After many years of waiting, a false start earlier this year and 13 hours of lining up, it finally happened. U2 came to town and I was there. Andy and I lined up and spent the better part of the day having U2 chats with people from all over the world. 
What a night, they were fantastic, our position was brilliant and I even got a chance to meet Bono before the show. All in all a great effort, and what's more i've even got the T-shirt to prove it. 
The rants and ramblings of one who tries to do his bit to make the world a better place
Red curry is my favorite curry, but orange juice gets me going. I try and swim 3 times per week, and walk a little in between. I love cricket and footy, I was there when the Pies won their last flag, my first album was Deep Purple, I used to be in love with Suzy Q, I like Star Wars, but the original 3 were much better than the latest ones. Martin Luther King is one of my heroes, I love watching my children grow up,and sometimes I get to read the paper. I enjoy good coffee, but not too much. I hang out to wake up next to my best mate Helen each morning and not rush off to save the world. I wish the Beatles were still together, I tried to play the guitar a few times, I love to ride my Harley, I hate walking in the rain when I get wet, and I hate people who waffle on about themselves...

fantastic mate. glad the boys finally made it and didn't let you down. i still have great memories of seeing then earlier in the tour in atlanta. how was it to meet mr. hewson? did you get a word in edgeways?
peace,
Meeting Bono was more about being in the right place at the right time, walking around the stadium, he had just got out of his car to say hi to 10 fans who had been waiting for hours, it was a very quick shake of the hand, not a smithy style "drill down", but still a blast and still gives bragging rights, great to hear from you again mate
