I had one the other night actually. I posted a little about it in PGP

Lets just say it involved Bono, dinner, and after dinner activity

Ooh, I'll have to search out your post - hawt!!

Mine wasn't nearly as good - in fact, I kept missing him when he'd come out of this pub to sign autographs but I did get a glimpse of him.

(now we've done it - we've scared away the boys for good!)

Yes the boys are probably rolling their eyes right now

Ah, that explains it! Yeah, we've got those. I just got a regular old comforter today. Now all I need is the bed!

Are you back from shopping already?

I've had Bono dreams before.

I used to think that was how God would speak to me, because Bono would come into my dreams and just offer positive affirmation when I was having a major decision to make, usually completely unrelated to U2 or even music in general.

ladywithspinninghead · 12-26-2009, 04:04 PM

You should check out the link above and see how how many terms the Brits have for 'drunk' compared to the Americans and Canadians - it's hilarious!

I'm back from shopping - bought a blouse and a funky, grunge-princess skirt.

The stores were crazy busy

That's cool about the Bono dreams - in 99% of mine, he's completely unattainable and I can't get close to him. I don't need a dream manual to figure those out

yeah, if someone british said "i was arse-holed last night" to an american, that would have a completely different meaning!

pics of the purchases!

haha yeah, i'm like that with bono in person. the only reason i didn't run away from him in chicago (like i usually do) is because my friend told me he'd kill me if i did. plus, the crowd behind me was pushing forward, so i was stuck. instead, i snapped this photo.

Wow, that's awesome! Great pic!

No, haha, by 'I can't get close to him' - trust me, it's not by choice! I just had bad luck meeting him last tour (and didn't really try this tour).

How come you normally run away from him?

unico · 12-26-2009, 10:28 PM

Because I can't look directly at the sun!

I don't know, it's really bizarre. I've had plenty of chances to, but I usually run away. Like, physically run away.

Even in DC at the Vertigo show, he had acknowledged my friend and I a few times. I even made him snerk during WOWY. He actually tried 3 times to

us, and my friend and I pulled our hands back (she's a chicken, like me.) But, we did get a shout-out at the end of the show, so that was pretty cool.

I seriously get nervous sick around him. It's pathetic. I turn into a 12 year old Twilight fan.

I don't know whether to

you or smack you upside the head!!

Lucky girl, take advantage - did you enjoy meeting him in Chicago then?

Oh-oh, this has turned into Pleba - oh well, no one is around these days!

unico · 12-26-2009, 10:53 PM

Yeah, the boys are gone. We can gush.

Most people smack me, or threaten to cuff me to him next time he's near.

Actually I didn't really enjoy it. I was sick to my stomach, my knees were shaking, and I felt like I would vom at any moment. He signed my friend's CD, then looked over at me, perhaps expecting me to offer him something to sign. I said nothing, and I'm sure I had a classic look on my face, so he smiled. I snapped the picture as he moved on to sign something from someone next to me.

That guy behind him is Brian, his security. I

that man! I actually got to sit down and chill with him for a bit. Bono & fam were at a function in DC, and my friends and I went. Anyway, Bono & fam flew home to Dublin that night, and brought some extra friends with them. So, Bono told Brian there wasn't any room for him on the flight, and he had to stay the night and fly in the next day.

Anyway, that worked out for us, because I had absolutely no problem talking to that man! We did for quite some time, too. I got a pic out of it, and a shoulder squeeze. He even told me that next time I went to a function, to talk to him, and he'd try and get me to meet Bono (HA! As if I'd ever do that.) and that he would remember me.

He didn't lie, either! I saw him at TO2 this year and recounted the event to him, and he said he did remember me!

found it! i need to better organize my pics...

ladywithspinninghead · 12-27-2009, 09:16 AM

Wow, that's awesome Mia!!

One of the girl I went to Vegas with knows 'Murph', too. He seems like a nice guy

Why do you think Bono has that effect on you? Maybe the more you do it, the easier it gets?

He had that effect on me the first time I met him...but I was 17

It was in Vancouver during Zoo Tv and I was waiting outside the arena for them to appear. Bono and Edge came out, shook our hands, signed a few things and went back in. Now this is REALLY embarrassing but as soon as they entered the building, I started screaming!!! I couldn't believe I had finally met Bono after idolizing it from afar in rural Saskatchewan. Anyway, the Zoo Tv camera that followed them around everywhere on tour made a beeline for me when I started screaming and filmed the whole thing. I really hope it never sees the light of day

KristenCaNaDiAn · 12-27-2009, 09:33 AM

You girls are so lucky to have met Bono
