We were lucky enough to see Bono before the show and get into the ellipse. Here are some of my pictures. You can see the rest here:

My wife and I were there that night. Thanks for posting the pics.

This was the view from my seats - they were rear stage, but not too bad I didn't think. (Mr. Blu has some better shots from our digital camera, but I haven't gotten them uploaded yet.)

The only part of the evening that wasn't absolutely perfect is the pic that I tried to take of Bono when he arrived at the Garden Monday evening didn't turn out that well - I only got half his face. But his autographing the back of my ticket COMPLETELY made up for that!!

I'd love to see Mr. Blue's pics...

From that pic I can almost see us.

 

[BluRmGrl]

How 'bout either of these?

 

[satchelg]

Wow yep....

I'm in both pictures all the way to the far left about 3/4 the way to the top.

I have a dark blue shirt.

In the first picture, I am looking backwards kinda.

In the second picture, I am looking towards the right.

Any more of these let me know. Hopefully if there are
some a little farther to my left, you may have captured
my wife.

Thanks!

ya got any in which you can see the crowd at the tip of the ellipse? trying to find me.

Unfortunately, the only shot I took anywhere near the back of the ellipse was during the quasi- bullfight between B & Edge and it's way too dark to see anyone in the audience. (At least it is for me!)

 

[BluRmGrl]

satchelg, I think these two might be closer to what you're looking for.

Any better?

I was at the meet and greet on that day Bono signed my dancing girl picture while the crazy lady behind us screamed at bono to kiss her engagement ring
We lost our camera shortly after that so we dont have any pictures of it though

 

[satchelg]

LOL

In the top picture, I'm the one right above the edge taking a picture! My wife is in front of me to my right.

Thats great thanks

 

[satchelg]

You are lucky! Bono shook my wife's hand then took her pen away and signed everything for everyone except her!

That's ok though, we forgive him

She is too selfish. In the Philly show back in October, he sang WOWY to her and had her talk in the mic at the end of the song.
I said isn't that enough? LOL

I noticed that he had a pen in hand when he came up to me so I didnt need mine.
He is known for being a pen thief

 

[satchelg]

Its ok we just stole it from the waitress at Tir Na Nog anyway!

I noticed the same thing!! Matter of fact, Mr. Blu had just run across the street to K-Mart & bought 3 retractable Sharpies for me (he didn't know what color I'd want ). He made it back to me just as Bono was 2-3 people away from me - I picked a red Sharpie & readied myself.... Turns out, there was no need for worry - Bono had his very own pen. I remember commenting to Mr. Blu how strange that was - now I can tell him I know the woman whose pen B stole to autograph my ticket!

And Tara - I mentioned it in Headache's "Do you know these people?" thread that I wish I'd known you & Tim were at MSG 11/21 because I'd have loved to have met you. Now that I know you were just down the sidewalk from me when Bono pulled up & I still missed you, it's even more of a bummer!! Oh well - que sera, sera.

Hope you guys enjoyed yourself as much as we did.

Edited to say: Here's my new pride & joy.

Where IS that place, anyway??? I looked for it the whole time we walked around the Garden area... down to Times Square, etc.

I was hoping to pop in for a drink & meet some of you guys!

 

[satchelg]

I don't know the address exactly cause I'm not from NYC. But if you are facing the front of the line you go to that intersection
straight ahead and its caddycorner to the right.

It wasn't nearly as good as the one in Philadelphia.

I asked the guy when I got there if they were gonna have any kind of U2 pre or post party and he looked at me like there was something wrong with me - pretty snobby.

The one in Philly had U2 concerts playing on every TV and free
entry with ticket stub.

 

[BluRmGrl]

^ Typical. I walked all over it & didn't see the thing. Oh well - next time, right?

 

[satchelg]

Yep we'll definitely be back to MSG next time around. Who knew we could actually see U2 outside of Philly?
