Great story! I hope someday that I'm lucky enough for something like this to happen to me.

I was at the game too and attended friday and thursday show. I had a feeling he was going to be there! great story!!! i tried for a pick friday night...no luck, but got a hand shake!!
I want to point out that Ed was really just like any one of us. I felt comfortable in my brief conversation with him. He talked as if anybody you met for the first time would. I saw a Super Bowl. I've been to BCS Bowl games. I've seen tons of concerts. I hung out with Yogi B at a Notre Dame football game. The "Rocket" from Notre Dame babysat me when I was younger (Were from the same home town, Wilkes Barre PA.). I was in recovery with an actor. All of these things I am greatful for. When I was in my teens, my ultimate dream was to meet anyone from Pearl Jam as they were my idols. I liked them more than any sports team, actor etc... They influenced me a lot in my late teens. It was very exciting to meet him and I'm glad that you all are happy for me. But remember one thing "I shit and I stink, I'm real, join the club...."

HaHa! I love this post. I was at the game and would have loved to see him. I'm glad you got to shake his hand. It was really nice of him to give you the pick.
I was sitting next to Buddy Guy at a bar once and asked if he had a pick. He said "If you ever ask a guitarist for a pick and he doesn't have one be weary". He then pulled a handful of picks out of his pocket.

The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill

hopefully he'll show up to the jays/boston game the night before the toronto show
