    even though we'd spent more than 13 hours in the cold rain and felt like dying and all.... we saw them all, the band, the crew... and finally met Bono and Edge, in the middle fo the night (they were the very last to leave HQ) today, 2 years ago it was...


    WOW!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't know you had met them, Kirsten!! It's really awesome!! Such a nice date then, congratulations

    Great pictures!

    Congrats


  3. pure luck, I guess when we were there, the band was in full work on the album. we hadn't expected to see anyone at all when we walked to the studio, and then... they all came in during the afternoon sometimes the luck is with the foolish

    I still can't believe it, but it really happened I'm just so glad we could take a photo, otherwise I'd doubt my own senses it was for real... it indeed seemed unreal back then, in the black of a summer night in Dublin, after hours of rain and all, way after midnight, in the middle of nowhere (the docks at night are no place you wanna hang around as a girl, I tell you)... and suddenly your favorite singer and guitarist stand right in front of you, shake your hand and talk to you.... what a blessing it was



    thank you, Aidan
  4. Happy anniversary Kirsten - such a good story, put a smile on my face
