Wednesday Bloody Wednesday

So did anyone here win U2 tickets on the radio? :-)

According the the two Somerville Theatre staffers I talked to last night, tonight's scheduled movies are still screening and tickets are still good if you have them. I don't know if that information will still be true tonight, but I've got my Watchmen ticket and am going to try to hear some U2 sound-bleed in the hallway, if I'm let in at all. This venture will probably end in epic failure.

According to ron_newman, MOBA is closed to the public tonight.

According to the Metro, The Burren will be broadcasting the concert live, and musician Hugh McGowan (their open mic host) will be performing U2 covers.
