Met Jeff last night

I really can't believe this happened.
After having an amazing night sitting third row at Eddie last night, I was on a high on the trip back to NY from NJ. This being my last show of the tour, I was glad it ended on such a great and powerful evening.

I was waiting outside of MSG (Penn Station) for a ride, and a familiar face comes walking right towards me. My eyes bug out, and all of the sudden the words "Hi Jeff" come out of my mouth with a big goofy smile. He stopped and talked for a moment. I told him I was just at Eddie's show in NJ and that it was amazing. To which he said he was there a couple of nights ago. He chatted a little more and then said "It was nice to meet you"

What an amazing Pearl Jam summer!

    I met him before in 1999 after a Three Fish show, and got my picture taken w him. I have had that picture hanging over my bed in the 5 apartments I've lived in since... but decided not to include that into our discussion last night.

    hah

    I know... so many things you want to say in the moment... but that usually all goes out the window when you are actually in it. (well for me it does)

    A bit off the subject, but I dreamt last night that jeff and matt quit the band
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    ...now they're back together, uh.
    Misunderstanding, didn't understand.
    It doesn't matter, now they're back together again.

    not as incredible as the kids that met paul mccartney at a gas station in springfield, IL 2 days ago... THAT would be completely unexpected... but cool story!

    glad you got to meet him :D

    Know how many times I've stood on that corner and my RIDE never showed up? And you get Jeff...get on your knees and thank the God Eddie doesn't believe in!

    Can't you give us any more details about what was said, he was alone, I take it, bloody hell, even I'd go see the damn Police this late in the game if I could go with him. Don't make us call and email your professor to make sure this story is true, now, come clean with us! (I'd put a smiley face here, but I don't know how...)

    That's too funny. I was just thinking about that today. I still feel bad for that guy who generously shared when Jeff spoke to his class at U of Montana. He got reamed for it!

    But I second that request, please post more details. We promise to be nice : ).

    I like how the OP's name is PearlJen and you respond with "Nice dude!"

    I literally laughed-out loud at that for some reason. :)

    What do you want a script of the dialogue?
    It was a few minutes... we just talked about Eddie's shows...he was by himself...
    It was really nothing except for the fact that it was JEFF F'N AMENT!

    I'm so glad I picked that corner to wait on... *sigh*

    wow, what are the odds of THAT happening. Seeing Ed, going to the state next door and running into Jeff.

    That's some pretty damn slim odds.

    The force is with you :)

    Nice story :D
