I was there, on the sidewalk since 11AM. I met several people from online there, but I missed Crzy, who I know was there. I met a lady with an Interference tag who called herself Bonolover, but I never saw her here, anyone remember her? Yes there was a huge mall next door and things were very easy on us. Everytime I went down and was coming up the escalator I saw another line sitter going down. Everyone was very nice. I talked to a lot of interesting people and good fans.
My son was leaning over the concrete rail and saw Bono walking up to the GA line down below. He waved and Bono looked up and smiled and waved! Good for him, but bad for me, because he drew attention to Bono and everyone made a mad rush to the concrete barrier, and were leaning over it, and they rushed down to the fence where he walked up. I got there just as he was walking away. I took a pic of his back. The pic I posted was sent to me by someone else.
It was my first time in the heart and I didn't know where to go. I saw someone post here they got in front of the stage after having a worse place in line than me, so I should've gone for it. I followed these guys I'd met online and they went to the back inside tip of the heart, and we thought we had Edge's side but it was Adam's. Bono largely ignored our area, but hey he was right there and beautiful, running by! Even if I had to see his butt most of the time. I remember telling that BONOLOVER lady we'd be looking at his butt the whole show and she just grinned. SHe had a Bono Fly flag, and I saw her holding it in one of Otto's pics. We tried to give Bono a green Irish bear for his baby, but we never got the chance. After the show, I threw it on the stage and told Dallas to give it to Bono. He never looked up. MOnths later I heard that Edge had a little green bear on his guitar stand and I wondered if it was mine!
My friend was coming from Nashville and she never made it until 5PM. She was sorry not to make the heart, but things worked out for the best for her- she got the outside tip rail and when Bono jumped down during WOWY and ran past the crowd, she got to touch him! That was so cool! I knew I had gotten the wrong spot, and knew next time to take the spot she had. I did, and I got to touch him too! She sent me the first pic I posted.
The show was fantastic. I sent two songs to my brother and his wife via cellphone, and it cost me thirty bucks. I loved the show and the setlist and what more can I say, it rocked, it was U2, Bono was right there, it ruled!
