my short story/pics with Ed and Mike..
http://s622.photobucket.com/albums/tt30 ... tnight.jpg
make long story short got to meet Ed, Mike and Jeff in Atl last thurs. Met Mike walking around with everybody else. He was VERY cool. Told him we named our daughter Juliana Pearl. As soon as we told him we had kids he opened up a lot. Showed us a pic of his daughter holding a guitar. Told us something else personal that may or may not be known on this board so I dont think it would be my business to tell. good news though! Anyways, finally got to meet Ed. Was taken thru back halls where it was just him, Jeff, Josh Brolin and maybe one or two others. I really cant remember. As soon as I walked down the hall Ed pointed at me and started laughing and said "is this the guy you were telling me about?!" (Basically I told the guy running the festival I would give the donation but only if I could meet Ed. He "guaranteed" he would set something up )My wife and I told Ed about Juliana Pearl so he, Mike and Jeff all signed an 8x10 we had of the band "to Juliana, with love". We told him how our kids loved their music and asked for it before they went to sleep. He made some comment about kids and music. Not really sure. I was thinking to myself "holy shit, I am staring at Eddie Vedder and he is 112 inches away from me"He said he had tears in his eyes when he heard his daughter sing. He was trying to sing the song to himself, saying it was some Yoko Ono song. He asked Jeff but he had no idea. My wife told him she wrote down a youtube video link of our daughter singing daughter. Unfortunately she gave it to Mike earlier in the night. He said he would give to Ed. Ed told my wife he would check it out. (dont expect that to happen). I asked him to play All those yesterdays in Atl but dont think he will remember. Anyways, I am not into the celebrity thing but if there was one person I wanted to meet it was him. It was a great experience and have a picture with him and a great 8x10 signed to my daughter by 3 of the band members!!

Why not (V) (°,,,,°) (V) ?
yes I am :-) After seeing how this all played out I realized how hard it is to get a pic with Eddie in a private area. He wanted NO part of the reception before or after. Mike was walking around with about 100 other people. I think he got lost to be honest. He was hounded so I can only imagine what would have happened to Eddie. Mike took it all in good stride tho..
Heading to Southern Tracks - just up the street from where I live.
Congrats on the pics and meeting Ed.
