Well I came all the way from Hamilton Ontario Canada to see both NYC MSG shows and they were awesome, even better than I expected, which was a lot. But the best part was before the first show I was walking around msg and out of nowhere I see Jeff Ament walking into the media entrance. I yelled his name and he was nice enough to turn around and take a picture with me! What an awesome guy, being willing to take some time to take a picture with a fan. Very nice guy too, shook his hand and told him to have a great show. Can't wait till they come back to Canada!

I have the picture but I don't know if you can post them on this site? any help on that I will gladly share my new favourite picture.

    Jeff was awesome, we didn't really talk all that much just shook his hand and told him to have a good show. He was decent enough to take the picture though. Here's the pic I don't know if this will work.

    I am pretty sure he is saying to himself...."great another fucking fan. let's just get this over already".

    *phew* I was thinking Jeff Dahmer.. before I read it I was thinking "And she lived to tell about it!"

    Good thing it was just Jeff Ament! (I think, who knows??? He is sort of reclusive I've heard.. Plus there's that Montana/Unibomber thing.. hmmmm)

    =)

    EDIT: OOPS, HE lived to tell about it.
    Just me

    Oh yeah I forgot to mention this, he was wearing a Ted Leo and The Pharmacists t-shirt which I thought was pretty cool of him to actually support the opening act. PJ is always good to their opening acts. Just not the ones playing after like Kanye!
