A lady at my company Won the Ebay auction for Bono's Jacket

[DiGi]

Dead Serious. This blows my F'n mind, she better be a die hard fan and not just another one of the rich clowns who work where I do.

A guy on my team's wife works for this lady. Apparently she is wearing it tomorrow. Anyone think I should take up stealing as a hobby?

I do!
Steal it!!!

 

[u2utah]

Wow, she paid $11,300.00 for it!

That's unreal. When I think of that amount of money I think "car" not "jacket". At least the money went to a good cause, but still....Wow!

Should be interesting to check it out though. Have fun

Wow. If you look at the bid history, you can even see that Hard Rock Cafe was bidding on it... and only apparently valued it enough to bid half of what this woman paid.

Too bad it's not the jacket with the flag lining

apparently she is going to have this at work tomorrow.

Note to self take digital camera to work and hangout in front of her office all day.

Personally, I think she needs to give it to me, so it can be passed around to all the members of Interference.

STEAL IT

God if I bought this I'd be afraid to wear it anywhere !! I'd put it in one of those display type cases right away!

 

[DiGi]

OK, well today was my lucky day. I went over and met this woman and she let me put the jacket on. I have pictures that I will post once I get home. It was Awesome. She was really nice about it and had no problem letting me wear it. Apparently she is a big fan. Pictures to follow.

Wow- you got to wear it, DiGi! Cool beans! I'm glad she's a big fan. Can't wait to see the pictures!

 

[Angel]

That's cool DiGi, but I have one question.... if this quote from Ebay is true... "This custom-made, black leather jacket was worn by Bono of U2 onstage during the band's 2001 Elevation Tour." ...which we all know it is, that jacket must reak! lol

PeeeYeeewwww sweaty, musty.... lol

That is SO FREAKIN COOL DiGi!!! You wore a jacket that Bono wore! How many people here can say that they've worn a member of U2's clothing? (AdamPants don't count unless your actual pants have been worn by Mr. Clayton.

)

I can't wait to see the photos.

Lets be honest......that did not matter one bit. The shirt I have he signed also stinks but that puppy is never getting washed.

 

[spinninghead77]

You are soooooo lucky!! I don't care if it stinks to high heavens, I would kill to wear the B-man's jacket!!!

[kobayashi]

i'm weighing this in my head: does wearing a repugnantly stinky jacket matter more than the fact that bono once wore the same jacket?

i'm gonna have to say i would not wear the jacket

....so it did smell.... heh, heh, heh.

Man, so many amazing things that my head is spinning. First - it's hard to believe that someone actually has 11K sitting around. Second - I'm so jealous that someone else has Bono's jacket. Third - I'm so glad that you, DiGi got to wear the jacket. Can't wait to see the pics.

I bet the jacket smelled good!

How did it fit? Was it too big, too small, or just right?

She's a little lightheaded, so check on her in a few minutes -- my podiatrist, about me (again), 2-11-02

OK here are the pictures. Or you can got to my website and see them:

To answer your questions. No it did not smell. Fit me pretty well (see below). This really made my day. I almost did not go to work today because I did not feel well.

Hey, you look great! Way to go!

 

[sulawesigirl4]

*sigh* This very same jacket....

That rocks!

 

[MissZooropa]

*dies*

Oki, you are one feckin lucky guy!!!

Another question is, what did it feel to wear such an expensive jacket??? 11,000 DOLLARS!!!! Holy guacamole!

What if you drop it on the floor when taking it off. I don't know if I would dare to try it on.

I just can't believe it... Congrats..ehh.. or whatever is appropriate.
