Aren't they hysterical! I couldn't remember if I ever posted these before......'

Flat Stanley is a cute project that elementary school kids do. They usually send him off to a relative (Grandparens) to take around with them and take pictures of what they do on their adventure together..

Flat Stanley - U2 road crew for the day.....it was thanks to a very special man... He did this for my nephew Sean who was 8 years old at the time.



He did this in Phoenix between the two vertigo shows for us.

I love him holding the drum stix! haha!!

 

[bonocomet]

That is awesome

 

[Jeannieco]

Stanley... too funny!

 

[Caroni]

I´ve never wanted to be so flat and inflammable in my life

 

[hcbiggs2002]

I love him holding the drum stix! haha!!

I've never heard of this Flat Stanley either! These pictures are great!! Notice how one stick seems to be shorter than the other!!!

 

[Laney_82]

I love drummeerr Standly

 

[Gluey]

OMG JG that is soooooo cool!! OMG your nephew would have been the talk of the school having his flat Stanley in such cool pics!! Wow! to Flat Stanley.....

 

[u2jesusgirl]

OMG JG that is soooooo cool!! OMG your nephew would have been the talk of the school having his flat Stanley in such cool pics!! Wow! to Flat Stanley.....

He was Gluey!! The star at school for weeks! I can't find the pic of him holding Stanley after everything, (will still look) but this was the auto Bono signed for him. He drew fly shades on Sean's face. So funny. The newspaper article was on the family being all fans. (He drew the shades because of what Sean says in the article about loving the song "The Fly") Was really awesome. That is Shofer (his mom) in the picture. I have posted a pic of her with Bono at UF. Bono was suppose to keep the article but he wanted Sean to have it signed. Again, so awesome. If he would have come the second night, Bono was going to pull him up on stage, but Sean didnt come the second night. (Girl's night only) A missed opportunity....

 

[Gluey]

That is so cool! Wow, that just seem so typical of Bono to want Sean to keep the signed article. Did he know about Flat Stanley at the time?

OMG I remember flat stanley from back in the day! That's cool to hear it is still going on. Very cool pics of the instruments! the drumsticks image is adorable.

 

[JCOSTER]

Bono is so awesome with the kids!!!!

It is still a mystery..We don't know if Bono knew about Flat Stanley or not at the time. He spent the night there with "Amigo" on the tour bus and we don't know everyone he met except for Phil Docherty with the green falcon and Stuart Morgan, Adams tech. But Amigo sure put a lot of effort into the pictures. Like I said I love that drum stix one. LOL! He also put the tape on him to prop him up on everything. We didn't. We can only dream he met Bono.. Here is a confusing pic, he is eating with Amigo but reading the Elevation tour book, even tho it was the Vertigo tour..????? I am so confused....Maybe he snuck on that tour and we didn't know it...LOL!

I think I can say we all would love to be that flat piece of paper!!!
I know what you mean JC!! haha!!!

 

[thankyou]

wow,that flat stanley takes the cake! I was just remembering when my little girls did that back in elementary school, and the kids at school would ooh and aah if flat stanley had gone to places like "the zoo", or got to go the beach............ flat stanley hung out with U2 backstage????
To be a little piece of paper and get to go places we only dream of, unbelievable...........

 

[Val]

That is the cutest thing ever!!!!!!!!

Am I crazy or are the two "Goal is Soul" guitars different shades of green?
Can someone tell me about them? Thanks!

It's just the flash reflecting off of the one on the left and making it look lighter in colour.

That would be a good photo to show all the people who don't think Bono has more than one Gretsch.

"Oh noes Bono auctioned off his green guitar! What is he gonna play now?! "
