So I just had the most exciting 10 minutes of my recent past.
Bono came out to meet the people that were waiting, I guess it was a little past six. He came by and gave every person some time.
I was standing next to this guy that asked him as he was signing something to play Discoteque. Bono says on yeah we've played it once or twice, and I say (what I thought was very low) "just once" in a kind of disappointed tone, and he looks up and turns to me and says laughing "oh okay just once". I kind of looked at him stupidily and smiled. He then got to me and I asked him to sign my program from last weeks speech in Philly and he took it signed it, drew some glasses and then asked me my name and wrote it on it also.
Then the most important part, since we had been out there about 4 hours I had pretty much brainwashed a bunch of people around me about how great Fast Cars was, so as he's signing my thing I say to him very timidly and respectfully " can you please play Fast Cars tonight?" and he says to me wow you're the 3rd person on this line that has made that request, we might have to.
They probably won't play it but it still felt really good to ask him face to face.
I'll be going back to the venue in a little bit...but do you guys have s source, I can't stream tonight because I have a really great seat and I want to be able to jump, scream and sign at the top of my lungs, but if you need text messages let me know, ( I just left Lila a voice mail also)
