Energy

I can not even come up with the words to describe what it was like to be a part of the pre-game crowd on the floor for the U2/Green Day performance. From standing there at the loading dock leading into the dome, with a thousand people (most teenagers) cheering behind me, to the energy coming inside the Dome. It truly came alive on Monday night. I didn't sense this kind of energy during Mardi Gras, French Quarter Fest, or even Jazz Fest. This is a huge step in the right direction for the city. I don't know how, but it is. I got to see Harry Connick Jr, as he was going through security at the loading dock. He was with one of his daughters and some friends. He smiled and waved at all of us crazies. Archie Manning walked right pass me.


I watched online via rhapsody the performance last night. I did see me, at least twice in the very beginning only. Of course I knew where to look. I don't know if it is possible to save it from that website, I am not that technically savvy. (heh savvy?) So if someone knows how? That would be awesome. I may try to even figure out screen captures from there. I just hope that everyone gets to feel that kind of euphoria at least once in their life in some way, shape or form.
