    What the hell happened to your quote button in this attempt?

    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..

    Why is it hard to believe? Lou does it all day long ;)..

    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



    I just choose to believe that people are good, makes the day much more pleasant :)

    Wanted to believe you my friend. But after all of the doubt on here I checked the website: http://www.umt.edu/catalog/ Maybe I'm looking in the wrong area, but could not for the life of me find your listed "Entertainment Management" class. Entertaining read though.

    I found it "Principles of Entertainment Management I" and there is a II also.

    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

    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.

    Anyway, sounds fishy to me.

    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.
