Well, that's one of the sweetest stories I've ever read of meetings on the pit... Not only you meeting him, but the connection made! Sweet how he had you "brought" before him so you would follow through with your pledge
That is a great encounter, welcomed on all levels which makes it sincere. Good for you and great photos

that is f@cking awesome. i believe the band is in Atl recording at Brendon Obrien studio. They speak of that at all?
Btw..not to be weirdo...Mike looks great in that pic. Very vibrant.
yes. they are at brendans studio.. my wife met one of the guys who did the music for the film and he told her they were there.. mike also mentioned being in atlanta recording..
Sorry for the ignorance, but what was the function/shindig and just how many of your next of kin did you pledge to this?
it was for the Atlanta Film Festival for Howard Zinn's documentary. Luckily I didnt have to pledge any next of kin although there are a few I wouldnt mind pledging!!! Basically, it was a charity event and because I gave a certain amount to the charity I was able to get the hookup. It was worth every cent..
I bet it has to be wierd for Ed to wonder what kind of crazy is out there wanting to meet him for a donation, but when he gets to see a real fan and real person and actually connect on any level, it has to be inspiring on so many levels. It is so awesome that the connection was made as FAMILY. Gotta be such a great feeling to understand each others most valued possesions.
Could you imagine how phony it would be to meet some wanker that is so enamoured with himself and his material possesions? Whereas Mr Vedder understands that a personal encounter has more Karma than a Ferrari.

Awesome!!!
Yes. I think Ed thought I was crazy. THat is probably why he pointed at me and started laughing when he first saw me. I cant picture Bono doing something like this. Ed was very calm and very cool. He even let us take 2 pictures because in the first one I looked like a moron!! I liked how he said he had tears in his eyes when his daughter sang. Mike was amazing. I think that their kids are the same age as mine helps a little bit in conversation.. definitely did with Mike.. How many other people in Mike's shoes would take out their iphone and show 2 strangers a picture of their kid?
