Felicitaciones! Of course you're gorgeous..you're sudamericana!
Great story too..Ed's such a fucking class act.. And for your patience and amazing dedication to the greatest band in the world, you truly deserved it!
Well this story probably sounds like many of the stories we’ve heard over the last 3 weeks since many people have met him at the solo shows but needless to say this was such a special night for me.
I’ve never been one to wait around the tour bus or outside the venue; I don’t think there is anything wrong with it I think it was more because I’m kinda shy for that type of stuff.
I went to Atlanta with my BFF for night 1 and we waited for a bit before the show, and stuck around a little after his bus pulled up, the venue was gated so no real access to the bus at all, we waited about 30 minutes after he arrived but he didn’t come out so we left and went to the pre-party and then to the show.
The show was out of this world! Getting I Am a Patriot and Golden State were 2 of the highlights for me that night. A few hecklers but not to to bad. Overall the show was just amazing!!
After the show we decided to wait outside the venue, we really didn’t know if we were going to have any luck as like I said this was a gated venue so he didn’t really have to mingle with the fans if he didn’t want to.
We got to the back around 11:45pm we were probably a crowd of 40 at the beginning, but then his driver and his security guard came out a couple of times and told us Ed wouldn’t be coming out, we didn’t really know what to think, so we stuck around. Some people had left by the second time the security guard came out, the crowd was down to like 20 people at that point.
The security guard came out a third time a little after 1am and told us to get on our feet and backs to the gate, we didn’t know what to think at this point, for a second we thought we were being kicked out. Then he said the rules will be no autographs and no pictures, he will come down the line and he will shake everyone’s hand, he told us we could take pictures as he walked by but no to ask him for any pictures, we got a couple pictures with my friend Amy’s phone as he walked by.
Well right at the time Ed came out everyone was silent as he walked down the line, it was surreal. I couldn’t believe that after 18 years or following this band I was finally going to meet him!!! My legs were shaking
This next part was that most exciting for me and I will never ever forget it.. (I hope I don’t sound pretentious for sharing this with you guys, but I have to because this was just SO special! ) … anyways Ed worked himself down the line got to my BFF shook her hand and then he got to me. He stood on front of me, I shook his hand and said “Thank you for coming out to say Hi to us”, then he looked at me again and said “You are gorgeous” .. and I about fucking fainted right there and then! I had to look at my friends standing next to me to confirm he had said what I thought he had said! Needless to say I was in the clouds!!!
I by no means consider myself gorgeous, dont consider myself ugly either but right at that moment I felt my heart was going to pump out of my chest!!
Meeting him was worth every single second of waiting outside for almost 2 hours, the wait wasn’t to bad as I got to spend it with some very special girls, my BFF (Eddie’sMuse) and VedderGirl_77 and jecica who were just wonderful company!
I had the time of my life!! and I just had to share my joy with ya’ll as most people don’t understand what’s the big deal
Urs,
PS: A very big thank you to Amy (my BFF) for giving me the tkt for my birthday!

I can cook on Saturday. The only problem with Saturday is that the lakefront will be PACKED WITH PEOPLE! As of today, YES I am going to ACL, but that can change in the next few months.
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

Hey Mrs. Vedder, Happy Birthday! Just wanted to say congrats on your big day, and for meeting Eddie! What a thrill. I met him, too, a year ago, and am still on a high, and he just shook my hand! This year, in Baltimore, he waved at us from a window, and it was all very exciting. But for him to say you are gorgeous - wowee! So glad you got to meet him! All the best for a great year!
It was nice of Ed to come out and meet so many people on this last solo tour. If he reads these stories, he must realize how happy he made a lot of people!!

I finally met Eddie after 17 years in Memphis. It was surreal but also felt perfectly normal in an 'It's about Goddamn time' kinda way.
