Went to see the Knitters last night (John Doe, Exene, and DJ from X.) Walked in the Tractor Tavern in Ballard (SEA), and Jeff was standing at the bar, which was cool.

Half way through the Knitters set John called up Eddie for "The New World", he sang his parts and then danced with Exene for a good part of the song. He then ran off stage right behind me and up the bar for a Corona. At that point I took a bathroom break and ran right into him saying "Nice work, Eddie" which is all I could muster in passing, he gave me a head node.

Later during the show I took another bathroom break and found myself urinating right next to him, but I didn't say anything because there was a line and since he was in full costume (Big hat, thick glasses, puffy coat)trying not to bring attention to himself, I left him alone.

I walked out and Mike was standing near the water cooler talking to some folks, Eddie gave him a hug and they talked about hanging out after the show.

I lost my fiance for a bit after that but finally found her standing shoulder to shoulder with him, we rocked out next to him for the encore, he was jumping up and down, loving every minute of the Knitters. My story is not that exciting, but that'll probaly be the closest I get to Ed, so it was a great night. Not to mention Jeff, Mike, John, Exene, DJ all in the same room as well.

It was cool, everyone left him alone, only saw one fan ask for a picture.

It was an awesome Inaguration day...life is good!

    "oh, you got Ed's autograph? well I saw his wang... top that."

    Good story, but probably a good thing you did not strike up a conversation when pissing next to him with a line behind you. I hate when people do that, get in and get out.

    This is going to become a legend! How many people can say "I peed next to eddie"? I like to pee alone but that would be an honor but I woulnd't shake his hand afterward!

    Really cool...Plus I think you are cool for not going crazy or bugging him for an autograph or picture. Just the fact that you were rocking out with him is all you need. Plus, the urinating thing is kick-ass funny! Love it! :lol:

    This was my first thought, since Jeff was in town.
