Santa Cruz and enjoyed a few KRTY sponsored shows with the comedy of Killer Beaz at Fortino Winery in San Martin, CA. We also attended a songwriter's show at our favorite winery, Clos La Chance, also in San Martin, CA.

After my parents left, I was lucky enough to work the two U2 shows that they were playing at the SAP Center in San Jose, CA! I worked merch both nights and it was crazy busy and exhausting at the same time.

The reason I am sharing that I worked is what happened before the 2nd show I worked. I was making the walk from the parking lot to the employee entrance and was walking by the back gate where the artists, sharks players normally come in. As I was passing this time, there was a crown of fans standing back there waiting (more than usual). I saw a black SUV enter the gate and stop, the lead guitarist know as The Edge gets out and starts saying hi to fans. I keep walking by.......

Now I mention that U2 is one of my favorite bands and when would opportunity arise again to say hi to one of the band members? Never! So I go to the other side of the fence next to some other fans at the end and Edge comes around the corner. He stops in front of me and I wave, he comes closer and I shake his hand and say "Hi, Nice to Meet You! ". And just like that, I'm in complete shock. I keep thinking about that moment and as crazy as it sounds, it might just be my favorite memory to date right now. When else can you say that you said hi to an international rock star on the way into work??!?!
