Bono comes to SA

Bono once said that every time someone snaps their fingers, a child in Africa dies. A stand-up comedian, I’m pretty sure it was Jimmy Carr, came back with the remark that maybe Bono should stop snapping his fucking fingers. I actually wish that I could meet Bono just to tell him that in case he hasn’t heard it before. Lucky for me, U2 will soon be on our Shores and me writing this blog post could win me a double ticket to go see them, at which point I’ll plan out my Bono speech in all of the military precision that my SpecOps mentor taught me.
So before the Irish midget arrives, U2 will have a mobile stage that will move across different places around the country – you can track and follow the stage by following Highveld on Twitter or Facebook. The stage actually looks awesome as can be seen on their YouTube channel. Why the hell would you want to follow a stage? Fuck knows, actually I lie, there’ll be other freak fans following this thing, mostly hot chicks (or guys if you’re into that sort of thing), and you can absolutely get some action by jumping on the stage and pretending to be Bono. You’ll have to chop off your legs below your knees to imitate his height, and have some bail money ready because you’ll almost definitely be arrested. But we’ve all done crazy things for ass, haven’t we?
I probably shouldn’t be telling this to anyone because you bastards will end up diluting my chances of winning tickets by writing your own (less interesting, awesome) blog posts and blasting out your own tweets to the world. But fuck it, I’m a nice guy, and I know that if you do win, you’ll hook me up with one of your winning tickets because I’ll rock the party, so tweet away (by tagging @947Highveld and #U2Highveld). I’ve got special secret Google Analytics that shows me who you are. YOU, the person reading this blog post, so I’ll know if you win and don’t hand me over your other ticket.
Here’s the stage you can visit. If you’ve got the memory of a goldfish, the links above will help you keep track of where it is.
