Update: Elsha Meets Bono and Edge Again
Ed. Note: Interference.com received the following update from Elsha Stockseth, "The Biggest Little U2 Fan in the World," about her experience at U2's show late last week in Salt Lake City. You can read more about Elsha and U2 here.
It was so cold but we waited outside of the Delta Center for
U2 to arrive. Just a little after 6pm the black Cadillac Escalades came driving in behind a police car with Bono in the lead SUV and everyone was cheering. The rest of the band were in their own SUVs following Bono. The excitement got even better when a short time later Bono's SUV came driving back up the driveway. He looked at me, smiled and while waving to me I could see him say, "Hello Elsha." John, his bodyguard, got out and gave instructions to everyone and said they didn't have very much time. Bono got out and came over to me and was talking to me. He signed my scrapbook page (he wrote "Bono I love Elsha") and a CD for my niece. He started signing things for other people and then we showed him the Muscular Dystrophy Magazine from Utah that has a picture of him giving me a hug from the San Diego concert. He looked at it and said. "Oh, how stellar!" He then
signed it and went on down the line.
As he was going to get in the SUV I asked my mom if we could get a picture. She said that he probably didn't have time for a picture and Bono heard us and said, "Of course we have time." He came over to me again and his bodyguard took my dad's camera and snapped a picture of us. Bono asked if he had given me that green army hat that I was wearing and my mom told him that he didn't but that I had to have everything just like U2 because I love them so much. Bono took his glasses off and it looked like he was going to put them on me but then he just folded them up and laid them on my lap. He then put his one hand forward and kind of bowed to me and smiled and then got right in his SUV, smiled and waved as they left.
I was crying and then another suprise took place. The Edge came out with his bodyguard and came right over by us. My mom said, "Here is Elsha, do you remember her?" The Edge said, "Yeah, she is a special one." He kneeled down and talked to me and signed my MDA book, too. He looked at my niece and my mom said, "That is my little granddaughter." The Edge said, "Hello little granddaughter." We asked if we could have a picture and he said, "Sure." His bodyguard let my dad come out of the crowd and take a picture of us. The Edge then went on down the line.
I can't believe Bono gave me his sunglasses. I am so excited. This was the best Christmas present ever.
This was the perfect ending for the last show of this tour for me.
Congratulations Elsha and thanks for sharing this fantastic story with us!
