    lol... something along though lines. =) Except I would be leaving my boyfriend and he would probably ask me if we could share Eddie. =P

    But seriously, I have no idea what I would say. I'll just overcome that obstacle if and when I am every presented with it. But it would fuckin rock and I wouldn't be surprised if I freak out and walk the other way!

    I would be in utter shock...just euphoric. So I would probably either say nothing at all or something that I would regret. But if we were to have a real conversation, I would just thank him for everything, try to express what the music and everything means to me. I'd try to soak up some wisdom...

    I think you guys did just great. One thing I've noticed observing when fellow artists or musicians meet each other, they tend to relate on how the others art or music has effected or influenced them personally. Its a bit more meaningful than doing the Misery "im your biggest fan thing".

    I'd thank him and tell him to keep on enjoying his craft and making music. Eventually if time allowed talk about our kids and parenthood.

    I wouldn't say alot... probably something along the lines of:

    I... I... Love you...

    and then i'd run away.... like Napoleon Dynamite.


    :D

    funny!

    I'd probably just say "thanks, Pearl Jam's music has kept me sane all these years". :)

    I'd like to tell him how much Pearl Jam means to me...that their music has gotten me through some of the toughest times of my life.

    But what would be more likely to happen is i'd stammer out an "I i i ...uh, i love you." and start to cry. :rolleyes: :p

    i would tell him....

    1) stop with the solo tour, we prefer the whole band

    2) tour the rest of the country and Europe

    3) get into the studio and work on another album

    4) get Stone some hair plugs ala Brett Michaels

    5) thank you for the memories!

    Just wanted to say that was a nice story Hard2IMAGINE2007VIC. I now wish even moreso that I'd hung around after the SC and/or Berkeley show just to meet Eddie.

    I met Eddie in the parking lot at Great Woods in Boston in 2003 - I shook his hand and said, "I just want to thank you for being a part of my life for the past 12 years" and he said, "Aw, thanks for letting me." Greatest moment EVER!

    Thank you for throwing tambourines to my niece and nephew. You and Mike gave us a story to share even 25 years down the road. I have four more nieces. You think you're ready?:)

    Now, if we were in a bookstore, of course he would ask me what's the best Pablo Neruda book to give to a friend, and I would say Fully Empowered. If he asked me if I knew a good book on enlightenment I would laugh, and say "haha funny, yeah right."

    If I saw him in a cafe, and recognized him, I would quickly open a book and read intently. I wouldn't want to stare, and I wouldn't want him to see me staring. The man wants a coffee, I would leave him alone. I would stare at him in lots of other places, just not in a cafe with book in hand.

    If he was at the shore I wouldn't know it because I'm always ill prepared at the shore, and the sun would blind my eyes, and I would already be burned. No beaches for meeting Eddie Vedder for me.

    In a grocery store, I would definitely not know he's there even if he's within 1 foot of me, and we are both in front of the same pineapples. Whereas I'll be looking at my grocery list, he'll probably just leave - no conversation there. I'm too far into the produce search for distraction.

    I truly have no idea. But I hope to one day.

    I'd probably say thanks for inspiring loads of good times. Then I'd ask him what his favorite surfboard is and what are his favorite breaks in SD county. If we were out in the water, I probably wouldn't recognize him as I can barely recognize my wife in the lineup.

    I would just give him a hug. :)

    lol, it's probably a good thing he's not a germophobe. At least I hope he's not.
