Thanks to EVERYONE (everyone…every…one) who came out to celebrate @U2’s birthday, U2’s coming to Boston, and the conclusion of the African Well Fund’s annual “Build a Well for Bono’s Birthday” Campaign. Thanks to the generosity of so many U2 fans, the African Well Fund folks were able to raise a record-breaking $26,000+ to help people in Africa with the gift of clean water.

The @U2 readership came out strong at both the San Diego and Boston events, and I am so proud of all of you for your support of this U2-fan created organization.

Special thanks go out to all of the folks who travelled from England, Ireland, Brazil, Canada and all over the United States for our event! It was a pleasure meeting you, and I am *definitely* looking forward to seeing you at some of our 3rd leg events!

I also hope to see you all at the Barnes & Noble at the Prudential Center (800 Boyleston Street) today at 1:30 for the book signing by Michka Assayas, author of “Bono: In Conversation.” He’ll be there until 2:30 today.
