It was an absolute gong show to get over to Vancouver on Friday from Victoria.

Island life at it’s best: Fighting traffic on the Pat Bay, waiting for the next ferry, battling the Massey Tunnel traffic, whipping into BC Place just in time…It was all worth it.

For this.

So much love for this band and the messages of empowerment they bring on tour. Thanks @U2 for kicking off the tour in #yvr #U2JOSHUATREE2017 pic.twitter.com/gqbNSmRF5G
