Eddie Vedder Plays West Seattle Monday & Tuesday!!

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003741807

Tickets to the gigs at Kenyon Hall were sold for $5 by Easy Street Records, with less than 150 people on hand each night. A number of fans who lined up outside the venue but were initially unable to get inside were treated to coffee by the Easy Street staff, before being ushered in gratis after the show had started.

That was us, baby!!!!

I wonder if einat made it...does anyone know?

I found it really sweet and heartwarming that you thought of me. Yes, it was unimaginable luck that I even heard about this. I was just shutting down my office laptop and getting ready to go 'home' (don't really have a home) and rest from the day when I saw equalyworthless's message on my MSN, he picked something up on RM, and asked me about it.

Then, I hystericaly (as always with me) called Easy Street (knew nothing) and the venue (no answer) grabbed my stuff and hopped on a bus to West Seattle, where I began running around from Easy Street (Sweet owner - Matt, said "no more tickets") to some junction (Rockford, Sennin and Jamaniac picked me up weeping on the rainy street corner and calmed me down...). Got to venue, met Animal (finally!) and Robbie (cool to meet you!) and waited in the cold, door closes, listened and sang along outside, got hot coffee (thanks Easy Street again!) got offered cream (?), told about posters, and AAAHHHH - let in to the show (Walk in quietly!).

Eddie on a stool.

Bliss.

Sweet dreams in the night. I do get lucky from time to time.

:eek: Oh Snap, Animal! Good for you! It's not the Mega Millions but that is pretty lucky and pretty awesome!
PS-the Mega is up to $113 mil! get a ticket, this is your lucky week!! Yay for you!

any pics lucky ones?

I have been following this thread and I am soooo stupid and i've been kicking myself and banging my head on the table!

I ordered some items last week from Easy Street Records from their online store (which is awesome by the way!) and I got a confirmation email with a message in it about a Into The Wild event.

If I only would of followed my gut instinct and raced down there as fast as my crappy truck would of got me there to beat the closing time of 9pm.

Oh well, I am glad that a bunch of Message Pit members were able to get into the show and share their awesome stories with us!!

I am proud to be a Message Pit Member and a long time Ten Club Member!

Brings back memories of a show at The Showbox that was a special show on September 24, 2004. There were no actual "tickets" for the show and people would show up and flash their IDs and were let in.

A bunch of people were out front waiting to get in but with no luck. I kept telling the people around me that they would let us in. They will let us in! Trust me, they will let us in!!! People started thinking that I was working for the Showbox or something. I just let them know that I had positive attitude and I knew I was going to be let in.

A bunch of people left calling me crazy and I even told a group of girls that I would buy them dinner if they didn't let us in so they stuck around.

Well sure enough right before they took stage they let us in....... hehe We had to make a donation of $20.00 and give our name/address but it was WELL WORTH IT!

I never had to buy them dinner but I got 4 awesome hugs out of it! Ahhh.... memories!

Eddie, i'll see you in Vancouver! Thank you Ten Club for the tickets!!

HURRY UP NEXT WEEKEND!!!! Holy shit! Is it really that soon???! *screams* This tour is such a dream! What a way to kick it off.

CONGRATS again Seattle!
*bows down*

VEDHEAD27, do you know that I'm SO looking forward to your fanviews on eV's solo shows in GTF forum??? You have a way of coloring your experiences in 3D! I love your energy!

I agree that it was a mind-blowing experience for those lucky attendees!!!

But yeah, I would love to see some pictures!

I imagine there weren't... since there were few people and I imagine they would get that look from others if they tried to take pictures?

*pulls out cell phone to take pictures*

*heads turning closer, giving glare looks*

*gulps, puts cell phone back in pocket*

I bet Kerensa was there, taking pictures.... anyone wants to email her and ask her to put 'em up??

Um, I know this is lame...but I'm glad eV grew back his beard.
