offical set up for U2

The following if from The Houstonist on of my favorite online publications. Now I know that I am not the biggest U2 fan, I like them but honestly I anyone that knows me know that I am a bigger fan of The Edge then Bono. But I digress, but a band like U2 likes to pull out all the stops when it comes to touring and their stage set up.

Over the years and thanks to an old friend I have grown to appreciative all the time, effort and skill it takes to get it all set up so the fans have something to gawk at. And of course, U2 goes all out when it comes to putting on a show.

Here is the stats on the load in for the U2 stage rig, and also y0u can see photos from yesterday’s load in from Groovehouse’s flickr stream.

To all U2 fans out there, have a great time and enjoy the show!!

Baby Steps Playgroup!

A few weeks back Julian and I met up with our play group Baby Steps for some good old fashion fun at Herman Park. Though Julian and I didn’t have the time to ride the train we did spend some time at the swings. I swear that I had more photos of Courtney’s daughter, Helena & Jennifer’s son Cameron.

Nevertheless here there are. Enjoy!

Snow, the Houston version.

This afternoon after Julian & I picked Riley up from school we were off to our normal ritual of “pick up food for dinner” run to the grocery store.

So we get to the local Whole Foods for some shopping fun when I had noticed that it was not raindrops that were now beating the hell of my windshield. No, it was yes in fact snowflakes.

SNOWFLAKES!!!!

I got Riley out of the car and the first thing this child does is opens his mouth to eat it. (of course.) This was very surreal for me, not to mention my kids. Granted it’s not gold enough to stick to the ground but never the less it is “snow” for all intensive purposes.

I am still a bit shocked at the weather today. Tomorrow it’s supposed to be beautiful sunny and 60! I have a few pictures that I will post either on here or on flickr.

So stay tuned.
