Vertigo's Eve Party Round-up


(African Well Fund's Julie Cook and @U2's Sherry Lawrence)

Thank you to EVERYONE who came out to support our sold-out event at the San Diego Hard Rock Cafe! We were able to raise $3500 with your help in support of the African Well Fund's "Build a Well for Bono's Birthday campaign."

Your generosity will allow for at least 2 wells to be built in neighborhoods where clean water is not available. Your support of our event will help thousands of people with the gift of clean water. What a great way for fans to celebrate the start of a tour, Bono's upcoming birthday, and our 10th Anniversary of @U2 being on the web!

If you were unable to join us at the party - don't fear! Show up outside of the Tower Records across the street from the iPayOne Center off of Pacific Highway starting at 3:00 - The Joshua Tree will be performing from the back of a flat-bed trailer from 3:00 - 7:00 (sponsored by 91X - local San Diego radio station).

Special thanks go out to The Joshua Tree for donating their services - and for playing for close to 3 solid hours! Thanks also to Julie Cook and the rest of the African Well Fund volunteers. And....especially to Ken R., Steve L., Dan E., and Phil R. - our fabulous foursome for helping at the door and at various points in the night. The event couldn't have been done without the four of you!

Thank you @U2 for starting this tour with a perfect beginning. And to be able to help Africa at the same time made it that more special. The Joshua Tree was on fire last night. Everyone who didn't get to see them MUST stop by today.
Thanks Again!
