This is the story i've sent to Wire when I met the whole band during last Popmart Tour when they came to Paris.
Enjoy!
Hi everybody! It's me again!First i want to thank you Kristal for your precious advices. You gave me hope. Well, i'm so happy i don't know how to tell it.
After the show, me, my friends and some other fans waited for them at the stadium during a few hours. And then we saw the first car. Adam was in it but he just waved to us. Some ten minutes after, we saw Bono in a second car. He stopped, went out of the car and asked us for silence. Then he said, "Tonight I kiss the french bottoms!" and shook some hands. In the third car was Larry and the fourth car in which was Edge followed it. The both cars stopped at the same time and they both went out. Edge shook hands and talked with us during a short time while Larry gave us signatures as much as we wanted, despite of his tiredness. Then he asked us, "Everyone is OK?" He didn't want to leave us without our permission! What a nice man!
After that, we came back home but we had to go in front of their hotel (it was on our way) and we couldn't resist to stop. People who were already there said to us they weren't still arrived, so we began to wait. A few minutes later, we saw Adam who accepted to give us some signatures. After him, we saw Bono and after The Edge. They gave us signatures too. They all were very nice, so the fans stayed very quiet. We could even take photos. I told Edge i was on Wire, on the mailing list and he seemed very interested. Another fan told him he has a very nice hat and he thanked her. Larry arrived then but he go into the hotel by another gate because Edge was still there. We saw Paul McGuiness too.
When they all were back in hotel, we asked security men when they'll go out and they answered not before midday. I think they answered because we all stayed very quiet and respectful to our 4 boys. So, we came back home to sleep some hours and returned to their hotel at 1 p.m. We saw some others stars like Bjork, Michael Stipe, Dennis Rodman, Paul McGuiness (again) and the tour manager Dennis Sheeman, and even Ann. It was the first time I saw her.
After that, we saw them go out but only Bono and Edge gave us signatures and talked with us. At this time Bono was a little rushed because there were more people than during the night and these guys weren't very respectful. But he stayed quiet and even drew for a girl, a beautiful flower on her shirt with his signature. Then, they left us and we came back home.
In short, i got 3 signatures from Larry (on my shirt, my programme and my poster), 2 signs from Bono and 2 others one from Edge on my programme and my album and 1 from Adam on my programme. So i began this week in a whole euphoria !!
So, keep hope! You can meet them!!!
In the name of love - Karine
