don't get too happy...you could ask him when is the next time you're coming to the fucking Moon to play in the sea of tranquility and he'd say hopefully soon..it's the rock star "p.c." thing to say..

Won't let the light escape from me.
Won't let the darkness swallow me.
I'm thrilled to bits that Jeff answered 3 of my questions .... especially the Cornell one :P
..... didn't answer my question asking if there are any plans to release the 2007 boots though :(
hmmm ..... this is my first post ...... been reading the forums for a few years now ..... and have finally decided to join in
that was you? That ws the highlight of the chat for me...LOL is way overused, but I truly, actually LOL'ed at that. My 2 year old came running in, yelling What's so funny Daddy?
Brian (Staten Island)
What is your favorite song to Open With? My favorite is Release.
JEFF AMENT

When you guys play Crown of Thorns, does any sense of extra emotion come over you and Stone?
JEFF AMENT
yep, it's a hard one to play.
I'm so happy I got these answered. Good way to get in touch with the band.
Good questions there especially the Crown Of Thorns one.
Julian Philadelphia, PA: Hello Jeff- Would you agree with the statement that Xavier McDaniel was the greatest Seattle Supersonic of all time? I think he gets overlooked way too much when people discuss the history of the Sonics franchise. Your thoughts on that topic? Thanks JB
SportsNation Jeff Ament: (6:34 PM ET ) x was crazy and the best player during the lean late 80s....his fingernails were so long that you could hear clip the ball everytime he shot the ball...and I was in bad seats in 1987

I got around to reading the transcript. That guy is hilarious.. and quick.
iMHO, the best lines:
Amherst Massachusetts: Who would win in a fight, you or Eddie? Could Matt take on the whole band?
Jeff Ament: c'mon, why do you think I'm still in the band?...
(bet he's not 100% joking here)
Amherst Massachusetts: What is your usual post-show routine?
Jeff Ament: if it's a good show, I will have a beer with the fellas and maybe a game of scrabble with kelly, stone and smitty and then a nice long bath....boring, huh?
Scrabble....a nice long bath. He's just having fun with us right?! Sweet, but I just can NOT picture that.
“Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere...
Late at night I hear the trees, they're singing with the dead...overhead...”

i never thought to say that but if i had a chance to meet up with anybody of the band i would say him yeap ....
i would invite him to drink great great wine from here ..:):)
Tony - Philadelphia, PA: Hey Jeff! Any chance you and the band will play The Spectrum before they tear it down in a few months? Philly would love to see you guys help close out this historic building.
Jeff Ament: man...I love the Spectrum...it sounds incredible for a big arena, the way that the garden and the forum do....we gotta hurry up and finish this record so we can play the spectrum...
This is me!!! He talked to me!!! Sort of...haha
Damn, I really hope they find a way to play here.

It is pretty amazing that he remembers that sh*t Finland show from '93-ish.
tom mcrae, scrabble, wine, 12-ft-wave-pummelings and 'let it be'.
i'm speechless with empathy.
