Sparkle and Live 8

















Random, but I love the diet coke sparkle commercial. lol It makes me so happy. I wish real life had sparkles like that, and that everyone was dancing on roller skates.

Here are a couple pictures I took yesterday. The first one shows Rob Thomas on the screen. So hot. Anyway. haha. The second one has Sarah McLachlan playing at the piano. In both, you see the Philadelphia Museum of Art waaaay in the distance. Yes, we were that far away. However, we were probably in front of, I don't know, a lot of people... so most people had a view like ours. We were advised by some kids on the train that staying near a screen was better than trying to get up to the stage. That would have been hopeless.

So, the funny thing was that we had no idea how popular Stevie Wonder is. We thought about leaving early because he was closing out the show, but when they introduced him the crowd went wild. Who knew? When they changed the stage between bands, they'd show footage from the other Live 8s in London, Tokyo, Berlin, J-berg, etc. Very cool. Have that many people been connected like that before? We drove back to DC from Philly and were fast asleep by 1am. Sweeeet. :)
