Bono loves my sister
DAMN, my sister is lucky. I’m not as obsessed with U2 as my sister, but this is still pretty fuckin cool.
Okay, so I’ve already mentioned that my sister was up here a while ago to see U2, and got this kiss from Bono:
BUT THEN on TOP of that she meets him AGAIN in Chicago. It’s a long story full of incredible amounts of luck. You can the full stories from Chicago and Seattle here but this is the best part:
“As I move to cross the street, I look to my left and Bono is coming towards me. I reach out my hand. He comes over to me and grabs my hand. He pulls me to him and gives me a big hug and kisses me. I was not expecting it particularly since I hadn’t said anything yet. So not only being there with him was amazing, he pulls a fast one to really knock me out. This time his face was cool and smooth. I wish him a happy birthday and tell him that he’s the reason why I am an activist today. I am totally nervous again and this time it was worse because I am aware there are cameras filming all around us and I am completely surrounded by bodyguards, fans, microphones, cameras-its complete bedlam and chaos. He looks at me and says, “What’s your name?” The rest of world just fades away with the sound of this voice. I tell him Joy and he sighs and says, “Let me get my head on straight to talk to you, Joy” in this mischievous, sexy way while holding his hat down with one hand and still holding my hand with the other. ”
And here’s the picture:
