HEY...I saw you and your son on the second floor on the parking garage when I was leaving. Me and the girl I was with were walking to our car and you guys were all doing something by your car in the same area. Your son was wearing a 2008 Pearl Jam shirt with the grimreaper on it. Right? I was kind of in a haze with the fact that I met Eddie Vedder and he hugged me and everyone else in line. Great night.

Congrats to you my friend! Good Karma has been received by you. After reading your account it took me back to my first Ed show at the Wiltern in LA. My wife and I rolled up there greener than green on what to expect at such a small venue after following PJ around for many years at the stadiums. You were the guy that befriended us and told us what to expect and we ended up meeting Ed after the show and I felt like your son. So special!

WOW...this is amazing story Don, I am really happy for you and Casey.
I really enjoyed reading whole story twice

Congats again my friend :clap:

Now you have to frame this special set list and the poster, maybe together.

Thanks Nico my overseas friend. I am right wit your thinking. Im going to frame it up as soon as I get some pictures. Or a thumb drive to bring to have photos made

Im open for some framing ideas but what I had in mind was to try and get ahold of 6 to 8 great photos of Casey and me with Eddie and Glen singing up on stage together.

Im thinking the signed set list will be the center piece and depending on the size of the pictures 3 or 4 on each side going down the length of the set list. Then under the setlist evenly spaced the 4. Vedder guitar picks he was given by Eddie. He was given 2 perfect sets. 2 Batman picks and 2 of the 2012 ev tour pics so I can frame each side differently so front and back are shown. And because I think it may look like its missing something in the 2 bottom corners I will have both of our 2nd row ticket stubs. There to give it a nife full look. I will also have to use a nice matting. I don't know what color Casey would want. He will probably ask me what's Eddie's touring colors. Or I can suggest the color of the poster orget the poster as a background somehow. Its not a busy poster. Its just the guitar.
I don't have anything set in stone. I am open to suggestions.

I also was not able to take any pictures of us or casey with the guys on stage due to the fact I was allowed to be a backup singer on the last 2 songs. I wish I had thought of taking a picture of Casey with Eddie and Glen. Im sure Eddie would of allowed it for the boy.

So im asking and begging if necessary for any close up pictures that someone may have snapped of us 4 together. Even if its just my son and Eddie or my son with just Glen work's. Anything you think we may love to have framed.

Im not looking for the pictures for free. I will pay fair price what ever that would be or I can trade you some PJ or Vedder older tour merch or new that u may not have.

I will be forever grateful for a thumb drive or pictures or even a few emails of pictures I can open easily. Im not good with computers so if its a coded email ill need help getting it opened.

If you insist on not wanting anything for helping me I will send you something anyway. A nice surprise of some sort maybe something so you can share in our feeling of that night.

Thank you to all that have read the story. I hope it flowed well enough to keep you interested to the end. I haven't read it yet. Maybe ill give it a go after I say thank you to all that post on here.

Hey Don! Did you get the email I sent a while back with the photos?? I didn't even know you were offering to pay for them. I have one GREAT one of the four of you, and the rest were so so. But all 4 of you singing on the same mic... it's a good picture. Let me know if they ended up in your spam folder or something and I'll resend.
