No, not me. But one of our @U2 readers recently won a pair of Bono’s shades — the pair he wore at last year’s Rose Bowl concert.
It was one of the prizes auctioned off recently to raise money for the St. Francis Hospice. If you’re on our news mailing list, you might remember us sending out this story about the auction and Bono’s donation.
Damien F. was the big winner of the sunglasses, and a full U2 360 at the Rose Bowl prize package. He sent in this photo.
Notice that Bono also autographed the DVD pack on the far right. Pretty cool. Damien’s been a fan for 28 years, and he’s an @U2 reader, so cool to see him win this auction. And no, he’s not telling how much his winning bid was … but it was a lot of “hard-earned,” as yer man would say.
