Bono on the (really) Big Screen

If you have even the slightest hint of affection for U2 then you must do yourself a favor:
go see U2 in 3-D at the Imax theater downtown.
Even if you don't consider yourself a U2 fan you should still go. You just might come out one.
It is an incredible experience. They take footage from about 7 or 8 concerts on U2's South American tour and combine it incredibly seamlessly to produce one hour and a half concert that is incredibly life-like.
I can at times be a Postman-ian sympathizer who bemoans our complete and total addiction to newer and better technology especially when invention becomes a substitute for experience. Like when we buy a fake Christmas tree but also buy a Christmas-tree scented candle to simulate the experience. I have been guilty of this and when you think about it its kinda ridiculous.
This Imax experience though is one of those times where you just sit back in awe of what can now-a-days be packaged and sold for $12.00. This Imax concert experience is pretty darn close to being there - plus it's with better sound and plush comfortable chairs.
