Crazy Old Fans

Is this a good place to write something about our Pearl Jam journey? My husband and I are 68 and 67 years old, respectively. We actually became Pearl Jam fans tangentally.
Back in 2007 we saw the movie, "Once" with Glen Hansard and Margeta Irglova and ran right to the store and bought all The Frames CDs we could get our hands on. We saw the Swell Season on Thanksgiving Eve of 2007 in Boston. So...we were hooked on Glen Hansard.
Several years later Glen Hansard was opening for Eddie Vedder in Providence, RI (I believe it was 2011). We always liked Eddie Vedder so we bought tickets for the show thinking Eddie Vedder was an added bonus to seeing Glen. Well....that all changed that night. Eddie's solo show was astonishing and...we were hooked. Several months after that I asked my husband if he wanted to see his solo show again and he said, "Sure. Where is he playing," and I said, "Phoenix." So we flew to Phoenix to see the show again! I spoke with a photographer about the show and he said, "if you like his solo show you have to see Pearl Jam."
So we went to see Pearl Jam in Montreal. Then we saw them in Worcester, MA. Most recently we saw Pearl Jam in Quebec City. We are both retired now and have a dog walking and pet sitting business for extra cash. We moved from Massachusetts to Maine in 2015 and there's only one thing on our bucket list. We would give ANYTHING to meet the band...just once...just to shake their hands and to make them realize the scope of their impact on folks...young and old.
Is there any way you can pass our plea on to the band? It might sound crazy, but, they seem like the kind of guys that may consider our plea!!!
Thanks for much for indulging me.
