Bono and Adam in The Hague

Last sunday Anton Corbijn, a famous dutch photographer/artist and U2's regular photographer, celebrated his 50th birthday in his new home in The Hague. Bono and Adam arrived in the Anna Paulownastraat at 20:45. They pulled up in two big German plated cars. A party guest welcomed the band members on a recumbent bike (zitfiets) from Gazelle, which made Bono grab his own camera to take a picture. "How typically Dutch", he said smiling.

Later in the evening Bono sang the brilliant song from the Golden Earring, Radar Love. I remember The Edge singing this at the 1997 Pop Mart concert in The Kuip in Rotterdam. He did this via a karaoke machine hooked to the massive videoscreen.

Other people that attended where Francis Healy (Travis's lead singer) Lars Ulrich (Metallica's drummer) and dutch writer and U2 fan Bart Chabot.

The circle is now complete

Last night was the premiere of the last movie in the star wars saga. Episode III Revenge of the Sith (ROTS). And all I can say is WOW. It was action from beginning to end and the CG was the best ever in a movie. But it did not distract from the acting, which was brilliant. I loved the dialogs between Anakin/Obi-Wan and Palpatine/Anakin. Allso we see Yoda fighting again (I won't say to whome) and R2D2 is steeling the show at the beginning.

All the pieces of the puzzle fell into place in Episode III. I'm gonna see it again in a theater.
