Saturday (Day 4) Arrival and Departure Shots...

Here's the crowd waiting for the band to get to the arena on the 17th... we were among the first group of 30 people around 1:30. By 2:30 the crowd was huge...


Bono was mobbed at the entrance and security escorted his vehicle down the ramp. We were hoping he'd come out, but there were just too many people. Saturday afternoon.


After taking in the sights around the city, and catching a couple films at the film festival, we went back to the arena to see if we'd have a better shot at an autograph. A lot less people now, maybe about 40 were waiting there. Here's a shot of the exit ramp. You can see the police escort way at the bottom.






Here they come!


And there they go... No dice. They zoomed right by us, with police escort on their way to the airport... We tried!
