I tried to get a wedding invitation to the stage (through a friend) that I don't think ever made it. Now I feel kinda selfish. Hope your message got through! And all the best to you and your family.

From what I've read it looks really good - so I'm gonna say.. deserved, happy for you and your dad. Don't it make you smile?
The worst enemies of music? Money and Mathematics. Combined with music, they both do the exact opposite of what they're supposed to do. Money makes music cheap, mathematics makes it stupid and predictable.

That's a hell of a lot for a family to go through never mind just one man. This is far from being a stupid thread and I'm sure nobody will suggest it. I hope this comes off, if someone from the band sees this you'd have a really good chance to have your dad acknowledged. Best wishes to you and him and I really hope you enjoy your show for all the right reasons.

Cool! This will surely be taken care of then. Ed doesn't let these slip very often.

P.S. The little fella writes quite well for a 14 year old.
Everyone just because I am a "little fella" doesn't mean I'm not as huge as a PJ fan as you guys because I know that's what your thinking. I am a HUGE HUGE PJ fan. I have every boot every known to PJ fans! Again thanks for your support and keep bumping!![/quote]
Hahaha, not at all Bro. I got into PJ when I was 11, just as Ten came out, and was a MASSIVE fan in not very long at all. That's what PJ does to us! Good on ya! Glad 14 year olds are still into PJ!

I remember when the whole shoe debacle was going on, I was thinking to myself, "who throws a shoe on stage?" And I'll admit, I was silently judging the person for being a drunken buffoon who would now be without his shoe.....BUT, this is yet again why YOU SHOULD NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER!!! Never in a million years would I have guessed something so awesome was happening!
I am so glad this story has been shared here, both of the OP's dad and their family struggles and accomplishments, and to read what two people, who had no reason to help out the OP at all, have done to help out a fellow fan!
I've always truly believed that SO many good people still exist in the world and it's stories like these that confirm that fact over and over and over.
Whether the dedication happens or not, I hope you share this story with your dad.

you just reminded me of austin powers... "WHO THROWS A SHOE??? REALLY??"
And James, I dig that you are a young PJ fan, I took my daughter who is 17 to a show and she said "geez I feel soooo young" so it's great to see that the someone from your generation is such a huge fan! So tell us, what is your favorite Album and besides Alive, what about your favorite song?
I just saw this video and I feel like an eight year old. To see the envelope that was in my hand a minute before it was in Eddie's and to know that dedication will happen...I'm floored. Chris, awesome idea with the sneaker!!
Awesome story. Thanks for posting everyone. This story is exactly why I love PJ. The band loves the fans who return the favor every night. And the fans also in turn look out for one another. Thanks in advance to Ed and the guys for what I'm assuming will be an amazing Alive!
A good compromise, a good piece of legislation, is like a good sentence; or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say, 'Huh. It works. It makes sense.'

I read this thread before the Buffalo show, and saw the shoe thrown on stage and was wondering why someone would do that (after the last shoe incident). But, now seeing the video and knowing the letter was in the shoe...AMAZING!! You guys are great, thank you for doing that for him
OP - I wish nothing but the best for you and your Dad and I really hope you get your wish!
