Oh, I am in tears...what a beautiful story..and the pictures only add to how happy you were. Ed and Mike seemed pleased too.
I am glad you enjoyed the show and the company of those guys.

Great fucking story, man. Thanks for sharing. I met Eddie at a Paul McCartney show in Seattle and he was incredibly generous and friendly. I'm really happy for you that you had that experience.
I truly appreciate your story. As a teacher and one who has worked with people with disabilities I give you so much credit and your family just for getting to the show. I am so glad you were able to meet Ed. I am an absolute Pearl Jam fan, tonight in Boston will be my 28th show. I would love to meet Ed and the guys but I would have gladly stepped aside if it were so that you could. You are a true inspiration, and I am so glad you had a great experience. Keep on ROCKING!!!!!
your story of all the things you had to overcome is so inspirational, and on top of that its amazing that you were able to meet eddie and mike... just fantastic!!!
That's awesome. I've heard so many great stories about how nice the guys are - it's great to hear another one!

The worst enemies of music? Money and Mathematics. Combined with music, they both do the exact opposite of what they're supposed to do. Money makes music cheap, mathematics makes it stupid and predictable.
