The Fly
Bono surprised the SF Bay Area with a very secretive visit today- for a local AIDS roundtable conference at a church sponsored by a Congresswoman. It was not easy getting details about this event- but some last minute info came through and it worked out. Here are some pics-

His guard came over and told us when he would be done and that he would come over for some time with us. The guard was very nice- telling us the times of the activities.

Anyway it was brief but an awesome Bono experience! I was able to get 2 things signed and get to quickly say "hi" and thank Bono for coming to Oakland. He said something about liking to come here.
