Concert.

I braved the cold with some friends to attend the We Are One concert yesterday at the Lincoln Memorial. We never made it to the Reflecting Pool area; instead, we were diverted to the Washington Monument to watch the concert on Jumbotrons. It was a little weird though, because we were still close enough to hear the concert, and the sound was already delayed on the monitor -- so we ended up hearing, then seeing, then hearing again the concert.

I'm curious, is there a competitive market for jumbotrons? The ones we were watching weren't exactly jumbo, and I wonder if that was a failure of the market.

My take on the concert? U2 was briliant, Garth Brooks was amazingly entertaining, and Beyonce didn't sing Single Ladies.

On a side note, of course there were people protesting socially liberal stances -- you know, berating the gays, the abortions, and the sports nuts. What? No really, "sports nuts" was one of the categories of heathens that are going to tear apart the fabric of society.
