Met Edge and Bono in Seattle

[kellyahern]

Met Edge and Bono is Seattle

I gave Edge a stuffed otter from the Seattle Aquarium for his kids. He said, "Awww , thank you." I know he probably gets lots of stuff from fans, but they probably don't get a chance to souvenir shop when they tour (well, that was my reasoning anyway ). Besides, it was a cute fuzzy otter.

If anyone sees pictures from 4/25 of this, please let me know

I took some pictures of ruffian, karmick, and Alli with Edge and Bono. I'll post them after I get them developed (just got home). Bono gave them a kiss on the cheek

No hug for me, but I got a handshake. It felt like . . . a hand Things go by so quickly. I was going to give him an otter too, but it didn't work out So I gave it to my sister

Oh, and John his bodyguard was so great. He really did a great job telling people what to do and got people organized.

Edit: Can a mod change the title of this thread to "in" Seattle? This is what happens when you type on 2.5 hours of sleep.

I got autographs in San Diego, but this is the first time one of them actually said something to me

Congrats Kelly!! Thanks for sharing your story.

Funny, I was looking earlier at the pics posted by the lady who's 10-year-old daughter was drawn on an envelope by Bono & I remember seeing a girl in jeans and black Converse with dark, dark hair and pageboy bangs. And I said to myself, Hmmm - did KarmicPostmark take a little trip to Seattle from Cali-forn-i-a??
Looks like the answer to that would be: Yes! (And how sad is that?!?! I'm tracking the West Coast movements of people I've never even personally met! This Blue Crack will do strange things to you, huh? )

Can't wait to see your pics too, Kelly!

Well Seattle is it for me until the 3rd leg. I look forward to living vicariously through all the other PLEBAns and Interference folks yet to have their taste of Vertigo

Congrats Kelly!! I'm sure it was still a lovely hand.

It looks like I'm thrusting it in his face

"Take the otter dammit! Take it!"

Actually, the pic makes it look closer than it was.

Thanks for the pic nurse chrissi

I gave Edge a stuffed otter from the Seattle Aquarium for his kids. He said, "Awww , thank you."

 

[kellyahern]

I e-mailed the pics of ruffian, karmick, and Alli to them, so they can decide if they want them posted (which is only fair, because they're in them )

 

[kellyahern]

the OTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! awesome!

yeah to cheer him up, I took reject otter to dinner and the concert:

^him being shocked at seeing Eddie Vedder show up

 

[susanp6]

Kelly! That is hysterical&just the kind of thing i'd do with my little soft toys!!!
