Just keep me where the light is
My friend and I completely lucked out this afternoon and saw Bono and The Edge and Morleigh and Paul leaving for the Golden Globes! Bono came over to take pictures and sign autographs for everyone. He signed my Propaganda, now making that single issue completely worth the $25 I paid for it! He looked so adorable in his little suit! He struck a pose for all of us and said, "Don't I look posh?"
Though Edge didn't come over (so, so, so sad!), Morleigh did roll down the window when the drove by and Edge leaned over and waved to all of us. This close encounter has only furthered my Edgerness!

I'm getting my pics developed tomorrow (none with me and Bono, but I did take some pics of the man), hoping they turned out and that I can get a picture CD so I can share them with all of you.

Two things, first Bono is such a tremenous person. I have met him before and gushed about how great he is, but really I don't think it can be said enough. How many celebs, regardless of how big they are, would take time out for their fans the way Bono always does? Not many. He took time with each person there, talked to them, made them the center of his attention for that moment, and for that I am grateful and in total awe!
Second, U2 fans are great! All the girls there were talking with each other, sharing their U2 stories and when Bono came out, everyone took pictures of everyone else. Later e-mail addresses were exchanged so pics could be exchanged. I've gotten such great feelings from meeting and talking with other U2 fans, this really is a great community.

Congrats to our boys, hope to see them again at the Oscars! Thanks Bono for being amazing as always!
 
Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And you even posted this in the right forum...good on ya!!!! :D
 
OMG dsmith, that is so amazing:yes: Your second brush with
greatness, Bono. You are so lucky. But what a shame, as an
edger that you did not get to meet Edge, but at least he
waved at you which is better than not seeing him at all.
Way to go dsmith:up: I hope I get to meet any of the memebers
of U2 someday, preferebly Edge:love:

Awww, warm Bono fuzzies! I'm sooo happy for you Dev! I'm glad you had fun meeting U2 fans too!

So, next time - The Edge! :D
 
If this works (please, please, please), this is a window display at the shopping center across from the hotel. My friend and I took it as an omen for the weekend...

Before I post the first Bono pic, if any of you are in these pics or know anyone in these pics -- Hi! Feel free to PM me if you have pics of me or my friend with Bono and we can exhange prints or digital images or whatever. I was the girl with the long reddish-brown curly hair who got her Prop signed and my friend was the one whose camera wouldn't work when she was trying to get a pic with Bono. Also, thanks BostonAnne for sizing these down for me. As always, you are my tech guru!

Okay, on with the show...

I didn't take many pics, it all happened so fast! Sadly, I didn't get any pictures of Edge but this painfully close encounter has only furthered my determination to meet him one day (hopefully soon!). But I did get this really great picture of Bono that I love so much and probably wouldn't trade for anything.
Again, thank you Bono and thanks to all the cool girls I met at the hotel yesterday. Next stop, the Academy Awards!!

Is there anyway for these pics to be posted not as attachments? The only thing I see is an interference logo when I click on them... :(

I think that maybe because you're not a premium member you can't view attachments. I have these pics saved on disk, not on a Web site, so there's really no other way for them to be seen right now. Sorry.

Glad that everyone likes the pics. After getting the pictures developed I kept asking my friend to show me then put away that last one. Bono looks so great in it!! He and Edge both looked so incredible at the awards.
Thank you for all your good thoughts in regards to me meeting Edge. Fingers crossed!
