That was the best 10 minutes 37 seconds ever, simply awesome. You looked so cute up there with him, not afraid at all. Thank you so much for posting. I loved it!
And that's why I'd cry, just so overwhelming. But you did a great job!
Me, I'd probably be fighting back tears & be overwhelmed.

If Ed called ME up on stage,
I would gather myself,
and try to remember the most intellectual question I read on the
" If you could ask Ed anything?" thread, and ask it that question.
Failing that,
I would ask him if my arse looked big in these jeans........
and regardless of his answer,
I can live happily ever after knowing Ed checked out my arse :P
OMFG...to dance with Ed...oh to have been you that night!
WOW!!!
peace,

I would rip stones guitar out of his hands and whale on the song that they will play next. Then I would hug them all smash the guitar and say THANK YOU GOODNIGHT!!!!
If I were Eddie Vedder, would you like me any better? - Local H
if Eddie called me up on stage he should sing "I seem to recognize your face". I am now living up to that part you know
Elderly Woman.... and I know his face really well too.
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 !!!!

The audience video from that night that I have ends before Wash.
If anyone has a full video of 9-5-00, I would not only be eternally grateful, but would also make it worth your while.
Holy F***ing Shit !!! I think I would hyperventilate. That is a dream come true!
I would probably do the same...pee myself :oops: , then run around like a woman possessed with wet pants!!!
i want to be that kid, on the shoulders
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
i dont think it will work out so well for us that way...i'm like 105 lbs, i think i'm going to have to be the liftee vs the lifter...
I would gather myself,
and try to remember the most intellectual question I read on the
" If you could ask Ed anything?" thread, and ask it that question.
Failing that,
I would ask him if my arse looked big in these jeans........
and regardless of his answer,
I can live happily ever after knowing Ed checked out my arse :P
Happy Jammin.
OMFG...to dance with Ed...oh to have been you that night!
WOW!!!
