Can't Miss It: Friday

We were trying to figure out how to gracefully suggest you go see U23D at the Seattle Science Center's IMAX before it closes (the run ends the 19th), when we ran into Mandy's blog. Mandy, take it away:

i think U2 always reminded me of my dad. (not that this is a bad thing) but when i was little he might have put on some bono and cranked up the stereo. which i am pretty sure mortified me as a child. no one wants to be dropped off at school in junior high by your dad cranking what you think at the time is "old man rock". this is where it think my slight resentment to U2 came from. but my eyes have been opened, the clouds are clearing and i can see what i have been missing.

If you're older than Mandy, it's a bit of a trip to see the band in hi-def 3D and realize, as we believe someone once said about the Stones, "Man, these schmoes are old and tired." As is, apparently, Bono's voice. Still, with the 3D, the experience is incredibly immersive and shot largely from the band's point of view on and around the stage. Every once in a while the camera crowd surfs out across this gigantic, crowded stadium and you see little dots far, far away and you realize that's where you would have been sitting.
