WOW Lucia lucky you! Ok where have you been at the main stage or at the other two???And seems Bono is getting into men!!!! Only the second on stage?? just for fun...i know there were some others who played with them...but just to hug and dance...well done B.
From: Lucia on 2005-07-25 14:23:39
Soulie I was just behind this guy,he had a poster in his hand where was written " italian lesson: ROME IS MEJO!"...mejo in our slang means Better.and B looked at him and said come up,so he did!I could see B whispering sthg in his ears like in the picture!That was a very nice moments...but as I wrote in the other pic I saw him in the hotel's bar in Rome,best moment of my life!...He was sitting drinking something (with his wife) and two friends,when he stood up I just followed him and I said .."Hi Bono,see tomorrow night"...he gave me the best smile I ever saw!The conc was great,I was in the middle of the two platforms moving from one side to another..he sang Sometime you can make it on your own just in front of me...unbelievable...and during Vertigo and Pride in particular the stadium seemed to fall down!...never forget it!
From: Lucia on 2005-07-25 14:30:21
I forgot to tell you that I arrived to the stadium at 6.00 a.m. but there were people from the day before...in my opinion the edge's side platform is much better!...
From: Soulcatgirl to Lucia on 2005-07-26 01:08:55
OM efffing GAWD !!!!! YOU RAN INTO HIM IN THE HOTEL BAR..!!!!!!!!! ok ok ok ok .....*I just fell on the floor*....you already told this? Where the hell have I been??????????? You are so wickedly cute to do what you did...... High fives you ten times over..!!! Girl did he have his shades on? What was he wearing or can you remember?? If that had been me I would never had the gumption to follow him...well maybe if I had a few drinks but still you are THE WOMAN!!!!!! okokokok I'm giggling like crazy.... what does his wife look like in real life? Beautiful I know but still is she as beautiful in real life....oh so jealous of her...she has beauty, brains, heart, family and my MAN!!!!!! hahaha.....oh girl can you believe you got there so early and others beat you to it!!!!! You got in really good position in the stadium.....do you think he recognized you when he was singing right smack dab in front of you? Does Bono come out on Edge's side more?..... oh gaaaaawd I love your story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..... did you get any pictures?......Holy hell can't believe the things that happen to other people!!!! ....kitty bites nails......what does a Soulcat have to do to find herself in a hotel bar lobby with BONO right in front of her????.....jeeeez some people are just born lucky....*smiles at Lucia*..... ;)) grrrrr
From: Lucia for Soulie on 2005-07-26 09:54:00
Ehi Soulie...breathe!...If you see the other pic of Rome there's mine taken when he was leaving the hotel (after the bar..)and he was looking like that...black pants,light-blue shirt,hat and glasses but at the bar he was without,he's got beautiful eyes..yes he was with Ali (nice!) the two daughters and two friends,I just followed him when he stood up,a girl that was with me took a pic with him and he was kind to us even if really tired and with no voice...I almost risked an heart attack but then i did calm down and enjoyed the moment.I was lucky because I have a paparazzo friend he called me on cell and told me the hotel,I just drove to and walked in,fortunately I was well dressed and the concierge probably thought I was a tourist,you know I don't really look like an italian coz I'm fair-haired girl (most here are brown...)..about the spot i took in the show I told ya I got there at 6.00 am but the evening before there were about 200 people who slept outside...this is Italy...but it was worth to it!I had such a great time coz there were people from all Italy and we spent the day talking,joking and singing all the time..I was by myself btu I met two guys from Milan that were in both milan shows and the knew perfectly how the show worked...I think Edge's side is better,he sang there All I want is you,Sometimes you can make it on your own and Elevation,the two milan guys suggested me to stay between the two platforms and we moved from one side to another there was enough room to do that..what else can I say..oh..I took some pics but my bloody camera and my cell run out of battery (it was a long day then!) but I'm happy the same...the best souvenir of all this is the big smile he gave me in the hotel when I told him "see you tomorrow night!".....unforgettable!
From: Soulcatgirl to Lucia on 2005-07-26 11:11:03
Oh hun your story is a keeper.... meeting and making new friends that share the U2 luv is what its all about...*hug*...so enjoyed your story I was living it with you....hey it pays to know people that know where the action is !!!! Girl we use to sleep out here in america in big crowds too til the authorities really kind of put a halt to prolonged gatherings.. : (....I have to ask when you first spotted him did you have time to study him or did he get up right when you got there? you must have seriously had a frantic panic attack even if it only lasted a few moments!..lol ....gaaaa... thanks for the sharing of your story and the photos hun your a true u2 babe.... yippie!!!! grrrrr
From: Lucia to Soulie on 2005-07-26 15:32:33
...I firstly found his room level (the sixth!) coz I thought rockstars take suites...and usually they are on top floor...I just went up pretending to be an hotel guest and smile to everybody I met..it's easy..then I saw a man in blacksuit standing in front of a room speaking english to a cell,Isaid hi and he told me he was from Ireland....that was him...the bodyguard!I went returned down and waited for them,drinked a whiskey (I really needed it!!!) and then the miracle happened...my heart was riding like a wild horse!...all you need is a "paparazzo" friend,nice butt..oopps... and smile and you're in!...I did the same thing last month with Duran Duran and the Blue...ok is not U2 but trust me you have fun as well...Soulie next tour come here to me...hugs!
From: Abbie to Lucia on 2005-07-26 22:28:59
Oh my, in the hotel right...Wow ;)Now that's where i wanna see Bono in the hotel when he's in Tampa (Florida), but the only prob' is, i don't know where he is stayin' (chuckles). Your friend wouldn't happen to know which hotel would he?
From: Lucia on 2005-07-26 23:21:55
...ah ah..I wish he could...I don't know anything about Tampa,try the deluxe hotels...from what I heard B likes the down town...good luck!
From: Soulcatgirl To Abbie and Lucia on 2005-07-27 07:11:38
Oh heck i burst out a big haha...when i read Abbie....you need to own a blood hound to track him girl....hahaha....see lucia the thing with Abbie is she had him but didn't know what to do with him once he was there (that would be me too!)....except her Mom sure enough had all the instincts!!! yeehaw!!!...now that she's been thinking it over she has a plan......problem is Abbie what are the chances of getting that close again????? If you do I think you will have earned U2 goddess status....and lucia i can't believe you found his room..... I did that once but I chickened out in the elevator.....hahaha......Duran Duran were cool in the day.....now if had been Def Leppard.......yeeeooooow!mama ! hahaha....*hugs gals*...grrrr
From: Abbie to Soulcatgirl on 2005-07-27 14:32:29
Hehehe ;)O trust me, it will happen again and i'll be sure to get even closer...xXx
From: Lucia to Abbie on 2005-07-27 15:26:50
...Abbie..if it's gonna happen again that you get close to him put some glue on your arms and wrap his body..it is the only way to do something to him..hihi..you know Soulie is right,when you have Bono at a 2cm- distance youe head starts dizzing....when he just apeeread to me in the lift door my blood just freezed,I had just an hysterical smile on my fck..face...I don't know what B might thought...probably " hey girl...stop smoking joints!"...ggrrrr
From: Abbie to Lucia on 2005-07-27 20:57:15
Yeah lol ;)My face was exactly the same (chuckles)but there was quite a few ppl there and then they started pushing 'n' all that, so John had to hurry Bono on...then i got pushed into him (sorry Bono;)I wanna meet him when nobody else is around lol, just me and him (aaahh)
From: Octu2 on 2005-07-27 21:48:08
OK Lucia, I just don't know what to say.........So do you believe me about Ali now? But this is about you, and how you has the courage to keep it together.. Big American Hug for you girlfriend.
From: Lucia on 2005-07-27 22:13:30

From: Lucia to Abbie on 2005-07-27 23:54:10

At our concert in San Jose California, He stayed at the Fairmont Hotel in the same city. The following day there was the funniest article in my home town paper on how these middle aged women were staying in the same hotel and had been at the concert as well. They did all these secret agent things to try and get to the upper rooms. Once they did they didn't see him. One of the girls got stuck in the bar and did see Larry ordering a drink. They tried to get in the dinning area where they were and could not. Then before the night was over, one of them did see Bono walking down the hall right past her. They said their night was now complete,but the funniest part was that, when they were roaming all over the hotel. They,our men, were in the lobby by the piano most of the night where their escapade started!!! It had me laughing big time. When they are in Oakland this time I'm wondering if they will stay in San Francisco or in Oakland. There may be one hotel that would be a luxury one in Oakland, but I don't know. If I were them I would stay in S.F. not in Oakland.
From: Ingrid on 2005-07-28 20:14:31
in amsterdam, everybody knew where they would stay, but there was a pic in the paper.... about 50 ppl were waiting mornin of the 2nd concert in front of the hotel! And his sweetness bono was relaxed and nice and gave autographs and pics and stuff... man, my parents didnt want to lemme go there:(

Susanne Kempf was the adam girl rite(I've read all the comments since march, on all tours^__^I finsihed last week).. and bono turns his back on sushi to carry ingrid upstairs to the room he just asked for... and they live happily ever after^^^Thee end^

Oh Soulie you don't have to tell your age. I think I'm a wierdo since I don't care if anyone knows my age. I think I'm just happy to have lived 43 years and I like to celebrate all of them. I never liked being in my twenties, I guess I was an old soul. I'm loving my 40s.I think it is funny to see all the ages on here though. I feel like I missed a bit of U2 while I was struggeling with finnishing college and having children. Now I think that they won't be out there that much longer and I missed all the fun of their youth and all the other concerts.Although I had fun reading about Bono and Ali's struggles wen U2 was first started. Bono and Ali married in 82 and I was married in 83,so some of the things he said about the early days reminds me of mine. anyway, life is short,celebrate all the wonderful years you have been on this planet!!!!!

Ha, Ingrid remember when I came here first at the ELEVATION time all the others were already there, and my job was boring as hell, I went to all the stuff they had written before and thats what kept me here... thought this was a nice place to spent your lonely/boring/but halfway good paid days... hahaha...But what I was thinking bout...girls can you tell me are you coming through Vertigo-tour.com or as I do through Elevation-tour.com??? Sorry to Matt but the "white" site is so exhaustive so I thank you for having the "blue" one still up !!!!! high5s Matt. Silly question I know but I never got used to the new one :-(

Hihi, well, I bookmarked the "latest comments", so I directly land on the site with the "last 25 commented pictures". :-)

Oops, forgot: I'm coming via u2-vertigo-tour.com. Didn't know it worked out via elevation-tour.com too!
From: Matt on 2005-07-30 10:22:59

Cool! Now I don't feel THAT much younger than anybody! I have a funny birthday.. December 7, Pearl Harbor Day... on the announcements at school last year they talked about how AWFULLY TERRIBLE that day was for the US... I felt pretty badly. Then after they descended from their soapboax they added as a minor side note, "Oh yeah, and it's Sushi's birthday today. Happy birthday." O.o =D lol, good times..
From: Slateblue on 2005-07-31 09:39:06
Wow, you're both so young... Now this probably won't say you anything, but when I was your age, I listened to Bros. *lol* My first live concert! I've come a long way since then, or so it seems...How did you discover U2?
From: Soulcatgirl on 2005-07-31 10:14:44
Me and Boomie *arm around my u2babe*......well as the saying goes old dogs (correction dog as I'm a cat) and a cat ....ooops make that two cats... *arms around Boomie and Kat* ...can't learn new tricks.....I'm still on elevation too !!!! The new site kills my eyes ...the blue is much softer more mellow.....awe...like Slate's name BLUE..*wink*..... but I had a heck of a time trying to find the listing for the downloads of Big Beautiful Man etc... and thats because I don't think it's listed on Elevation site???? I was looking and looking and didn't find it til i gave up and went over the hill to Vertigo..... by the way that video was so so so adorable I 've watched it 20 times!lol.....a big bussie thing floating to Matt's cheek for hosting it.....when i get the time I have to down load the others.....I hate dial up it takes my life away!!!!.....grrrr!

hi slate! my first live concert was the one few days ago;-) the first song I heard with U2 was beautiful day,but I didn't know that they had made it,didn't know there even was a band called U2!then a few years later,I heard Vertigo on TV so many times. Everytime I had the volume so high,I think I blow my family's ears off=) then I decided to buy the cd,cos' this sounded like good music. so I bought the cd,and it only took me a week or so to become a crazy U2 fan:) I started to look at the internet to find out some more about this guys,how they looked and some facts. that's how I ended up here=)Love from Fanny..

btw sushi,we are both winter girls!hehe=) I am born on february 25th:)
From: Octu2 on 2005-07-31 21:23:09
Ha hahahah, I did the same Soulcat! I looked forever on this site through all the pics to find "The bigbeautifulman" and finally a light bulb came on. I have not stopped laughing yet with that video. It made my day!! I love how that guy goes for it big time when Bono come's back to him :) Bono's face is so cute as he smiles. You can also see Adam dying on the stage when they pan back up. As you can see I have watched it several times also.:)
From: Ingrid on 2005-07-31 21:32:07
lol I hate it that I couldnt come on yesterday, commenting this site is a day job for me from now on^^ beware of my useless messages... well boomie, you're right about the useless feeling you have, but for me it was worse, cuz I came here during vertigo, and started with elevation, so even IF I'd comment anything, it's old and it wouldn be seen(I didnt knew about the last commented thingy ^^) .... well, I discovered u2 due to a friend.. I liked songs of them like beautiful day(their first and last no1 hit here in holland :( stupid ppl won't put more u2 songs on no1><)and when they had HTDAAB, my friend and I were talking about vertigo or so, and he said his dad downloaded it, so I asked a copy, and became into them... and it got worse and worse.. I fell in love with the band... and now I'm a u2freak with 7 albums.. but I want them all non-copied, so I've a loing way to go.. I have War, Achtung Baby and Zooropa real... only 11 more to buy then.. I'm prolly going to buy the U2 ipod or so... ^^ my mp3player is 265 mb, and stuffed,.. that sucsk.. ><
From: Octu2 on 2005-07-31 21:55:43
Hey Ingrid. I still need to buy some more of the cds to complete my collection. I still need Boy, zooropa,Pop,and others that I can't think yet.Rattle and Hum..etc. I have to laugh at how this picture that we are commenting on is nothing special. There are quite a few on here, when people look to see why there are so many, it will disapoint them to read our ramblings :)
From: Ingrid on 2005-07-31 21:58:53
how do you know they are on?well I still need: Boy, october, Unforgettable Fire, Joshua Tree, under a blood red sky(dunno where he belongs^^) Rattle and Hum, passengers(even tho it's not real u2) and Thee Best of 1990-2000...and I need the next albums in real, I only have copies of them: Best of 1980-90, PoP, ATYCLB and HTDAAB... :(
From: Slateblue on 2005-07-31 22:00:18
@Fanny: Cool story! I just wish I would have had such good taste back then! ;-)
From: sushi on 2005-07-31 22:20:45

What's U2?" cue explanation, i became interested, downloaded it onto iPod, listened listened listened and then four months later went to a concert and by then I had been a full-fledged U2 frickin fanatic for three months.I have Boy, War, UF, JT, R&H, AB, Zooropa, ATYCLB and HTDAAB. =DD hehe... my mom is so nice to me. She bought ALL of these!! =P I love my mommy...fanny that is SO cool we must have some weird karma or something!! both wintery people... yes I love winter!! SKIING!!! =DD lol
From: Ingrid on 2005-07-31 22:24:30
OMG sushi, Your parents are awesome!!! mine don't listen to u2, my dad likes the songs he hears on radio and such, my mom likes some too, but they dobnt buy it, and I have to buy all their albums by myself...:(
From: Octu2 on 2005-07-31 22:25:30

From: Fanny on 2005-08-02 14:45:07
I love the winters too,and skiing! that's the best exept my beloved snowboard=)and sushi,so cool that both of us discovered U2 after HTDAAB!!=)well at home my family got to listen to U2 sometimes when I play it=) but I mostly have to use some headphones,hehe;)I can't imagine how life would be without music? how sad would that be!at the concert I started to cry almost everytime bono opened his mouth to speak,because everything he said was so beautiful,and you could see that he really meant what he said and it all came right from his heart...=)
From: Ingrid on 2005-08-02 15:13:23
lol, I discovered them after HTDAAB too!btw, I was googling bono, and I found a roflin article on a spanish site, with a picture of bono in his naked butt... ^^ his bum isnt even that big, but it IS sexy^__^
