Bono's in LA.

The friendliest place on the web for anyone that follows U2.
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
YES! Dreams come true people they do!

Get there early scope everything out, make sure you have the right entrances and exits and look for Brian/John. Good Luck!


:lol:

Doesn't sound like you're dreaming at all J, sounds like you have a PLAN.

Dreaming....with a plan= perfect strategy.

Especially if you are tired of, pissed off and annoyed by all the near misses (a miss is as good as a mile after all) and failures. :rolleyes:
 
so no one has posted anything about a meet-up in this thread or the other one. How about we meet in front of the theater on Saturday afternoon, scope the place out to see where they would come in, and then get something to eat?
 
ok. i'm here and don't have internet access. call me at

Chancey to put that up, romi, but I'll give you a call soon. The Gypsy will be doing recon on the Kodak before the show unless BF1 and BC are buying me din-din??:flirt: Maybe I'll see you all at 2pm outside the Kodak? I'll be in a black skirt, etc, and my golden pashmina direct from Strawberry's in NYC! Ahem! The height of fashion!


Hint, hint!!
 
All I said was that not everybody who meets Bono does so publicly, my friend. That is a simple statement of fact. Why get so personally upset? :hmm:
 
Can we please stick to the topic and not drudge up old issues.

To those of you that have a problem with Jamila, ignore her.
 
Here is the latest on "Bono in LA" from the LA Times:



Live: B.B. King and Bono at the Kodak Theatre


They highlight the Thelonious Monk Institute benefit that includes a
saxophone competition and appearances by Herbie Hancock, Robert Cray
and others.

Invite Bono and the Edge to a night celebrating B.B. King, and odds
are pretty good there will be some "Rattle and Hum" in the air.

Lucky music fans who attended the Thelonious Monk Institute's annual
benefit show at the Kodak Theatre on Sunday watched as the 83-year-old
King, backed by a host of jazz and blues glitterati and half of the
biggest band in the world, delivered a spirited rendering of "When
Love Comes to Town," originally featured on U2's landmark album from
1988.



It was the highlight of a night dedicated to "The Blues and Jazz: Two
American Classics," a program the institute organized that centered on
its 21st annual saxophone competition and a potpourri of inspired live
collaborations.

The three finalists vying for a prize package that included a
recording contract and a $20,000 scholarship performed with a crack
house band. Spitfire Dee Dee Bridgewater then joined them, testing
their improvisational skills with high-flying vocal fireworks.

With his technically masterful if occasionally over-polished playing,
Jon Irabagon earned top honors from the judges, though the crowd
seemed most behind the rich tone of lanky Fort Worth native Quamon
Fowler.



At the start of the program's second half, Bono and the Edge took the
stage to accept the institute's Herbie Hancock Humanitarian Award on
behalf of Microsoft chief turned Experience Music Project benefactor
Paul Allen. "We're not as smart, but I think we're better looking,"
the ever-loquacious Bono joked.

From there, it was all about the wildly influential sounds of New
Orleans and the Mississippi Delta. Soundtrack favorite Terence
Blanchard led an ensemble of Monk Institute students through a
spirited "Bourbon Street Parade," and blues birthplace (and recent
Monk Institute beneficiary) Dockery Farms was saluted in a three-song
tribute from guitarists Joe Louis Walker, Robert Cray and Keb' Mo',
who seemed to have stepped right out of history with a slim-cut suit
and a soulful rendition of "Walking Blues."



But the night belonged to Founder's Award winner King, who drew the
evening's entire lineup for the show's finale, including Hancock,
Wayne Shorter and George Duke. As the music swelled to a close, Bono
genuflected at the foot of the seated blues legend and his six-string
companion, Lucille; another loyal subject forever indebted to the King.
