That would be telling :shifty: .........
I finally managed it, some people on here know my lousy luck when it comes to meeting Bono :lol: Last night or should I say early this morning. It finally happened. I met Bono. :hyper::combust::faint:

We had a bit of turbulence on my flight ( which scares the beejeezus out of) but we had a good landing. I was so excited getting to the airport. Although I was tired my little heart was beating frantically in excitement.

Managed to get an early check in and get shower. headed out for some food, then got to HQ for 12.30pm. It was warm and sunny but a bit windy. I got dust in my eye and couldn't see for about an hour, thank god they didn't arrive then. :lol:

The band started arriving about 2pm. Bono first, Adam, then Larry.


We were in for along wait. Everytime the HQ door opened we nearly had a heart attack. Lots of different nationalities were waiting. Spanish, Italian, an American, Polish, and some irish people turned up towards the end of the day. The Italians had brought a guitar and were playing and singing for a while to keep everyone entertained.

Alot of people had to leave before they came out. By the time the band came out there were 8 of us left.

Larry left first and drove straight out of the garage.

Next the garage door opened and Bonos car was there but Dallas was just moving it. A false alarm. :lol: He was really revving the engine, it sounded a bit ill. :lmao:

Next Adam left. I went over to him he looked really, really tired. He said he was just going to head home as it was really late.

About 12.15pm Bonos car was coming out the garage doors. I was so excited and prayed he would stop. I got to his car first and he rolled down the window. I wa like "Hi Bono" God knows how i remained so calm. :lmao:

More below
 
I asked him if he could sign a setlist i got from Toronto. I told him i'd been carrying it round for 2 1/2 years in an attempt to get in signed. :lol: He asked me which show it was and i was like Toronto 4, the last one you did there. I told him it was amazing.

He said no problem. He signed it and opened the JT reissue booklet i gave him to lean on. He started talking about the book saying its a really good this book. And signed that aswell and i didn't even ask him. :love: He also said its a bit cold for you to be out here tonight and i was like I know we're all crazy. :lol: He said your all cold and wet and im just cold.

He said im just going to get out of the car, i said if you're getting out could i have a picture with you please. He was like "sure" and grabbed me towards him in a one armed bear hug. One of the polish girls took my picture. I have the most cheesy grin ever on it. :lmao:

He'd left his car in the middle of the road and another car was trying to come out so he said im gonna have to go. He had signed for everyone and we all said thanks for stopping.

I was wonder who could be in the next car as i never saw Edge come in. It turned out to be Edge. While he was coming out of the garage Dallas said my cars faster than Bonos. :lmao:

I went up to Edge and asked him to sign the JT book. He also commented on the cold. I asked for a picture aswell. He chatted for a few minutes and signed everyones things then left. He also shooked hands with everyone, i apologised as my hand was freezing for the rain and cold.

Everyone hugged after the band had disappeared. The really nice thing was everyone was respectful, no pushing or shoving. Everyone waited their turn.

I was so excited, i had finally met Bono. It was my 3rd time meeting Edge and was as sweet as ever. Meeting Bono was amazing. I kept thinking I'd be really nervous but he put everyone at ease and chatted away, asking questions.

I floated way down the road down Pearse Street towards town. I called WildHoney and text VP to let them know i'd met them.

:hyper::hyper:

Thank you to Bono and Edge for making my year, no life. :love:

Next time would be complete if i was with my girls. :kiss:

I hope this is coherent. ive not had much sleep the past few days. :wink:

Will put up my pics when i get home tonight.
 
:applaud::yippie:

Well done on meeting Bono and Edge. You give hope to those of us who haven`t met them yet.

Mind you it`s Larry I really want to meet..........:scream:

Can`t wait to see your photos:camera:
 
Amazing, so they're back in Dublin, eh? I can't wait to see the photos. That Larry!!! I guess the South of France and the warm weather didn't do much for his disposition. Too bad Adam wasn't able to give you a bit more time.

Congratulations!! I'm sure you're on cloud 9!!
 
GAK! That's awesome Jem. Glad you waited, eh? And cool that they signed and talked to everyone there. Can't wait to see the pics after you get some sleep - HOW do you sleep after that?!?!?!
 
Thanks everyone. Am at the airport now, sad to be going home. :sad:

But still so excited. :hyper::faint: I want to tell everyone i meet. :lmao:

I forgot to say that Beautiful Day was playing on the bus on the way to the city from the aiport. :lmao:
