Lately, I've had this raging urge to bite his lower lip. It's not going away, either. Where's my therapist's hotline number?!

I sent the link w/Bono and Bocelli (sounds like a new line of pasta meals) to my mad Italian friend. She called me within minutes of getting it, rattling off something in Italian...when she calmed down she said to be sure to thank whoever found this! So, thanks again, from her. (In Italian!) [/QUOTE


Imagine being a therapist and hearing this!

"Hi, I have a problem. I have this insane need to bite Bono's lower lip!"

My friends have the prob with me too the same way... Glad I'm not the only Bono obsessive!

Here's a link that was posted on U2.com (honestly I haven't read the whole thread so maybe this was already posted).

I put myself on the waiting list for the Amex card (if they decide to unveil it in the U.S.)

I hope my friend recorded the CNN report...

Thank everyone for sharing the pics

I came in to work today to see RED banners in all of our elevators and RED magnets everywhere all over our office building and a picture of Bono and I on my company intranet! I work for one of the companies participating in the project. I heard about it last year and knew it was a go when Bono visited our offices in November! I was on vacation that day (getting ready to hit the GA line) but my coworkers called me and I made it in just in time to meet him, get a bunch of stuff signed and a picture. He was incredibly kind and sweet and took quite a bit of time to talk to me. I still can't believe that after being a fan for 20 years, I met him at the office! It's still unbelieveable!

I work for the same company and it was cool to bring up the internet and see him there and that we are one of the participating companies. That's awesome that you made it in to meet him!

Ditto It's being unveiled here in March

 

[kellyahern]

My father says that Bono's supposed to be on CNBC's "On The Money" program (or there's going to be a report about today) sometime within the hour.

Sorry, I wish I could be more specific .

edit: I think it's on now

edit2: It's over now. It was just a quick, on the run interview (they interviewed Bono as he was walking )

 

[verte76]

Thanks for the sexy pix!!!!

 

[Lila64]

thanks for the pics and the clips and the links (added to the waiting list too )

I don't wear Converse, but $395 for those shoes?

And what company are all of you working for that is participating? lucky you got to meet him back in November bratty_cat

Yeah, I just watched the clip with the shoe price .

I think I'll stick with the credit card

 

[jojo100]

um...who is going to buy a $395 pair of chucks?

maybe the gap clothes will be more reasonable.

the amex card is a great idea, though. count me in on that!

Congratulations! I’ve been a fan for almost 24 years and it never happened, but I keep telling myself that I’ll meet them same day.

 

[dazzledbylight]

oohhh you still got chances! stay positive!

it took me a longish time and I still have NOT met bono yet. ...and i've been a fan for 25 yrs!

 

[LostAtMoon]

So, we both have to be positive. It will happen and I can wait.

 

[julianamendoza]

Thank you girls for the video links... you're awesome!

i love everything about this new idea, except for the price of those shoes!!! $395 And the Converse guy's so proud anouncing the price and the $15- 20 contribution to the manufacturers!!

I would love to get the credit card, though...and the t-shirts, and any other affordable product they come up with!

yeah, Converse boy said 10% right? And then the interviewer turned around to the wholesale cost/contribution of $15-20 if I remember (it's been hours since I watched the clip). Either way, waaaaaaaaay too much money for a pair of frickin' shoes! Make them semi-affordable, you sell more, thus you raise more money. Who the hell could afford a $400 pair of sneakers? That would probably cover a lifetime supply of Nike regular walking shoes for me, and my one pair will last many many years. Sheeesh

ok, rant over


ETA: Just think, one pair of Converse shoes or my one R-T ticket to Hawaii in April

 

[oktobergirl]

There are definitely people who are in the market for a 400.00 pair of designer sneakers. If 1000 people by those sneakers ( i'm sure at least that many will...), that is still a nice chunk of change for the Global Fund.

Personally, I am very interested in the Red Amex card, and hope that it will become available in the US soon. I think it's such a fabulous idea. Use your purchasing power to fund the Global Fund, wow.

Bono and Bobby Shriver=marketing geniuses.

 

[Lila64]

well, more power to the wealthy or those who can afford those shoes. I'm on the red card waiting list too...

 

[anjarw]

you can watch the whole press conference here now:

http://gaia.world-television.com/wef/worldeconomicforum_annualmeeting2006/default.aspx?sn=press1

and in about an hour bono will be on "Next steps for Africa", there's a live broadcast at 10.45 here:

[Lila64]

Thanks for posting the link. Too bad the Gap guy kept turning his head while talking - you could barely make out what he was saying.

On a side note, I think someone should contact Split Enz and license one of their old songs for some sort of marketing at some point... I could see it now on a commercial. Of course the song it 'I See Red'
