me and Bono

Yes, the rumors you've heard are true: Bono was indeed here on the Yahoo! campus today, and I did successfully stalk and photograph him. Of course, some
other Flickr photos have leaked out before I was able to post this, but none quite so grainy, seedy, and delightful as mine.
I kind of love it more for being so crappy.
Before you ask: It was a mix of serendipitous timing, reliable sources, and camera-ready and shame-risking coworkers that allowed this all to happen.
And: He was completely gracious, patient, and not particularly tall. I like how he's keeling over to the side a bit. Also I have no idea what I said, so please don't ask that.

Just when I thought I had the lead on sheer
star power with David , you usurp me! Of course, David is way
cooler. Hey, wait! Is this photoshopped?

what he's looking for.

Good question, Bryan and I were just
discussing. I think meeting Dave was
"better" -- though this was kind of
hilarious (and stressful) as it involved a
number of work people and various embarassing
shenanigans, and he was kind of a character.
Dave was more down-to-earth and we actually
had a bit of a conversation with him. Plus, I
really haven't been into U2 for years. Though
Bono is such an icon. Difficult! Thank god I
have them both, I guess.

Bethany! Never give up on you dreams. Let's
start thinking about who would trump both
these. Then go after them. C'mon girl!

Excellent! I'm so happy for you.
I hope you got the same thrill I did when I
met him in Miami. Alas, I have no photo to
immortalize the moment, so you win!

Bethany, David Lynch is much cooler. Also, I
have suspicions that this is a fake Bono in
this photo, and the crappiness is to hide
that fact. I got this intel from a man named
Curveball.
