Have an experience: U2 play their second night of the Vancouver launch of their awkwardly capitalized iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE tour at Rogers Arena in support of that new album that appeared in everyone’s iphones a few months ago. Watch for local filmmaker Patrick Stark to try and conquer his fear of singing in public by joining Bono for a duet to the Achtung, Baby hit “One.” Hopefully The Edge won’t get too close to the edge of the stage again after what happened last night.
Get amused: Tommy Campbell, a local comedian best known for film and TV bit parts as a military badass and for mocking Uber on Twitter, performs a set at 8 p.m. tonight at Yuk Yuk’s.
Uber Driver: Mind if I play some jazz? Me: Go ahead. Uber Driver: You like? Me: Put down the f*cking sax before we crash. #PointsMe
