On the first of May I just got fed up with Hungary, with the fokin work, school and everything! I figured out, mmmkhay, next week I'll go to Dublin! Got a lot of friends over there, and U2 is in the city. My friends meet them every second day, so I thought maybe this time I would be lucky again! So, at the next day I bought my ticket, and before leaving I prepared for the trip. It was Bono’s birthday on the forthcoming week, so I made a little postcard for him, with pictures from the Hungarian U2 club, and on Sunday I signed the card with everybody who was there, at the latest U2 Fanclub. I made a bootleg CD for Bono, on which we are singing the song, The Fly, what we did in last summer. I also took a Southpark U2 T-shirt for The Edge. I bought some pens, just in case for the autographs. I rang up my friend, Aoife Bugler in Dublin:'RED ALERT, I am coming next week!' She and her family were so precious to me, I lived at their home for one week!

I arrived on Monday evening. Dublin is so fokin gorgeous! I really LOVE it! Of course my first stop was a pub, The Dockers, where I met Suzie and her friends, Michael and Rose. I decided, that I’ll go to U2’s Hanover studio on the very next day. I went there with Suzie (CatDubh) in the evening, Christy (Mullen-Girl) and Mike (MikeSt) were already there. They were there in midday too and met Adam Clayton. He said that Bono was really sick, he wasn't workin that day. I said ok, I'll miss him, but the other members will be fine too :) But it didn't happened on that night. We arrived too late, the band was already gone, told us a guy who just have came out from the studio. The studio is located anyway, in a really dirty factory area of Dublin Quay. So I had to go back next day, on Wednesday. Christy, Mike and mey were there again at 2:30 in the afternoon. We were sitting on the bench, which is just infront of the studio for fans. There were also two ladies from England, and a guy from Italy. I was playing on my guitar, and a half an hour later suddenly 2 black Mercedes cars appeared! Geeez! My heart started beating really fast! Ohh Lordy! You can imagine... I was sure its Bono in the first car! They disappeared in the garage, and nothing happened for 2 minutes. I was keep playin’ on my guitar with crossed fingers. Really loud! :) "LOVE! WE SHINE LIKE A BURNING STAAAAR..." I knew something strange will happen, soon... And then the door opened!

Nobody came out. We were just staring at. After a few sec Bono came out, and said: "Hi! Don’t you want to come over here and say hello?" We were just UHHHH! And I was just GEEEEZ! BONO was there, still sick? but HE was there. I grabbed my guitar, and was on my way to the door. I was like a BULDOZER! I went in. Bono was sitting on the stairs, and YES!!! Edge was standin’ at the door inside. Bono’s eyes were really red. As I went in, I said: "You still look really sick, baby! You shouldn't work that much!" God! Did I say that?! I must be really confused! Then I looked at him, and he was dressed up just like me! :) Black, leather shoes, brown trousers, shirt, black jacket, and shades of course! Then I told to him: "Geeez, you dressed up like me!" He asked: "How are you, guys?" (something like this) I said: "Well... you know, we are just sightseeing around here." He said: "Well, it's not the right place to smell the flowers while you can!" I replied: "Yeah, it's the right place to smell the chimneys while you can!" He just smiled. Then I sit down next to him and looked deeply in to his blurry eyes. "Look Bono, we've got a past! Look in to my eyes! We met in Berlin!" He made a familiar glance, and... "Oh, you were dressed up!?" He remembered :)

Then I thought it's time to ask the guys for some autographs, and to give them the presents. Suddenly I realized that I left my package with everything in it on the street! Oh my god, 3 cameras in there! Before I run out I put down the guitar, but Bono grabbed it and started to play something. Maybe he was just proovin' that he can play on guitar, but it was lovely. (Now Iam sure he was playing 'The Hands That Built America', cos I remember the chords, and on the next day, the band recorded the video for the song, which is on The Best Of 1990-2000 DVD!)Fortunately my backpack was still there, so I ran back to the studio. Meanwhile the others were takin’ some photos. Then I gave Bono the postcard. He really liked it. Asked where I was from. I said Hungary. "Ok, but from where?" "Budapest!" "Ah, Budapest, I wanna go there again!" :) That would be awesome! Then I gave him a copy of our FLY duett CD. This has a little story too, cos once I gave to my friend, Suzie one copy, when she left Hungary early that year. I asked her to gave that to Bono, if she’ll meet him. But she was only able to gave this to Edge weeks before, but Edgie promised he will gave this to Bono… Just in case, I bought him another one, and said: "Well, here is our CD. You might have this, cos my friend, Suzie gave one to Edge..." Then the Edge just looked there: "Hey, I got the same CD!" Great, baby, but you shouldn't :) But finally Bono have one too. Meanwhile my friend, Christy asked Bono about the U2 Interference's online-forum: "Bono, do you know PLEBA?" Bono looked at seriously her eyes, and said: "Scary girls!" I said: "We all are from PLEBA! :)" How he was staring at us, that was scary! Then I gave to him our U2 tribute band’s, STATION’s CD, with our own songs and with my sister, Eszter on the CD cover. "This is our bands CD... We are a U2 cover band, but we do have own tracks... Oh, and this is my sister..." Bono: "Your sister looks GORGEOUS!" I told her what Bono said, since then, she’s unstoppable! :) There was also a little paper inside of the CD case, with an email address, and password. That was my biggest plan to gave him, hoping to stay in touch with the guys... I said: "My plan is to make a site for the U2 fans, where they can ask questions to ya. Millions of fans will send questions to my email address, I will select 10 of the best, then I will send them to this address. You know I just don't wanna ask for yer personal email address, that's why I made this for ya!" He said: "Great idea!" Well since then I send to him the questions, I registered the domain name: www.askmrbono.com So the only thing is missing, Bono’s reply. But he is in Africa at the moment, so I have to call the principal management, when he's back. But back to the studio, I gave my own copy of the FLY CD to Bono to sign it. Edgie wanted to leave so I asked him first, but he wanted to write with black pen on the black cover. I hope I wasn’t rude: "Oh… wait… I have a white pen for this job!" So Bono gave to him my white pen for a few sec.

While Bono was writing some stuff on my cover, I gave to Edge my infamous T-shirt. "I know you love T-shirts, so I bought this!" And I gave him the Sout Park U2 shirt. "Oh south park!" "I made it!" "You did? You're an ARTIST" Well I never like this word "artist" before, but since Edge said this, to me: IMAMAN ARTIST! :) Then I told to him: "One last thing... Hmm… got a dream...Can… Can I give you a big hug...:)" Aaawwww! And he hugged me :)))) WOO HOO! Then he left! "I’ll be right there, Edge!" said Bono. I sat back to the stairs, and Bono gave me back the CD cover. Then I asked him a photo shoot: "Can I have photo shoot with ya, and swap shades?" I gave him mine, he gave his blue Bvlgari shades (model 519 102/7C) to me! Click! And I got it! "Actually I can give you my shades..." he said "...but I can’t" :( pointed on his red eyes. I asked him for a few more signs on my friends’ CD cover. Then I stared packing. The others left the building, and Bono went away. But I was still the in the hall... alone. Sam, Larry’s drumtech was workin on his iMac at the top of the stairs, I waved to him. Just turned back at the door: "Don’t forget yer stuff at the stairs, Bono! Byeeeeee!" And something more happened before I left, but I can't tell... Soooo... It just happened... Again!

Then I realized that Bono stole my pick. :) Whatever! On the next morning Bono’s fleu come out on me, and I was fokin ill for the next few days. But what an illness it waaaaas!
