Have You Ever Met Them?

I got to the Somerville Theater around 3:30pm today where they're having their gig tonight. There was nobody out in the front of the theater, and the police were just setting up the barricades. I went around the back, and there was a group of about 40 or so people waiting with the U2 equipment trucks (I saw Joe O'Herily, Sam Suillvan, and Brian Murphy). There was a barraicade separating us from the equipment and staff. We waited for an hour, and then we heard the sirens wailing in the distance. About two minutes later, a couple black cars pulled up, and Bono gets out first, then Edge, then Adam!!! They came right over to us, didn't even stop to talk to anyone else in the press or whatever. I was a couple rows back from the people up against the barricade, but as Bono and Edge made their way around to our side, they were each about 5 inches from my face. Absolutely amazing. So amazing.

I can't even think coherently right now, so this doesn't make much sense, but it was absolutely surreal. So cool to see the boys in person. So cool.

Some pics from today. I held my camera high above my head, which is why they're not great pictures, but you can still see the band members.

Amazing day. this was my first time being in the general vicinity of the band, let alone getting close to them. Best band ever.
