Attention Chicago Fans: BONO IN TOWN, SEP 16!!!

[u2head]

Saw this on the paper this morning. This is sooooo exciting! I'll definitely try to go.

BONO BIT: Rock superstar and social activist Bono and his wife, Ali Hewson, will be in town Sept. 16 for a special event Nordstrom is planning -- tied to the department store's promotion of an exclusive, limited-edition Edun T-shirt benefitting the anti-AIDS campaign in Africa -- obviously a cause near and dear to Bono.

Also on hand for the event will be Edun designer Rogan Gregory. Hewson is a partner in the firm, which was specifically created to sell socially conscious clothing.

The article didn't mention the location. I know 2 locations and both are right on Michigan Avenue; another one's located in Skokie.

I checked out the store's website -- no mention of the visit there... yet.

I hope y'all saw this on the Interference homepage:



Bono and Ali Appearing in Chicago Next Month

Update: John Bailey, a PR representative with Nordstrom, has let Interference.com know that some of the information reported in the Sun-Times article is incorrect. The Chicago event is private, invitation-only and while Ali Hewson and Rogan Gregory are confirmed to attend the event, Bono is not.



At this point, no one knows if Bono will be along with Ali and Rogan Gregory.


Also, it's an exclusive invitation only event.


Doesn't seem like much of a chance to get to meet and greet anyone so far with this event.


Just thought that you should know.

 

[Edgette]

Alright then. And?

 

[tpsglick2424]

NOOO

Yeah aren't they all? There's plenty of people here who work or have connections in retail and have attended events like this in the past. Not everyone is obsessed with just meeting Bono. I'm sure what Ali and Rogan have to say is relevant to many people, regardless of Bono's involvement or VIP status.

tps, I live in west Michigan and I think a 20 min drive is worth it. I've driven over 12 hours (one way) to hear Bono. Granted, that was a public event, but if you want to try, then try. You won't be kicking yourself later...
