It's getting late here and I have an early start tomorrow, so I'll write the whole story later tomorrow...

But (once again!) it payed off waiting in the freezing cold (and why does it always have to be so cold?! :crack: ) to see one of the most amazing men in the world! :flirt:

The short version: I saw Bono, :wave:ed, got a :D in return, got to talk to :bono: (as the last person after he had signed autographs for everyone else) and got a few words in return and a :D again...

...all worth frrezing your arse off for! :wink:


Long version tomorrow! I promise! :yes:

I love the Edge theme you got going now! :D

I was :huh: and :lol: when I saw him reading that magazine "Home & Land" (or what is it called?) - I have no idea what kind of magazine it is, but I imagined it's some kind of interior decoration magazine, which certainly didn't make the pic less funny! :laugh:
 
Meh if Hilary runs for the Dems I'd rather cast my absentee ballot for John McCain or someone similar. He's my favourite Republican, mostly because he's not out of his fucking mind.
 
I'll do my best to make sure Hillary doesn't get the nom :up:

:hyper:Mark Warner 2008:hyper:


Anyway, my ticket to see Bono speak in DC Feb 3 just arrived!!!! :hyper::hyper::hyper:

I'm in a good section too :D:dance: I can't stop staring at the ticket and smiling :D

I wonder if he'll offer anything new that I haven't heard from him :hmm:
Click to expand...

My guess is that his talk will at least incluce some of the following :wink::

"...I'm not used to speaking to crowds less than 50,000 people..."

"...this is not a cause, this is an emergency..."

"...6,500 Africans dying every day from a preventable, treatable disease..."

"...a child dying from a mosquito bite or from lack of food in its belly..."

"...we have the money, we have the knowledge, we have the technology... but do we have the will?..."

...plus something about histroy books, punk rock and Pres. Bush

Maybe I should start writing for Bono! :lol:
 
:hmm:

I dunno if I should dress up somewhat to see Bono speak or not...:hmm:

I'm thinking about making a shirt with the "Coexist" logo on it.


If I do get a chance to meet him and I'm able to speak I plan on telling him that I want to run for office and look forward to working with him :wink:

Demmy! :hug:

I'd love to hear Bonos comment on that!!! :lol:

Seriously, when you get to be something big in American politics, like President, Foreign Minister or Development Minister or whatever you call that, I'm going with you and Bono on your trips to Africa! :wink:

:lmao:

I'd love to have you come along! :up:

Watch what you're saying - I have the memory of an elephant! :lol:

If someone ever tells you that they have a crazy Dane calling you at The white House, trying to get to talk to you about going to Africa... you know who is at the other end of the line! :wink:

Btw, I won't be calling you Mrs. President - now you're Demmy for always! :laugh:
