Love Comes To Town

Edge and Bono are set to honour BB King and Paul Allen of Microsoft at the Thelonius Monk Institute of Jazz in Los Angeles next weekend.

B.B. King, a friend of the band since The Love Town tour of the 1980s, will receive the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Founders Award while Microsoft Co-Founder Paul G. Allen, another good friend, will be presented with the 2008 Herbie Hancock Humanitarian Award.

It all takes place at the Kodak Theatre in LA next Sunday, October 26th.

The Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, a nonprofit jazz education organization, was founded in memory of the legendary jazz pianist Thelonious Sphere Monk. 'The Institute fosters the next generation of jazz greats by offering the world's most promising young musicians college level training by internationally recognized jazz masters, educating young people around the world about jazz through innovative public-school initiatives, and presenting a wide range of programs that help expand and perpetuate America's indigenous musical art form.'

Is $50 ok? That's what it came to after the fees and stuff. If you do, where do you want to meet up?

 

[RedRocksU2]

Well, I am waiting to see if the ladies are setting up a meeting point before going in?
Or I could just meet you outside the entrance of the kodak theater?

 

[Carek1230]

Thanks for the info comet. Sounds like a cool event, hope you all have fun.

 

[romi]

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?

 

[bonocomet]

No meet up was planned but hopefully we'll see all the Interferencers there!
