Bono/U2 concert at FedEx stadium. Logistic disaster for me. I was
invited by Bono to attend the concert and be present at a reception in the “Round Room”
of the FedEx stadium before he was scheduled to go on at 8:30 PM. I was very busy in
the office preparing for the visit to the NIH the next day of Sec. Sebelius and President
Obama. By the time Chris and I drove to the stadium we got caught in 2 hours of traffic
and a disaster trying to get parking in the stadium lots. I missed the reception, did not see
Bono. He probably thought that I did not show and so he did not do what he has done
several times with concerts and appearances which is to point me out in the audience and
praise me. Too bad, but that is the way it goes sometime.
