U2!

As I am sure most of the world knows by now, my friend Jules & I went to Dublin last Saturday for a few days before attending the final U2 concert there on Monday, 27th July.

I am also sure that you all know that we had the very great fortune to actually meet Bono and have a little chat with him in his local pub on the Sunday!! We let him know that we were going on Monday night, and even requested my favourite song (which they played!!!).

He was fantastic and didn't seem to mind us interrupting his Sunday pint. He even offered us a kiss each before we left, which of course we had to accept or else we would have appeared too rude!!!

Once I was able to pick myself up from the floor, we carried on with the best weekend ever! We had a great night in Temple Bar on the Sunday evening. Dublin was absolutely buzzing with so many tourists all there for the concerts. All the pubs were playing U2 music and there was a real party atmosphere! Wasn't hard to work ourselves up for the concert on Monday!

The concert was amazing - best I've seen them yet! Made all the more special for having met Bono the day before as well as the fact that they played my favourite song, which I'd never heard live before. I like to think that Bono was thinking of how happy he was making the lovely Aussie girl he'd met the day before when he sang the song!

Close up of Bono leaving the pub after we'd met him. We didn't get any pics with him, as wasn't really appropriate inside the pub - was a free for all once he left though!!

Bono's entrance! We were about 20 - 30 people back from the front of the stage!
