    what quote button??am i missing something

    Like Lou said, you are not quoting properly. It is hard to decipher where my quote ends and your ramblings begin..In the future, hit the 'quote' button on the bottom of the post you want to quote..

    I don't really pay much attention to Lou :D

    He's a fellow New Englander too so I'll cut him some slack anyway

    That's my biggest argument as well.

    It's not like we're talking about Eddie Vedder here. The average student these days would have trouble identifying Pearl Jam, no less Jeff Ament..maybe it wasn't a big deal....but to this dude it obviously was, so you're right, he should have a pic..

    I should have included that. Jeff DID say the show they booked next year is Bonaroo.

    You heard it here first.

    But who am I? Just some jerk university student who happened to be in the same room where Jeff gave a speech yesterday.


    oh shit

    i am there!
  • And for the record, I tend to have WAY too much faith in people, so it's not like I don't think people are good or anything.

    There are just some things that scream doubt to me that's all.

    Like when that person claimed that Eddie played with Kid Rock and everyone thought they were crazy.

    I believed it the second I read it because it made sense and nobody would have reason to make that up. It was great when all the pictures showed up and put everyone in their place.

    But this is all a little too cookie-cutter for me.
  • I bet Matt and Mike are not the one's with huge opinions. But, this is a very cool post, thanks!

    I'm with you on one thing- there wouldn't have been a media "circus" outside the class if they announced who was speaking (allegedly). Until not too long ago, everyone in the band besides Ed wore their "all access" passes backstage where they were not the headliners (i.e., Bridge). Lots of people wouldn't know the rest of the band if they fell over them.

    Second, whether this story is true or not- think to yourselves honestly- honestly... if you were given the chance to be in a somewhat intimate environment with one of the guys in the band, knowing what you know about them, would you really take out your camera phone and obviously snap a picture? It's better to ask first.

    Not surprised to hear they take care of their crew. Although it is somewhat disappointing to find out that f'er George Webb is rich.

    I am guessing it will be posted in this section:

    Huge thanks to Evil Beaver for the awesome story. :D

  • WHo would be so rude to take a picture of someone speaking to a class?

    If jeff came to speak to one of my college classes NO ONE would take a picture with their camera phone, cause to them, the bassist to PJ is not a big deal like Michael Jordan would be. Not even I, a big fan of Jeffs, would be so rude to snap a pic.

    You'd look like an idiot holding your phone up taking pics of a guest speaker.

    perhaps the students were happy to listen, and did not feel the need to take pictures.

    Anyone who eventually works in entertainment needs to learn to act professional in front of the talent!

    not everyone would be awestruck in such a situation, and less hoopla caused by picturestakers may help ensure future visits.
