Yup, that was me. We got into the speech but also missed him afterwards. There were too many places he could leave from. We waited by the dressing room for awhile and no luck. Too bad you weren't able to get in, too, Varitek. It was good to see him even though he always has basically the same speech.
Can't wait to see the pics! I didn't dare take any inside since I thought we'd be caught for not having badges anyway. We told the security at the door that we had already been inside the room and left our badges when we left to use the bathroom. We made us promise to bring the badges back to show her but of course we didn't.

(the following is therapeutic ranting and you probably don't care.) I met up with tripletmom around 7am and we went to the loading dock entrance for a while and then back to the front door. Then we went in and with 3 other girls (I think one of them reads interference) went up the elevator that we could get to without having to show a badge to security. Tripletmom and I located the door of the dressing room area but there was of course a security guard there, so we stood there for a while, then we had a go at sneaking into the auditorium. She got in but I didn't. She can post with all her great pictures later, they are gorgeous. After I didn't get in, I went and talked to a security guard for a while and begged him to let me in the dressing room but he didn't want to lose his job. A woman who he identified as the MBA organizer came out and said she just met Bono and it was cool. Now I knew for sure he was back there (before there was the whole "I can't tell you" thing going on) and really begged, then the building manager came over so I asked him if I could go back. He said no, that Bono was already to the stage area anyway and wouldn't be back there after the speech but would leave (liar...tripletmom saw him go back to talk to the banker VIPs), and my best bet was to go into the speech - oh wait, I didn't have a pass and the woman at the door already knew it. I stood outside the door for a bit and another suit came over and told me he'd be leaving from the loading dock in a limo (liar...he was in a ford explorer). I bought this and along with 8 other people waited outside the loading dock. About 10:15 (we'd been there in the freezing cold for more than an hour) tripletmom and 2 others came out from the speech and waited with us and a guard said he was coming. Then another came and said he'd left out the other loading dock driveway - not the one I'd been directed to originally but one tripletmom had been told was "the best bet." We went up there and confirmed with the security guard there that he was gone (sped right off, no fans there), and that's my very, very disapointed story.
I wish I'd at least gotten to see him speak.
tripletmom said:I am going to go get my photo cd now and try to share the photos. Bono looked awesome. He had his red shades on and unbuttoned shirt. The speech was great and I got right in his line of vision when they were doing Q & A and I swear he saw me as I was right in front of him and I had my One shirt on and he was talking about the One Organization. The lights were on at that point so I think he could see into the audience. So I am psyched to have heard him speak and see him so close but sad I didn't catch him afterwards. Varitek and I win points for trying!!!!
Next time!!!!!!
