Backstage after watching Cosmic Psychos at Sydney Big Day Out. Ed was in a great mood, as those who saw the show will contest, and really friendly and cool. I mentioned I've been a TenClub member since 1996 and whipped out 2 guitar picks and handed them to me and shook my hand. Then I asked if he would mind a pic and he was like "Yeah, of course!" A cool dude!

Also briefly met Jeff in catering in Sydney, hair an intro and handshake. Same with Mike in Melbourne. And chatted to the Mudhoney guys at all 3 shows (Gold Coast, Melbourne, Sydney). Got on well! Even had a wine with Steve Turner and a cigarette with Dan Peters!

    Not sure what kind of shirt it is, but Ed wore the same shirt in this photo-shoot:
