    Before, after, some other time, having lunch, shooting pool, down by the beach, having dinner, mucking about amongst the waves, waiting for a flight, whatever.... 8-)

    I met Eddie, Stone and Jeff (individually) after Jeff's Deranged Diction show in Seattle (may 09) - at the crocodile cafe.
    Very cool moment. I was there with a couple of Brazilian fans.
    I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream...
    If I knew where it was I would take you there.

    I met Mike and Stone in Auckland city when I was waiting at the bus stop to go to the show... Mike was really cool, really nice... Then ten minutes there was Stone walking down the other side of the road..
  • I accidentally met Boom Gaspar hours before their show in Athens back in 2006, he was really nice and yes, we shook hands!!

    Ed came out and said hello to a small line of fans after the ACL TV show taping in Austin. I was able to shake his hand and thank him for coming out.

    I met Ed a total of four times after solo shows I saw in 08 and 09 (D.C. '08 and Philly , Nashville , and Memphis '09 . I've met each of the guys before shows, but that wasn't the question.

    I originally posted this on August 11, 2008:

    I don't even know how to put into words what happened last night.... Basically, me and my daughter Jenna waited around in the parking lot of the venue from 3:30 till 7:30 waiting to see Eddie. Finally at 7:20 I see a security guard walking away from the door he had been guarding all day heading down the street to alternative entrances, so we follow him. Two seconds later a man pulls up in a van with Eddie's bodyguard and Ed. Jenna and I start yelling to Eddie and waving,"Hi" to him, and he definitely spotted us. Before long people begin to assemble so the guard instructs them to drive around the building to the back entrance (where we had been waiting all day). So Jenna and I sprint around the entire venue chasing after Eddie's van. By the time I get to the backdoor Eddie is almost all the way in the door. I hurry to try to take a picture, when suddenly Eddie's bodyguard sternly reprimands me!! A few seconds later, Ed's bodyguard sees me looking in the opened door and he says something like, "You over here, come here"! I hesitated a few moments, as I thought he was going to take my tickets away from me. Next thing you know, Eddie pokes his head around the corner, and upon seeing me, he says, "Him, yes him, get him in here"! So again the bodyguard motions to me to come in, and after hearing Ed, I go walking in. Then Ed says to me, "Dude where is your daughter, get your daughter man"! I thought she was right behind me, so I turn around and notice someone had closed the door. I open the door and to my relief she is standing there with this woman she had been talking with all night. I yell to her, "Jenna, hurry up, come on, Eddie wants to meet you"!
    Upon walking back in, Eddie is standing there waiting for us with his bodyguard. We talk for a little while, I take two pictures of him with my daughter, then Jenna takes two pictures of the two of us, Eddie autographs my PJ shirt,and then he reaches in his pocket and says to my daughter, "Sorry honey, I don't have a guitar pic with me". He then reaches to the back of his head and removes his hair tie, and gives this to her. After talking a few more minutes, he says, "It's been great meeting you Jenna and 'pops', but I have to go to work now"! Jenna and I then exit screaming and yelling to a round of cheers from the rest of the fans outside who witnessed what had just happened!
    But that was just the beginning of an amazing night. After Eddie had sang nearly a dozen songs, he began telling the story of how he had met Jenna before the show and that this was the first concert she ever attended. He went on to say, "I don't know exactly where she is out there, but I now she is somewhere". Then a guy right next to us yells out, "Jenna is up here Eddie". Then Eddie commented that what he really wanted was for her to come down to the stage so he could sing a song just for her! I led Jenna to the stage, where we were greeted by Ed's bodyguard, who led us backstage. We then watched from there as Eddie performed "Drifting", after which Eddie made the announcement that Jenna had made it to the stage. Because Jenna was so nervous, Eddie set up TWO chairs on stage (one for her and one for me). Shortly after being seated the crowd began singing "Happy Birthday" to Jenna and Eddie said, "No,No,No...I have my own song for her". When the crowd continued to finish the song, Eddie played and sang the remainder of the song. Then he proceeded to sing "Forever Young" to her!! Once he finished he handed my daughter his pic saying, " I told you I would get you a pic before the night was through"! He then I believe, asked the crowd for applause for us and he gave Jenna a hug for the road!
    I just want to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to Eddie for providing my daughter (and me) with a night we will NEVER, EVER forget!!! His hospitality to us was amazing!! This is all my daughter has been talking about since it happened!!! Truely an epic night!!! Oh and by the way, to the woman with 'Petunia', my daughter is already missing the both of ya'!! Hope I wasn't to wordy!!!! Peace and Keep On Rocking In The Free World !!!!

    I met Jeff on the street in Quebec City in Sept 2005 - the day after their show there. It was random. He was walking on the other side of the road so we called out to him, and he saw the Pearl Jam shirt my girlfriend at the time was wearing so he came over and chatted with us for a bit, and we got our pictures taken with him. He was totally down to earth!

    Very very briefly met Eddie in Albany last year. Just shook his hand and said thanks!
  • Dude, that is an awesome story... One that neither one of you will ever forget. I got goosebumps just reading it.
    I wanna taste... everyone I see....

  • met Ed after the solo show in Memphis last year -
  • I snuck backstage after a Ween show and met Deaner and Geaner :).

    Let's see, I've met Ed and Mike both 3 times and Jeff twice. No luck in meeting Stone, Matt or Boom though.

    The first time I ever met them back in 2003 was after the Benaroya gig. That one will always be special to me just because I had the opportunity to "geek" out on my PJ for a few days while hanging out with some really cool people which made the moments all that more special.

    The best meeting experience though would have to be the time I met him after his solo show in Santa Cruz back in '08. With about 7-10 of us remaining outside Ed finally emerged from the venue totally shit faced with a beer in one hand and his suit case in the other. He took his time and chatted with each one of us and I was able to get my event poster from the gig personally signed to me and my daughter!!

    Great times indeed!!

    I have shaken Eddie's hand twice, once outside of his solo show in NYC and one in Albany, and after the Albany show actually met him and had a conversation with him and a couple of other diehards pertaining to that Gus Van Sant movie Last Days. It was really interesting and Eddie is so nice and down to earth. He gave me a pick and a hug and complimented me on my Who t-shirt.
