[emmaking]

Expect this to be a VERY long post....

i have no idea where to begin this... ok so you all know i met them last thursday. after seeing orla and rich meet them i just had to go bk, so i went bk early tuesday morning, met rich and just waited outside the studios.

TUESDAY 19TH SEPT 06
Adam was the first to arrive, he came over to sign stuff.

i didnt even manage to get on of the edge going in.

u have no idea how gutted i was...i was well disappointed. after all that only adam came over. pfftt.. So me and rich decided to go for a drink..or 5. we were in a bar and i said to him do u fancy going bk. so he said yeh why not.

so me, a bit tipsy and rich headed bk to the studios. when we got there at about 9pm there was about 15 ppl there....so i just thought theres no chance at all that they'll come over!

when we arrived we were told that chris martin was inside..hmm.. after a little while he came out. i went over, got his autograph, got a hug and then he left...bare in mind that i was rather drunk... when he left, i just kinda said 'i dont even fucking like codplay' lmao!

we then waited around for a while and i think bono was the first to come out. on his way over to us he kinda did a skip and a jump and just shouted 'im running late, im running late, i'll do it all tomorrow.'... he came over to all of us, and held out hands, he held my hand for like 5 secs, omg omg!!!! lol.

WEDNESDAY 20TH SEPT 06

next edge came over and spoke to us all, signed stuff etc...

[image]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v739/U2fan4eva/HTDAAB-Vertigo/EDGE/edgeweds.jpg[/image]

then after the edge went in it was AGES till bono turned up, all of us were getting paranoid thinking is he coming, isnt he???

then about 45mins later, all looking out for the last silver merc, we hear someone tooting their horn..we turn around and a motorbike pulls up slowly past us. who the fuck is on the back on the motorbike... BONO!! he went by smiling and waving, all of us pissed ourselves laughing and cheering...

we all called bono over and none of us could believe it... he just sat on the bonet of this car and and stayed and chatted to all of us for like 10mins. just about everything, he was SO chilled out, smiling and laughing. it was so weird, but so fucking amazing.

i asked bono if i could have a photo with him, but he said he couldnt really cos it wouldnt be fair on everyone else, so i said ok fair enough. he then went to sign people next to me.

then he came to me...i was just standing their, holding my camera and the next minute BONO TAKES MY CAMERA OFF ME, PUTS IT RIGHT IN MY FACE AND TAKES A PHOTO OF ME, HE TOOK HIS TIME TO GET IT RIGHT. lmao OMFG! how nuts is that!!!

me, rich and 3 girls we met decided to go to hard rock cafe, after we had some food we then came bk. me and rich got there bout 8ish i think. we had what felt like a long wait...i could only stay till half 10 cos i had to catch my train. so i was praying that bono would come out first.... who comes out at 10ish...BONO

again loads of us were there but he still came over. he signed my magazine, and i took some photos.. while i was near him i was stroking his back lol...it was the best!!!!
