oliveu2cm said:Hey! I wish all you guys got the chance to come yesterday! It was really special- I have to to all my fantastic U2 friends who called me immediately and let me know to book it down to B&N. I don't know how but somehow, between the rain and the Fleetline up and going home to shower and catching the subway and running in the rain, but somehow I made it to the line and was about the 40th person to see Bono! It was wonderful, a very very special gift to have him there and waiting and to be able to say a few words with him- I never care about autographs or even pictures, but I would do it all for those few moments to speak with him.
He looked fabulous, as you all can see, very healthy and happy. He made a few jokes before it started, over the loudspeaker, his irish brogue crackling through the store, his laughter lingering over our skin. Some of the girls from the African Well Fund were in line a bit ahead of us, and we got to see Bono speak with them, which was thrilllling. He recognized their tshirts, and said "hey how is that birthday thing going?" and we couldn't hear their response, but saw his ecstatic reaction, where he stood up and leaned forward and grabbed their hands and said "that's excellent!" and I guess he also said how that is so important what they are doing, and he kissed one of them on her hand, it was really very special!
The author Michka was also sooo adorable and Bono-smitten, he sounded like an awe-struck and awe-inspired fan around Bono, and it was obvious the book was written from a very healthy and caring place. I can't wait to read it!
