No no no...he didn't "walk by." He was five feet from walking in to a bar full of drunk Pearl Jam nuts. It was maybe the most clutch moment of my fanhood, but I stepped out to see him. He stopped and looked at me with a trademark Stone Gossard smirk, a look that said "here we go again." I returned the smirk, thinking of the good but passionate people inside, like Derek's friend, who would embarrass himself slightly by running out of the bar a few moments later to chase Stone and fortunately for Stone not find him. I imagined what a mob scene it would be for Mr. Gossard, visiting our city for the first time in 8 years, imagining a dozen future tour itineraries with Minnesota blacked out as he remembered getting smothered in a bar in downtown St. Paul. I also thought of myself, desperately feeling the urge to ask for a photo, an autograph, something.

But from somewhere inside, I felt that small purpose turn into composure. Smirking myself still, I leaned in to Mr. Gossard and said: "you don't want to go in there. It's a 10 Club pub crawl. They'll tear you apart."

Stone nodded for a moment and then broke into a laugh. He said "thanks for the headsup" and turned away from the bar, off to some safer locale. I gave him an innocent "have a good night" and went back inside to collect myself and wonder when again I would ever muster that much self-control. Fellow fans who were at the pub crawl might hear that story and wonder "what might have been" bad I not intervened. I too wonder that, for this is the story of the night I saved Stone Gossard in downtown St. Paul!



There. Now I've told it!

^^^ I was just telling this story to a buddy of mine the other day while having a drink a GreatWaters.

AndySlash

don't get me wrong, joe, it was absolutely the right thing to do and i would think i would have done the same thing- it was only fair to him. BUT, it's a good story of course i will continue to poke fun at it for as long as i can.

Joe, I'm sure your baby ear infection made you less the fan boy in that instant as well.. the meds kept you rooted. good job, but.. dang it!

Stone was better off. Wild Times is the worse bar in Hamm Plaza.
