So my wife and I went to the ASAE talk last night. We found Bono very honest and the speech lived up to our expectations. However, we were disappointed by the evening, as I'd say about 10-20% of the people there were simply U2 fans wanting a glimpse of him. Despite the "No cameras" policy, these people spent the entire hour clicking away. 2 couples right infront of us kept taking pics and then comparing them with each other. They obviously didnt care at all about what he was talking about. Sure, cameras at a rock concert might be ok - but this was in a ballroom - flashes going off left and right ruined the mood and annoyed a lot of people who were trying to focus on his message. I found it disrespectful to Bono and to the people who were there because they care about the issues he was discussing. It would have been one thing to grab a few shots right at the start (during the standing O's) or at the end - but that they did it through the entire speech was just ludicrous. I suspect, from reading previous posts on this event, that many interferencers were doing this. Congratulations on acting like complete idiots and disrespecting the entire event.
