Video and pics of Stone playing Green Seattle Day this past Saturday

So, my brother recently moved to Seattle and I decided to come visit him. He set up some cool stuff for us to do over the course of the weekend (went indoor rock climbing for the first time, my forearms are killing me!). I've been to Seattle numerous times so the usual tourist-type stuff like the EMP and Space Needle were out (been there, done that)....he had to dig a little deeper to impress me. Well, one of the things he thought would be cool to do while I was here was to sign up to volutneer for the 3rd Annual Green Seattle Day (greenseattle.org).

Over 700 volunteers got together to plant trees and native species of plants at parks all across Seattle from 10am - 2pm this past Saturday. So, we showed up to volunteer and went to the tent where we had to sign in and get our gloves and be assigned to a "group". When we were signing up, a event staffer asked us if we'd be attending the show that evening and that if we were, we'd each need a wristband. We were like...."uh, what show?". She's like, "Well there's an after-party for all the volunteers at King Cobra that starts at 6pm and a bunch of bands and dj's are playing....and the drummer (ha!) from Pearl Jam, Stone Gossard". My brother and I were like , "two wristbands, please!). Anyway, I'll cut to the good stuff. We showed up super early, were 2 of about 5 people that watched Stone's band soundcheck, and just had a really good time. They had a ton of vegan food there that was honestly just awesome and we got to chat with a couple cool people. The best thing about it was that I only saw ONE Pearl Jam shirt the entire evening, and it was really cool to watch Stone slurping down a beer and watching the other bands all by himself without ANYONE bugging him for a picture or anything like that. It was like I was watching Stone in his natural environment and not in a zoo, know what I mean? Not once did I see anyone go up and bother him. So, here's some pictures. He formed a band with The Roy Kay Trio and a DJ (I don't remember the DJ's name). At one point an insanely awesome beat-boxer got on stage and laid down some wicked beats shit that Stone was totally digging. Any-who....check out the pics and let me know if you were there too! I'm trying to upload some video to YouTube and will update this post with the videos (you get to see Stone rap! Sort of....) as soon as they're done uploading. Cool!
