Speachless.................... .well not completely. Just got back from Zagreb after the greatest week of my life.

The whole day of the gig was amazing, starting with the 10c que where we met some great people, Lucky Chris and Mel especially.

The show was mind blowing, I nearly passed out at one point and was foolishly contemplating leaving my teasured spot on the barrier. Thank god I didn't coz I got to touch the hand of god. Blessed art though Ed. I haven't washed my hand since! After 15 years of this connection I've felt with the band it was truly amazing to have this little bit of human contact with a member of the band.

Anybody else feel as moved by their experiences?

  • I did. :) But I washed my hand. But..the memory will never be washed off. I got a special look to. Of course it was special (it was for me!)..it was a weird movement of the eyebrows and the nod that came next. Well, Eddie if you were surprised..I was even more.:)
    Well mark, you can join me under my topic(Given to fly)> I SHOOK HANDS with EDDIE (and desire a pic)
    ..that would be nice.

    So how cool would it be if Mark actually had a photo of Stereotype & Eddie???
  • Now that I've calmed down a bit, I think the chanses are pretty slim.

    1. people that were in the T spot were very excited when Eddie was just 1 meter away, so a lot of them didn't videotaped or shoot photos (including me).
    Some did videotaped but their hands are shaking and quality is not good enough that you could see faces clearly.
    2. Few that did that, probably have one or two photos.
    3.Half of them are standing on the wrong site to have me.
    4. Those that had the right angle still small chanses that they have me on it.
    4a because there were many people..
    4b guards are bloking much of the view..
    5.If they have me..
    5a they could've deleted it
    5b don't read this forum
    5c read this forum but don't care if I get the picture
    So how cool would it be if Mark actually had a photo of Stereotype & Eddie???
    From one to ten...ELEVEN!!! :)
    very VERY cool

    As I said in my topic..(that could use some support)..maybe I should come up with an award, to get people motivated.
    And lets not forget Miiha, that joined me in my desperate topic...a pic of him when Ed gave him his tambourine would make him super happy.
    And yes we truly apreciate "only" a handshake and tambourine (without ever getting photos)...
    Peace.

  • Thank you so much Stereotype, I think I love you. xxx

    Just checked out your thread you told me about and on the Youtube link I'm stood just behind Ed at 1 min 18 with a HUGE grin on my face ( maybe something to do with just having touched the main man).

    I'm floating. Unfortunately, the girl I went with used up all my film on my disposable camera, taking the last pic just before he came down (so she is my ex-girlfriend now! Only joking, just.....) ,would have so loved to have a pic for you.

    Anybody any idea how I can save the Youtube vid to my computer? I so need to save it forever....and ever............
