Great Day

I thought I would share this with the PJ Community. Yesterday was an amazing day. Beautiful 70 degree day at Wrigley Field with family and friends. I look to my left and who do I see.  EV. I waited until the inning commenced, walked over shared some words and Ed was kind enough to take a picture with me. He was so awesome in person. I was wearing my Wrigley lid too. Maybe he noticed and thats why he was so nice. Either way what an awesome experience.

    That's awesome man!

    Out of curiosity, what do you say to someone like that?  I honestly do not know what I would say.

    I introduced myself and said the cliche "I know you've heard the a million times, but your musics changed my life" Told him Im headed out to Ohana and Im stoked for that show. Told him how much I appreciate the 2016 tour and was looking forward to seeing what they do next year. He could've easily just brushed me off, but he was genuinely listening to what I had to say.

    Never mind the Tequila, what's the hat Ed is wearing? I've never seen that one before.Or I just never noticed. Looks cool though. Anyone know?
    Edit: cool story, OP. Thanks for sharing!

    It said chicago police and had a PJ logo in the middle. Pretty cool. Maybe he had them made for the cops that worked the Wrigley shows. No idea, but it was pretty cool

    Sounds plausible and would be really cool if true. Make sure you ask him next time you run into him in the stands at a Cubs game :smiley:

    Great job OP! It sounds like you handled yourself very well. When I met ed years ago I couldn't get my tongue untwisted. 
    BTW - Did any of you know it was National Tequila Day yesterday??? Ed was just keeping up with current events. Hahaha!
