Met U2 on my birthday!!

I decided late last week that i was going to try and meet U2 for the 2nd year in a row on my birthday ( managed to meet Edge last year).

I got up at 6.20am on Thursday to get a train at 7.30am. Got to London at 11.26am and met WildHoney. We got to Abbey Road at about 12.30.

We met lots of interferencers/Plebans down there which was fun. Hello to everyone we met. Was nice meeting you

Edge arrived first.at about 2.30. He was on his phone a little while then came over to sign for everyone. I didnt get any good pics of him, as my camera had temporarily gone kaput when he had arrived. He signed my setlist from Toronto 4 last year. I told him it was my birthday and he said "Happy Birthday"

Then Adam arrived a little while after. He also signed my setlist and he also said "Happy Birthday". I lifted my camera to take a picture of him and he got looked right into my camera. He was so sweet. One of the autograph hunters asked him to sign with a blue pen and Adam was like, "No, i'm using this one!"

Then Bono arrived. He was late (as normal ) and signed for about half the people there. I didn't meet him or get anything signed as the autograph hunters stood behind me were taller than me and couldnt get him to notice my setlist as the hunters vinyls were higher than my setlist. Damn autogrpah hunters. COz of them i missed Bono 2 years in a row. He looked so though and at least i got to see him.

Larry didnt sign on the way in but he stopped on the way out and came straight over to me. He signed my setlist, then i took a picture as he was signing something for WildHoney. The flash went off really bright though and i was like So i apologised and told him i didnt realise the flash was so bright. He kinda smirked. . He was very quiet and hardly said anything but everyone was so excited he had come over to sign coz we werent expecting it. I think he refused to sign for one of the autograph hunters.

Dallas also came out quite early on in the day and gave all the fans who were there a guitar plectrum each.

Will put pics up in a minute.

Adam pics next.

Warning to any Adam fans. Make sure you're sat down for the last pic.








This last one is when he looked right into my camera after saying Happy Birthday to me.
