    Ok. Just got back from the Buffalo show. I was in the third row between Stone and Eddie. I tried all show to get your letter on stage but no one in front of me in the two front rows wanted to help. At the end I had a fellow 10C'er help me out and he launched his sneaker on stage with your letter in it. Basically the sneaker Eddie set on fire in Buffalo contained your letter and Eddie did remove your letter before the inferno. I saw it in his hand and he shot us a "look". Message delivered and I hope he read it. I will try again in Hartford this Saturday for you. Good luck to you and your family.

    There are some Legends on this board!...this thread is awesome (bump). I had to laugh at 'the sneaker Eddie set on fire in Buffalo contained your letter' now that's what I call rock and roll, man.

    Best of luck James, and keep us all posted, remember some of us live at the bottom of the world and need to hear via the pit what goes down in cases like this.

    and keep bumping!

    I know some people don't like the term "jamily" but it really is very fitting.
    We care about each other like family and we make memories together and we watch out for each other like family. Even worry, shed a tear, or pray if so inclined. I call that family. Pearl Jam family = Jamily

    that is one bad ass move... giving up a sneaker for a fellow fan who is a stranger... as I recall, there is a bad history with throwing shows (ref: shoe the shoeless), so I am not surprised the sneaker was sacrificed... great job though... I will be at MSG and hope to hear the outcome...

    I was going to say "don't sell the 10c short" and I wouldn't be a bit surpirsed if they got the message to the band.

    But, it looks like one of us were able to get the message on stage. Hope things work out, and you get your Alive request for your pops!

    Well done, David. Good Karma coming your way.

    I didn't give up my sneaker. Here's the complete story now that I am sober. I met up with a fellow 10c'er before the show to use my extra ticket. His name is Chris A. and I think his name on this board is tightropehigher. I sat with his girlfrfiend for most of the show in row 3 while Chris was in row 11. Eventually they switched places during the first encore. I tried for most of the show to get the envelope passed up but had no luck. I explained to Chris what I was trying to do and promised him a ticket for MSG2 for no charge if he got the envelope on stage. Chris grabbed the envelope and hopped the two rows. Just as he got to the front he took his sneaker off, put the folded envelope in and tossed it to Eddie who had a bewildered look on his face. He took the envelope out and looked at it.

    The next is a little blurry. For some reason Chris' other shoe ended up on stage and one of them Eddie set fire to. In hind sight because of the "shoe thing" I would have advised Chris not to do this. It worked though and no one got in trouble.


    Congrats James, your letter was delivered. Also, congrats Chris. I am a man of my word and if you can get to MSG2 I have a ticket for you free of charge.

    I know I had WAY too much to drink last night. My fiancé couldn't make it and she's usually the angel on my shoulder to my little devil but am I imagining Eddie setting the shoe on fire? Last night was such a blur. Can someone who was there confirm? Thanks.

    what a great story! I really hope Eddie read the letter, and if so, would find it hard to believe he would not grant that request.

    See everyone in Hartford and Boston!
