Tell us something about yourself, who are you and what do you do for a living?
I´m Nataly and I am 21 years old I´m Brazilian and I live in Ribeirao Preto, Sao Paulo and I love music and photos and internet. Now I´m working as a secretary and I like it.
How did you become a fan of U2, tell us how it happened?
Well, my brother is 7 years older than me and he was always listening to music. He used to listen to Alanis Morissette, U2, Green Day, The Cramberries, Pearl Jam and Legiao Urbana (the greatest brazilian rock band) and I HAD to listen to that too. His favorite band was U2 he was always listening With Or Without You, Bad, Beautiful Day, Still Haven´t Found, Where The Streets, One and Until The End of the World etc. In 2000 Beautiful Day was the best song for him and he was always listening to it and I started to be interested in U2´s music. When HTDAAB was released I downloaded the CD and I loved it!! I haven´t heard anything like that before!! After that I started to look for photos and news and when U2 came to Brazil in 2006 I couldn´t go to the concert cause I had no money =( I cried a lot when I watched the concert on TV! Next day I started looking for more pictures, music and concerts and I was being one of the biggest fans of U2. Now I have a big collection like magazines, CDs, DVDs, photos and posters and t-shirts and bootlegs. I love them so much that I can´t explain what is this love is!!

If you could go back in time, which U2-era would you like to be in, and why?
