I wasn’t going to make a special post because the event and Billie Joe’s presence there have been talked about a lot, and what else is there to say? (Links to some of the news and pictures of the event are in the sidebar.) But I couldn’t resist the little bearded man…

Here’s a great picture, large, and with no watermarks. Sigh!

And here’s a couple more tidbits:

From New York Magazine (there’s a picture there too):

How did you meet Bono? “He invited me to his hotel room, and we taught each other dance moves. We were doing an Irish jig and break dancing at the same time.” —Billie Joe Armstrong

From Bloomberg (the event was set to raise $1.5 million):
Tickets for dinner and the show, which benefits the Brooklyn-based group, range from $100,000 for a table for 10 to $5,000 for individuals. Seats in the balcony upstairs in the hall for a pre-concert cocktail party and the show are $1,000.
