Half the fun was meeting other fans who had the same passion for music. The time waited seemed a trifle.

Ed (and the band) has been good to me, but really, some of the people I've met through the shows... I wouldn't trade even one of those good times I've had with them for them band laughs.

My wife and I have had about a 50/50 :? overall experience with the people we have communicated with through the Ten Club. This year there have been quite a few Jer*ks posting comments on our virgin threads. Meaning we're just recently getting comfortable with the way this site works. I do have to say that just lately the convos have been pretty cool and diversive. Their seems to be some extremely intelligent and down to earth people who pop in and out of this site. You'd think with the great taste in music and similar ideals this would be a great place to meet people. Well we're hoping for the best with that since our standards and morals are up their compared to normal people I don't know. nevermind :roll:

Yes!! My fiance and I were so extremely lucky to meet him after the Oakland show almost two weeks ago!! It was unbelieveable... surreal but he is so freaking real!! He was listening to what everyone was saying being so attentive and smiling!! I mean, he's a gorgeous human being!! I just wish I would have remembered to tell him that I will be walking down the aisle to The Long Road. I hope I get to meet him again!! :-)

Normal = Conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural. 2 Serving to establish a standard. I just wanted to add what normal means to me. Pretty idiotic Huh

How the hell does such power come from such a small package. Amazing.

That's what she said.

How tall would you say he is? I heard 5'5" and a max 5'6".

I would say 5'6. Now I am only 5'9 but not only was Ed short but small in stature, almost petite. I know I could take him.

Actually.. I have seen him fight and it's pretty crazy. the dude is quick and can take a punch!!!Also, he's really good at accidentally throwing a person through a wall height plate glass window!!! LMAO We didn't even know he was there til the fight broke out..That was ONE crazy night let me tell ya.. and sadly it was the fourth to the last Pearl jam show ( earlier that night) I'd get to see for the next 11 1/2 years..If you ever get to go to the French Quarter lounge in NO, look at the right hand corner of the bar slip, there's still a chip in it from where a chair got thrown across the room that night. P.S. ALLLLLLLL of us went to jail, even Ed, but he got be kept by himself..And yes he IS little!!
Sorry: side note here.. the last time I got to go to N.O. was pre-Katrina..but if they haven't remodeled that bar, the chip should still be there.. I know because I almost got hit by the chair that was thrown.. lol

Hey there everybody, I found a really cool link on you tube . I'm not sure how to post the link. So go to You tube and type in Eddie Vedder meet and greet the wiltern 2011. My wife and I met him after the concert the venue before this one :P :P . The experience was amazing . This video brought back the memories. For anyone who has done this or for people who have always imagined how it would be. This is definitely worth checking out. Does anybody have a memory of this tour they would like to share. Hope you enjoy this.

On that video 0:29-0:35, you can see how he makes a peace sign then he first points out towards a person (me -not in video) then points back to his chest and mouths "that's me". He saw my OGTG shirt and laughed then he acknowledged it saying "that's me"! That right there made my night!

Ha! Two things:
1. I always loved this story and it supported what I always thought and believed.
2. I always thought he must have been pretty jacked up dude against his size. From what we know/hear through the fan community and personal stories, you can tell he's one of those people who should NOT be aggravated

Well, thank you so much for sharing!

I've never met him, but I had a similar experience with him pointing out my t-shirt. I was lucky enough to have front row for the first night when they played Newfoundland in 2005 and I was wearing a Free The West Memphis 3 t-shirt that they sold during the Boston shows the year before. At the end of the show Ed pointed at my shirt, did a fist bump to his chest and gave me a peace sign. Front row would have been good enough. That experience with Ed was awesome!

Damn it!!!! I have to get me a cool shirt to wear to concerts. These PJ shirts aren't cutting it.

Seriously, these are awsome experiences. I had the orange "Old West" PJ shirt on right up front and I think he was checking it out for a sec.

It's in the French Quarter hotel if I remember right..It was a HUGE building with green trim accented in gold leaf, with gargantuan Windows that are like 8 feet or so high, and around 4-5 feet wide per pane and they surround one whole of the lower half of the building.. there's a cafe/grill on one side and a bar on the other,, the bar has all the windows..

Sorry..do you happen to remember a name? Was it on Bourbon Street? We have many hotels. Thanks.

Really I was super wasted that night.. and all I can remember specifically was that it was the oldest Hotel on the square. But those windows.. I would be able to find it in a heartbeat on sight.. I will look it up and tell you..

whispering hands

ok after much investigation..( now remember that alot has been changed since 1994, especially after Katrina), but The Inn on Bourbon Hotel seems to be the one..That's the only one I could find that had the windows and was a historic building there..which is the two things I remember.. we only picked that hotel bar cause my cousin lived right down the street from it..
