I may be an idiot....crashedcar wrote:your an idiot speedy, i am sure if you saw ed you would run the other way
But I am not a stalker....
The guy should have walked up to Ed and said.....
Hey Eddie I just hopped some barricades.....
Showed some guy a fake police badge....
And snuck up here to the floor you and your wife are on.....
Is it ok if I get on the elevator with you?????
I wonder how that would have worked out????????Take me piece by piece.....
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....0 -

I'm not sure that it's actually stalking if it's a celebrity at an event that they are staring in away from they're personal life. Howard Stern actually talked about how he sometmes gets bothered by fans when he is with his children and how that's not a cool time to fuck with someone but he generally tries to accomodate when he's by himself or with his wife. There's a time and place for everything. I've met a few stars here and there and simply just talked. I don't know what people see in autographs all the time or even pictures for that matter. Glad you didn't ask for his autograph or pic with you.0

Do you have a life or do you live on this site and visit reality only once in a while? making fun of someone's deceased father. you are one classy individual.

are you serious? wow, wow, Your right bud, all the way. I guess if you see Ed wait till he comes over to you, becuase you are certainly Mr. sunshine for everyone. Whats up Glenn Beck.Be Green and Free0

speedy is a pool of negativity, this is nothing new. he comes here to shit on everything/everyone. best is to ignore it.i have a paper here that entitles me to fast track status0

Awesome story ...
Speedy -- even your "namesake," one Mike McCready, admitted to hiding under a limo to get an autograph once. So, does that make him a stalker, too?
As long as you don't freak 'em out, chase 'em down the street or otherwise make them regret being a musician, i think you're doing OK.If you hate something,
Don't you do it, too.0 -
nice post
crack me up that this person felt the need to mention how short Eddie was
He's such a cool dude, the way he treats people, he's a giant in my book
Don't come closer or I'll have to go0 -
I never ever once made fun of your father....so dont fucking go there........Along the Way wrote:Do you have a life or do you live on this site and visit reality only once in a while? making fun of someone's deceased father. you are one classy individual.

Im sorry I find your story a little creepy.......
When a grown man is sneaking around hotels...
and showing a off a police badge that isnt his...
just to meet a rock star.....
Im sorry.....
Its creepy......................................Take me piece by piece.....
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....0 -

great story and i felt like i was right there with ya in the elevator. i swear someday, we should all work together and do a book of stories of how this band has touched us by just saying hi to us or shaking our hands or whatever and then publish it and give it to the band as a thank you present0

Well if you want to meet someone sometimes you have to take bold movements, and after all you had was a couples of words a hand shake, if there's some after life I guess your dad must be LHAO
I'm happy for you man but don't use your dad's badge anymore you may get in trouble!"The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it"

Ed shaking my hand from the stage at the first Tower show still makes me all giddy inside, because I was in the third row and he really had to stretch to reach me, but he did because he saw how much I was anticipating it
that's a class actDon't come closer or I'll have to go0 -
"Showed some guy a fake police badge...."
To me that is disrespect. that badge was a gift from my dad and something i don't fuck around with. their is a unique respect between all officers of any kind and their families. that's why i showed it and that's why he let me stay there.
hotel? it was Radio City Music Hall where the show was played. Again, read the post to get some clarity.
If Ed didn't want to talk to me, he would have said so and I would have walked away with complete understanding and wouldn't think twice about it.
I had the pleasure to meet 4 very, very nice people who treated me as if i was just an ordinary person in their lives at that point in time. The comfort level and understanding of respect was there from the first second of interaction. No requests for photos or autographs. wasn't the place or time.
I hope you have people in your life that show you love and respect because you need it and perhaps it can rub off on you. It's within everyone and i hope it comes out through you one dayDowning Stadium, Randall's Island (September 28, 1996), New York, New York (September 10, 1998), New York, New York (September 11, 1998), Wantagh, New York (August 23, 2000), Wantagh, New York (August 24, 2000), Wantagh, New York (August 25, 2000), Mountain View, California (October 20, 2001), Seattle, Washington (December 06, 2002), Seattle, Washington (December 08, 2002), Seattle, Washington (December 09, 2002), Albany, New York (April 29, 2003), Uniondale, New York (April 30, 2003), New York, New York (July 08, 2003), New York, New York (July 09, 2003), Hershey, Pennsylvania (July 12, 2003), Holmdel, New Jersey (July 14, 2003), Boston, Massachusetts (September 28, 2004), Boston, Massachusetts (September 29, 2004), Montreal, Quebec (September 15, 2005), Ottawa, Ontario (September 16, 2005), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (October 03, 2005), New York, New York (May 04, 2006, New York, New York (May 05, 2006), Albany, New York (May 12, 2006), E.

yeah, those Tower shows and that site were a pretty powerful place. Amazing how the man can do so much good in the world and bring so many smiles and happy hearts with just a few moments of his time. Again, one day I would love to get it all documented by everyone and give it back to the band just to let them know how much they bring to our lives0 -
