The craziest way I wound up at a U2 concert

Tweet

Way back in the day when I had just started teaching I was struggling. I was constantly getting crap from my mother. I had broken up with my boyfriend. I was trying to figure out how to even be a teacher. I spent a lot of evenings having dinner with my grandmother, aunts, and uncles because they were always together. I also spent a fair amount of time at the library searching for new books to read. One afternoon I was at the main branch of the county library. I was just wandering through the aisles browsing when one of my uncles showed up and asked if I wanted to go to a U2 concert at Madison Square Garden in NYC that night. My other uncle had gotten 2 tickets but decided he didn't want to go. I was like "hell yeah!" What was crazy to me was that he knew where to find me. I don't think I even had a cell phone at that time. I don't remember the specifics but my guess is that we drove to MetroPark and then caught a train to Penn Station which is under MSG. It was U2's Elevation tour with the heart-shaped stage and to this day remains the best concert I've ever seen. It was the most random but best concert experience. A comment I just left for @FourWalls about a song made me think of it.
