Helsinki: Me and Bono
Whoooaah!
Sometimes magic just happens.
If ANYONE has pictures of this "encounter", please message me/share - I'm more than happy to hand out a little price for getting more piccies on this unique (to me) happening!
As of background info, I happen to share (wonder how come ) similar sunglasses as mr Hewson does (Armani Bono Red) ... Band was just leaving Helsinki on Sunday and Bono was not planning any long fan session at front of Hotel Kämp his time (was out for less than 3minutes and off he goes). He was dashing for his minibus, but then:
Me: "Bono, check out these cool glasses!"
...Bono stops his walk, turns and notices that he has copied my style
Bono: "Oh my GOD!"
...Bono comes to me graps my hand, we shake hands a bit and...
Me: "Are you copy-pasting my style, Bono?"
Bono smiles and draws me near for better hearing: "We have to have a photo of this."
Me: "Well, why not, let's"
I go for the camera in the pocket, fuzzle a bit with it switching it on.. Bono thinks I'm taking piccie of him alone and says: "No, not of me, but you and me together".
Me: "Yeah, sure, just hanging the camera to my wife and she'll snap the piccie"
I trie to settle my self in a cool manner next to Bono, but the "little Irish guy" goes: "Let's put our foreheads together"
Uber-cool and clash-of-the-titans-like foreheads together scenario happens with hands on other's lower backs for added coolness...for several seconds (felt like minutes, Bono really had no hurry with the cool poisture) and I just check with Mr vocalist: "Are we now looking cool? - Bono: "Hell, yes" (or something similar, I lost track of what we talked at this point).
A couple of photos are taken, I say something of that being epic and thanks for the wife for the paparazzi-stuff, Bono looks at Anu (wife) with a nice smile (another piccie of that) and I thank the U2-person with something, which I have no idea anymore... Best memory: "Cheers, take care" (less epic, I know, was short on cool oneliners at that point).
So, I wasted some 40secs of the megastar's life, whose life should I spoil next
Sorry, if this picture is in the wrong category :/
