    You should contact the 10c. They might reconnect if you haven’t already done so. Eddie would remember for sure. What a great memory.

    Indeed. They should totally reconnect.

    I don’t want to press it. I’m sure Ed is busy and don’t want him to think I’m a weirdo  :s

    Ed stopped by twice and you ghosted him...you're just returning his call at this point.

    Ghosted?? Ha! 90’s man - no text, no email and no return info. I’ve had a few serious things come up in life since then. Sorry to say, Ed was not my priority in life. Just another person… and technically, he stopped by 4 times.

    This is amazing! So sorry about the burglary... I hope that somehow EdVed hears about it and gets something special to you.
    Thank you! It’s no big deal. I’ve lived without it. All that is important is the memory and don’t need anything 
    So true!  Memories are what last forever.  That you have a souvenir from when they were made is a lovely bonus.  Your story and your copies of the messages were a wonderful read - thanks so much for sharing.  You made a lot of smiles today…

    Good food. He would Def remember. Plus he's used to weirdos

    Wow!
    It would be great if he saw this, surely he would remember that connection he had with you.
    Thanks for sharing

    First of all, amazing story; I hadn’t seen it when you posted it originally. Amazing that Ed was this thoughtful even back when he was more shy and just starting out with fame. 

    Tell you what, I would not be surprised if we hear that Breath is played in Seattle.  Hope it happens.

    Something tells me OP won't have to wait outside, they'll be hanging around backstage if this gets enough attention.

    Mookey is correct. You are of need to reply to him. Send him a note..to the Ten Club overnight to Ed Vedder C/O Santos L. Halper with YOUR Return Address Tony Balsalmo and the former restaurant address. You Should go to dinner together. Ed and yourself out to dinner at your favorite place in Seattle. Pretty sure Ed is a foodie. You are the first official fan. Are you going to the Seattle shows? Go Tony!
    Going Tuesday..I See...Prepare...we are going to make this a reunion!!!

    Um… that sounds like a lot. I’ve got too much stuff going on to chase him down… my 9 year old son is 4 years in remissIon from cancer and I’ve been diagnosed with PTSD from earlier traumas in my life. Trust me, Ed wants no part of me. I just want to go enjoy his artistry and hope he plays Breath… it resonated in 1992 when it was released, and resonates now

    Funny how back then we saw bands as ourselves. Maybe a little starstruck but never really cared. Not sure how or when superstardom kicks in and we elevate band members like they are gods. Just interesting and weird what happens.
    Now I flip out if I get handed a pick! (or find one in a pile of junk on the floor)

    What happened to me!!!!!!!

    Just strange.

    Ok 

    Play Breath you f..kers
