Do you know where your Bono is today?

[iamshazza]

He is in CINCINNATI!!!! My dad calls me at work and he's like, yeah, I saw on the news that he is in Cincinnati he's going to talk to AIDS volunteers and visit the site where the Underground Railroad was where the museum is being built.

I apologize if this is old info, but I, being the slacker I am, was totally clueless as to the man's visitation to our fine *cough* city...

I'm gonna try to get my friend to head downtown with me and see if we can track him down. I can't believe he's in Cincinnati!!

Good luck iamshazza!! I hope you see the B-man today!!! Wow. I can't imagine what it'd be like if he were in my home town (Birmingham, Alabama). I sure as hell wouldn't be at home in front of my computer!!!

[verte76]

Nashville is only a six-hour drive. Unfortunately I have some conflicting plans I made three weeks ago. I have to go someplace else this weekend. I have no idea where the thing is going to be in Nashville. Damn.....

 

[madonna's child]

Cincinnati!!??? We are in the same state! Bono and I are in Ohio! (Or we were, he's probably gone by now.) Coolness.

No but according to the Chicago Suntimes:

Rock star pops in on unsuspecting truckers

December 6, 2002

REMINGTON, Ind.--Halfway through his long haul from St.Paul, Minn., to Atlanta, trucker Harold Clement was minding his own business at the counter of the Hoosier Heartland truck stop enjoying his steak and eggs when The Pest arrived.

"Hi, I'm Bono," The Pest said, offering his hand to the bib overall-clad, mullet-hairstyled Clement.

"So it was you who robbed the bus," the Irish rocker added, jibing the total stranger easily three times his size.

In the only spontaneous stop so far on Bono's seven-day Heart of America tour to promote awareness of the AIDS crisis in Africa, the man some in the White House call "The Pest" stunned the guys at the counter. They had been wondering aloud Thursday who all the "New York types" were wandering around the buffet's steam tables before Bono arrived.

"I like what you done at the Super Bowl last year," Clement told the singer, referring to U2's post-9/11 tribute in New Orleans.

Bono chatted with Clement and other truckers at the counter about AIDS and poverty in Africa, and about how truck drivers in Africa are among groups with the highest risk of contracting HIV. Then, the singer sat down with a local reporter and a plate of fried chicken and franks and beans in a nearby booth.

Clement, still stunned by running into the rock star in the middle of Indiana, continued a running commentary: "You keep up the good work. Hey, when's U2 coming to Birmingham?"

"I wouldn't rule that out," Bono answered.

After finishing his lunch, Bono stopped on his way out to talk to Clement again.

"You ever need someone to drive for you in Africa, you pay my way over, and I'll drive for you," Clement offered.

"You might regret saying that," Bono said, laughing.

Later Thursday, Bono spoke to a group at a theater in Indianapolis.

"You have the most fertile ground in the world in the Midwest," he told the Indianapolis audience. "You can grow anything in the Midwest. And we're gonna grow a movement."

The tour arrives in Cincinnati early this morning before continuing on to Louisville, Ky.

I thought this was a cute story, so I thought I would share it.

Nashville is only a six-hour drive.

You know, the difference between British and American people really makes me laugh. ONLY a 6 hour drive????? I worked out the other day that I live about 200 miles from the ferry port that would take me to Dublin (if you get the posh ferry the crossing takes about 1 1/2 hours or something)

But I've only been once. I reckon in total it would take me about 5 hours to get there. I think I've made a long journey when I go to visit my friend in Derby - about an hour away.

Us Brits are crap with distances. Well, I am at least......

actually, to tell the truth, I've only been to dublin once cos I'm really poor at the moment....and none of my friends want to go.....

anyway.....back to the conversation this thread is meant to be about.........
