The Fly
Long time lurker, first time poster.
Thanks to this board, I have accomplished a dream. My son, mother and I were able to meet Bono before the soundcheck this afternoon. He signed my CD and said to my son "Who's this little guy?" I told him his name was Hunter and he was two. He shook his hand.
Unfortunately I don't have a shot of this--I was soaking up the moment. Which was shattered when my mom tells him "My daughter has been in love with you since junior high." **blush**
He was really nice, signed a lot of different things, and in a really good mood. He then went to the other side of the driveway and did more meet-and-greet. He had to go because he said they are starting to work on filming for the DVD.
I met some really nice people in line. Everyone was cool--no one screamed or anything. It was just a very cool moment. I still am in shock and probably not being articulate at all. But thanks everyone who posted before about their experiences--it helped so much. Thanks everyone, Thanks Bono, Thanks security guys who let him sign and take photos.
I posted the photos in the tour photo gallery as I don't know how to post them here.
PS/If anyone has photos of Bono shaking hands with my son--he was wearing a cream colored sweater with a hood--please let me know. I'd love to have them and will pay the cost.
