The banner's story is one built by many inspired U2 fans all over the world. The place where we found each other is Zootopia, “The Zoo” as we call it. It's the message board on the band’s official website: www.u2.com.
I created the banner, sent it out and navigated its 135,000 km journey. However, creating it was a reaction to finding fellow fans with their noses pointing in the same direction. And little did I know that the creativity and support of so many others would take things that far.
While it was travelling, the banner has been signed by numorous fans, but also by Bono, Edge, Adam and a few crew members: John, Rocko, Sam and Dallas.
So here it is: the journey, the stories, the pictures and my own experiences, juiced with silly fan stuff, queue stories and concert pictures. It's a trip into the heart of many U2 fans. Motivation, dedication, inspiration, support, gratitude, joy, friendship crossing all borders, fear and loss, lots of love and a passion for a band is what you will find.
