i think i missed my chance to see bono, live

so rivington street, a couple of blocks east of my apartment, has undergone an amazing technicolor transformation, so that it looks like haight-ashbury on even more acid. the locals were heard to be horrified, which made me belly laugh (silly kids) because the e! true hollywood story (via curbed.com) is that it's for a movie. a julie taymor production (love her) and one of the actors in the production is bono.

shooting was to start on the 18th--whilst i was whiling away in france--and since bono's role is really move of a cameo, if he was on rivington street at all, i've surely missed him by now.

dang! how much fun would my morning have been if i'd run into bono at the corner bodega?
