Twitter, blogs aren’t speechless over Lady Gaga at MOCA

L.A.’s Museum of Contemporary Art celebrated its 30th anniversary last night with a grand gala, dreamt up by artist Francesco Vezzoli, that included Lady Gaga and dancers from the Bolshoi Ballet. You can already find many, many, many blog posts, videos, pictures, pictures, pictures and pictures from the event. Even Getty Images and LIFE were there. If that isn’t enough for you, here are more MOCA birthday bash pictures. These ones were shared by people on Twitter; people like Mason Miranda of College Station, Texas who posted this photo and tweeted, “she was performing Speechless.!! I like the panio.!!.” A big thank you to @amhhh for yet another good tip.

Oh, before the rest of the pictures, I should mention that admission to MOCA is free through November 20.

These fans didn’t wait for U2 to come to them

In case you haven’t heard, U2 wil be “webcasting” their concert from the Pasadena Rose Bowl tonight. But hardcore fans from Southern California didn’t wait for the band to come to them. Nope. They caught Bono and crew at recent venues in neighboring states. Eric Wakeling of Orange County shared this image from the University of Phoenix Stadium. “U2 was awesome tonight!! I’m exhausted. My phone was jammed so I couldn’t tweet during show. Sorry @atu2”
