I wanted to blog once a week. This has not happened. I apologize. But, I had an eventful last week and have to blog about it. The week started this past Sunday. My mom and I took Eric down to Atlanta for the U2 concert. I would join him Monday afternoon.
Sunday afternoon we ate at Eric's favorite restaurant - Pappadeaux. They serve Cajun seafood. I am not a huge fish/seafood fan but the service is always so great it is not a bad place to eat a meal. But, because the closest one is in Atlanta, when we are in Atlanta, we eat there every chance we can. So for the U2 trip, we ate there 4 times.
Eric's favorite appetizer (I like it a lot too) is the fried alligator. You can see it in the forefront of the picture above. It is very tasty and spicy. It isn't very fishy, which is a plus for me.
Every meal Eric ordered the fried crabfingers. I have personally witnessed Eric eat two plates of these in one meal.
This is the chopped salad that I ate twice of the four times we were there. It has fried chicken and avocado. I also had a steak sandwich one night and hazelnut crusted tilapia the other.
The highlight of the trip had to be the U2 concert. Eric loves U2. I enjoy their music a lot but Eric is the true die-hard fan. This is a picture of the stage before the opening act Muse preformed. The people standing around the stage paid general admission and waited all day long to be the first people in so they could get as close to the stage as possible. While it seems like a lot of fun, the possibility of not being able to go to the bathroom scares me.
The stage for the 360 Tour is the most expensive in history topping out at $3 million. As the stage was prepared for U2, I noticed that each of the lights were controlled by individual people. It may be hard to see in this picture but if you look closely you can see a person seated behind each light. The lights were brought to the ground, the light technicians were loaded and belted in, and then suspended into the air. For someone who is as scared of heights as I am, I was very impressed by this.
There was a 360 degree screen above the stage so you couldn't miss anything. Overall the band sang at least 23 songs. I told Eric the night would be perfect if they sand Sunday, Bloody Sunday. Bono must of heard me.
The screen also extended all the way to the stage during parts of the show. As you can see, the Georgia Dome was packed.
Another shot of the stage. The bridge in the forefront moved throughout the concert allowing for the band members to come out to the outer circle and run around.

As you know, I'm a fan of the food pictures. What a neat getaway and thanks for making me wait over a week to read about it ;).
