    I talked to Ed backstage at Columbia and was kickin myself for not getting a pic with him. He was with a guy who worked the venue. I shook his hand and said "Whats up Eddie" "Bonnaroo set blew my fucking mind" he laughed and said Thank you. It was a couple of minutes before he went on stage with KOL. In my case I shoulda asked for a pic huh???

    No. From the few times I've met Ed... he does not like pictures. I've seen him take 2 or 3... but, very reluctantly.

    I was sitting wih my wife on a NYC subway earlier today. I looked up at a stop and Matt Cameron and his two daughters walked in! He looked over at me, as I was pointing him out to my wife, and smiled.

    I totally wanted to ask him to take a picture with us, but he had his daughters with him so we didn't want to bother him.

    Anyway, it was awesome to see him. We got off at the same stop. They went into the museum of natural history. My wife and I headed to central park.

    So, that was it...but it was definitely a cool experience. I am super excited for tonight's show!

    Good job,,,it had to be hard, but I really admire you're respect for his privacy!

    I know hes not a fan of taking pics but, he was smiling and laughing! That might've been a good time for one. But anyways, I didnt want to be one of those guys...

    Looks like Matt's drum kit is a little bigger this time around - more cymbals especially. He better be careful, or he's liable to get himself kicked out of the band...

    He didn't throw a drumstick at you ?

    I just got home and was reviewing this thread and this made me crack up!

    That would've been awesome!

    ...He sees my wife and I staring at him, pulls a drumstick out of his back pocket and chucks it at us...
    Cheers!

    I've always wanted to meet Stone as his riffs are what really got me interested in the band back in the day (well that and Eddie's voice). But after seeing Matt with his kids, I am glad it was him.

    It was cool to watch him interact with them like any loving father would. They were all standing up on the subway. So, he was holding on to the rail and his girls were just clinging on to him. They were all smiling and having a good time.
    Cheers!

    Your demonstration of the awesomeness of your restraint is wonderful and to be congratulated. He recognized you, you recognized him, and on you went.

    Your karma can only go up from here!

    Neat! (But what the heck is he doin on the subway! Like he doesn't have a hotel towncar at his disposal? Too cool!!! This band is just too cool!)

    You bring up a great point. The fact that he was riding the subway is cool. He could have easily gotten a car from his hotel and not bothered, but he chose to take the subway like a regular joe!

    The Karma thing is funny. Because that thought actually crossed my mind. Like...don't bother him and you'll get paid back in other ways. Well, my 10C number is 224,XXX. My tickets for last nights show were section 3 row K seats 1 and 2. I have to say those were the best seats I've ever had. I believe I got lucky in the ticket lottery. It really made for one incredible night.

    I wonder how he would have reacted to a "looking forward to a great show tonight" or a quick "thanks for the music"

    I assume he wouldn't have minded and if I would've been a bit closer, I probably would've said something to that effect, but I didn't want to make a big deal about it by getting up and walking over to him, etc.

    Of course.
    That makes sense.
    If you were right next to him that would have been a different case

    I thought Matt had a boy, Ray, and a daughter, Josie?? They're sneaking kids in without checking with me first????

    All good fortune to you both for not interfering with Matt and with Mike, but man, that must have been an adorable thing to see Mike taping them helping Kaia walk. How sweet!
