Was it really crowded?? You all got such great pictures!! - Really wanted to go but couldn't. Is he wearing Prada sandals??? Love them - nice toes. Who is he talking to on the cell??? - Sorry so many questions.

 

[achtung_zoo]

yeah-it was crowded, i got there early to get a good spot, but there was over 1000 people there. im pretty sure independence mall was packed.

 

[EPandAmerica]

Great pics everyone!!!

Now please someone post a transcript.

 

[kellyahern]

ugh, I missed the thing on cnn too

great pics again everyone

wow, 1000 people, that's great!

achtung_zoo, I was also having problems with photobucket last night

 

[Convoy]

I wonder if anyone heard me screaming when I was there. When Bono said that he loved America I yelled out "We love you too!" haha.

Here are some pictures.

Me said when not getting Bono's fan

I'll upload more in a few hours after I get out of school.

He rang up Senator Arlen Specter....
Channeling MacPhisto. I about broke a rib laughing...
B: "I'm here with a few friends..."
Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
B: "Okay, more than a few friends..."

I will have transcripts from the press conference and rally speech up soon. Am rolling the tapes now.

 

[verte76]

Verte! I think Bono was trying to send you a message!!

Yeah, I think so!! Cool! He looks *fantastic*!!

 

[U2Kitten]

Yeah, that was my favorite part! That rocked, and made up a little bit for me not being at any of the Zoo TV shows. Too damn funny. Oh, and Bono? What you've been saying about being out on the streets if the message doesn't get thru? You better mean it. Cause we're right behind you....
