For Wokkus...

So, there hasn't been much written here in the past few weeks. The Celtics are no longer playing and they've been the bulk of my bloggage. Wokkus is getting peevish, so I told him I'd write about what U2's doing. He said he'd read it, so here you go:

U2 are currently rehearsing for their upcoming U2 360 tour, to begin June 30 in Spain. That run will continue throughout the summer, with the second leg beginning in America at Chicago's Soldier Field. They come to Gillette Stadium on September 20 and 21 (I'm going to both, of course). After that leg, it's presumed that they'll continue in 2010 in Europe and America and possibly other locations as well. 

Meanwhile, the largest stage setup ever is being constructed (I have a hard time imagining that, considering U2 have put on the gargantuan ZooTV and PopMart sets in the 1990s). It's nicknamed The Claw and allows the band to play in the round and increases the capacity of the stadium by thousands since it doesn't block off an entire section behind the stage. 

So yeah, that's what's going on. Hope you enjoyed, Wokkus.
