“So Bono, just kickin’ it in N.Y.C., huh?”
Well, what would you say if your friend in NYC put you on the phone with Bono while you’re on the other side of the country?

So I was talking to Bono the other day…
U2 fans are funny.

I hope me and my friends didn’t get bamboozled by a Bono impersonater. Someone who appeared to look and sound look Bono played at a bar in Baltimore Maryland Inner Harbor called “Howl at the Moon” Dueling Piano’s 9/15. Can someone give me information to help confirm or deny this. Thanks

That is a life dream. I hope my friends are wise enough to call me when/if they see him. Haha.

That’s probably a bamboozled unfortunately. According to the following link, Bono and Ali attended a Polo match at Phoenix Park in Ireland on 9/16 so I really doubt he was in the US the night before.

Well, John B. considering that there are photos on vip ireland of Bono attending a charity polo match in Ireland around that time…

Actually if you check the web site of Pavel Sfera (Bono impersonator), the events lists shows a private function on 9/15 in Baltimore. Just out of curiosity did he sign anything?

Word has it from a friend in NYC that it was indeed Pavel doing the rounds in NYC. Glad to know Boston wasn’t the only city to have been “bono-oozled” by a look-alike

Talk about being caught off guard, hey? Thx for the great link & what a wild experience!
I don’t know if words would form at all if it were me!

Sherry - the “fake Bono” thing in NYC was on September 10. This post refers to July 31st. Not necessarily fake Bono.
(However, Bono was in Europe on July 27 and again on August 7, so all we can do is guess if the guy really talked to him or not.)

m2 the talk about the fake Bono is not in reference to the original post but to the comment by John B. who mentioned a guy who looked like Bono playing in a Dueling Pianos thing in Baltimore, MD.

Oh, thanks Dana. You’re right. I totally missed John B’s comment above. My bad.
Sorry Sherry!!!!

Just did some double checking and on Jul 30 Bono and Ali did an Edun thing in Artexia, Spain so it doesn’t look good for him having been in NY on the 31st.
I’m pretty sure there were more pics of the family over the few days after that and they were still in the St. Tropez area so unless Bono did a runner to NY (which isn’t entirely unlikely) he may not have been here.
