He is adorable, I agree. And I love when Eddie is over with Mike smiling about it.

Just bought an orange Stone pick t-shirt from ccfa. Can't wait to get it!

VEDHEAD27

Hell yes bookworm30! I'm lovin your Stoney love.

Ooooh and MusicForRhinos! That story about him biking made me laugh out super loud. That's so cool that you spotted him and damn, that fit is oh so Stone. DRESS SOCKS?!?! hahahah. The man and his socks.....

Well wow....it's been awhile. My body's been on strike recovering from a non-stop overload of extreme bliss, unimaginable PJ utopia. Being back in the real world is tough stuff. Ah but the memories...the memories.:o There are waaaaay too many stories of STONEY LOVE to get out. Did you know him and the ponies are like BFF these days? :eek: CRAZINESS! I don't even know where to begin and I'm not sure that I'm gonna stop anytime soon. I really gotta do this in daily sections or something. haha. Maybe like a new reflection each day? hehe. Well for now let me sneak in a few cuze damn this shit is built up!!!

Ummm for starters, Nadia thank you so much for posting that article. Awww! Stoney the environmentalist!? I fuckin LOVE it! There he goes again! Jesus! These guys are always increasing the love & respect I swear. It's outta control! Stoney's dedication to this really touches my heart. *sigh* Making the world a better place on so many infinite levels. And god...listening to him break it down is just jaw-dropping! You go Stoney!

AND....
*ahem*

" I'm happy as a clam. I'm in a fantastic band with people who I love and friendships that I've had for a long time, and we're still growing and learning about each other and figuring out how to communicate with each other. I couldn't be having more fun in terms of being a band and discovering what that's all about. I'm a young 40-year-old kid at this point, and nobody's told me I have to go back to school yet, so I'm continuing on with summer vacation."

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!! *hugs everything in sight* !!!! That is beeeeeeeautiful! You can so see that/hear that/feel that happiness and love from him too. 40-year-old kid? Hell yes! We are all on summer vacation with you too Stoney! The summer of STONEY love. National Lampoon's Gossard vacation. Huh?? Yeah I have no idea....

OK so my first reflection...

**I SAW THE MAN SING DON'T GIMME NO LIP!!!!!! :eek: !!! YEEEEEEEEEEAH!!! FINALLY! FINALLY! *does backflip* And you guys, he was SO fuckin cocky about it. haha. I was all prepared for the awesome ackwardness but nope...Stone was a supreme "I own you" PIMP badass with not an ounce of bouncy-arm in air-ackwardness. Who's to say what did it...bday confidence? Insane amount of love from previous shows? A combination of both and so much more! Whatever the case, I have never seen him that confident. It...was...AWESOME! We all knew he was gonna sing, I mean...it just had to happen...but still...I lost it!! The full on freak out of hardcore ponies is a very serious thing. That snorefest of a crowd had not a clue. "Who's Pearl Jam?" haha. I was flippin the hell out....could not stop bouncing and smiling!!! WOOOOO!<~~~hahah. When he lets that out? OMG I LOVE IT! Awww I also got to share the share with a fellow pony, Pati! It was the best! We sang happy bday to the mighty man side by side too. Without a doubt the greatest part of that show...who I was with and the STOWNED (love it Happenstance !) encore.

Also, before Ed led us into the Happy Bday song he said "I know some of you have been waiting all night for this" HA!!!! Pati and I were like *raises hands* "RIGHT HERE!!!" hahaa. Eddie also said some super sweet words of praise. He was saying how Stone has a lot of things he could choose to do with his life and how they all feel so blessed that he chooses Pearl Jam. He went onto say something along the lines of what a huge part of the band he is. Stoney was loooovin the love. The entire night was this 40-year-old kid's playground! *sigh* To be a part of that was so very special. Smashing the cake on his head?! hehe! OMG that was classic!! He did that to HIMSELF?? LOL!!#$%

Eddie : "You look like a princess."

ahahaha! I was getting such an ab workout from this shit! The way it smashed on his head actually created what looked like a tiara. Too much! Then Eddie scooped some off and ate it. HA! All I know is the majority of that cake was on there for heeeeella long. hehe. I remember him rockin a few songs later during Life Wasted (which, as I'm sure you all know, involves major head movement on his part) and it was still glued on there. Hilarious!!! All night the man was laughing and smiling non-stop while simultaneously kickin major ass! The bday boy was fired up and smashing not only cakes but that entire stage...oooh and the kit! :eek: He rocked the hell outta that kit! He was so proud of himself too. Pati and I couldnt get over that. hehe. Right before Mikey's solo on Yellow Ledbetter Stoney did this little final drum roll and completely nailed it. He was grinning from ear to ear. As Mikey is over there making love to that solo, Stoney steps down from the kit (wearing that huge ass grin ) and busts into some AIR DRUMMING!!!! ahahah. Too cute. He was just so damn proud of himself that he had to duplicate what just took place in air form to celebrate!!! Jeff comes over and gives him props, Matt too.... then Ed and Boom. They are all huddled there smiling, loving...while Mikey continues to work his magic. Matt picks up a beer and toasts to Stone and then Stone picks up his and turns around and toasts to everything. Just beautiful. So much love! So much. And specifically SO MUCH STONEY LOVE!!!! I feel beyond fortunate to have been there. It helps to talk about it cuze I'm really still trying to remind myself that all this actually happened.

For the record~>This year = Stone's bitch! This is THE YEAR OF STONEY LOVE to the greatest extreme. It's like finally the rest of the world is 'getting it'. THAAAAANK YOU! I mean as if being in awe of how completely rejuvenated and on fire the entire band is in every single way/shape/form isn't enough...to see the Gossman FINALLY getting massive amounts of love and respect at the live shows?? :eek: *heart flutters* God! It's pretty much the greatest thing ever. Soon I will elaborate on the riduckulous SF love. SF = the heart of PONYLAND! HOOOOLY SHIT!!!!!!

Ok, next time on VEDHEAD's STONEYtellers >> I'm gonna post about HOLY SF III(oooh my god people!!) and also about a sweet friend that met the man himself and had the most excellent Stoney encounter I have ever heard of.... which spawned THE BEST PICTURE ON THE PLANET! :eek:

~it just keeps growing and growing and growing and growing.....~
**Here's to the NEVER-ENDING STONEY LOVE***

I am mine
