Laura and I went to see the U2:3D movie at the IMAX today.
WOW.
I’m not a huge fan (though I do like them), but this was fantastic. I don’t know how the hell they did it… the 3D effect was unbelievable. And the surround sound audio was stellar, too. It’s an entire 14-song concert from their 2006 “Vertigo” tour that was filmed in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Completely worth the $12… probably one of the most amazing cinematic experiences I have ever had. Definitely better than being in the audience at the show.
Seriously.
Don’t miss it while you have the chance.
Last night, Laura and I went (with Mark and Serena) to see the Ashes 2 Ashes B-boy Championships. I can’t even describe how awesome it was — there was even a 6 year old one one of the teams (though most were probably early 20’s). People from all over the US, Korea, Japan… defying the laws of physics.
To get a faint idea of what we saw last night, check out this video on YouTube:
B-boy “SO” from South Korea
(Yeah, we saw him live!)
And last but not least, look what happens when breakdancing goes wrong.

Awesome show. Better cause L was there with me, right next to the stage.
