Man that made me feel better as a person inside. Anyone get Pics?????

wow, congrats, Jesse! from what db9 said in his post, it sounds like you took a big risk to meet bono- and it paid off! congratulations!

i think i met you in Vegas- I was running the GA line (i wrote down names in the morning, and then did the roll call w/ diamondbruno around 4:30 pm)... i hope that you enjoyed the shows!

Ally -

I want to take this time to commend you on what an awesome and organized job you did for the GA in Vegas. You handled a tough, long, tedious situation that could have been chaos, like a champ, and were completely polite, gracious and approachable the whole time. Because of your determination and organization of the GA situation, the early birds got in the Heart - me included - and had a most wonderful time. Thanks again!!!

awwww, thank you SO much, HelloAngel! I really appreciate your kind words. I'm so happy that everything ran smoothly in the GA line; it was mostly due to the venue security at the Thomas & Mack center- they were AMAZING! i'm so glad that you enjoyed the show- and made it into the heart!

I loved being in the Heart - and most certainly loved the fact that Eddie Vedder stood behind me the whole time!!!
