    I met Ed in San Diego last year, had what I was gonna say figured out till he got to me and shook my hand, then I just totally froze and the only thing I could think to say was, "Hi Ed". Was still amazing, he shook my hand and I really wish I could have gotten a pic with him but he just wanted to make it brief.

    Met/shook hands after two solo shows. But the best "meeting" was at the Toronto 2003 show. My wife, Amy, and I had seen 5 shows heading into Toronto. My membership number got us in the first few rows each show and for this one we were 2nd row, dead center.

    At the end of Rockin in the Free World where Eddie had thrown numerous tambourines out in the crowd Amy turns to me, nearly in tears, and says "why doesn't he toss me one, I know he sees me wearing my Rock for Choice shirt?" The band comes back for Baba O'Riley and Ed has more tambourines to toss. As he moves from one side of the stage to the other Ed and I make eye contact. I point down to Amy (who I'm standing behind as the crowd is hopping over the chairs to get closer). Ed points at her and then leans over and practically drops a tambourine in her hands! Amy turns to me with the biggest smile, oblivious to my getting Ed's attention.

    So even though we didn't talk or shake hands I consider this my best meeting with Ed :)

    From all the stories, sounds like Ed has been quiet gracious.

    I am so jealous reading this thread. So cool!

    I would be one of the people who would completely botch such a meeting. If it went anything like when I met Olympian Dan Jansen this summer, it would go like:

    UD: "You're Eddie Vedder!"
    EV: "Yes I know. Nice to meet you."
    UD: "Nice to meet you too, Eddie Vedder! Nobody will believe this!"
    EV: "Would you like to take a photo?"
    UD: "My hands are shaking too much because you're Eddie Vedder!"
    (at this point Mr. Unlost takes a photo)
    UD: "Thank you Eddie Vedder!"
    Mr. Unlost: "Please stop saying Eddie Vedder."

    Yeah. It would be that cool.
    Sadly, that is verbatim.
    :?


    hahaha this is hilarious.
