As a member of ONE (an organization started by Bono) Sarah got an email a few weeks ago asking if she would like to volunteer for the U2 concert on May 29, 2011. We both signed up thinking it was for a good cause and we might also get to see part of the concert. It turned out to be an amazing experience.
We spent about six hours before the concert signing people up to become ONE members on iPads (www.one.org). In return for volunteering we got to watch the concert from the “inner circle”, which is about as close to the stage as anyone could get. To top it all off, Riley got to walk on the outer circle of the stage during the song “Walk On” to hold an amnesty International lamp.
We had a great time and U2 puts on an unbelievable show! It was well worth being on our feet for ten hours straight.
