** LOTTERY WINNER **

Floor. Row 1. Seat 18 (between Ed & Stone)

Still pinching myself if it was all but a dream that happened inside The Copps Coliseum that night. After another great Wishlist Foundation Pre Party, we went straight to pick up our 10club tickets. Little shaky at first but calm when I went straight up to the 10club booth. It was weird cause there was no line up when I picked up my tickets under the L's. Every other show on the tour I had to wait 5-10 minutes or so. Went up to the lovely lady and passed her my diver's license. She looked for my ticket for a few seconds. When she pulled it out she told me to sign the ticket casing. Then out of the blue she said "Congratulations, your in the front row!!!" My eyes were in a state of shock. I almost fainted. Bro went nuts. Few around us were clapping. Couldn't move for a few seconds. We headed straight to the merchandise table to pick up a poster. The clerk @ the booth said they were sold out and that 100 more will be back after the show. So we went straight to our seats to catch Mudhoney play. I was pretty weak when I walked all the way to the front of the floor. Telling myself "Is this really happening? Me? Front row seats to Pearl Jam? Between Ed & Stone? MAMA MIA!!!!!" Security lady grabbed my hand & added this funky wrist band on me then took us to our seats. When we got there there was only 2 other fan's up in the front row. We pretty much freaked out.

Mudhoney played another great set. Mark was always coming up to us above the front speakers. We meet 7 times on tour. Took a few cool pics of him back @ the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto (pics on my Facebook page). It was awesome!!! Then the magic began. PEARL JAM!!! Can tell you this there were many MANY eye wicks and happy stares from Ed that night that my soul pretty much lost it. Out of the 3 times he threw pics at me, the girl on the right got one of them, bro on the left got one, then later I got a Mike pic. Wish I had an empty drinking cup cause the guy 2 left's of me got some wine poured by Ed. The bottle though was passed around from Mike's side. Never got to go straight down to Stones side. D'oh! But it's all good!! From start to finish I pretty much lost it. Went nuts on Why Go & Habit and dance the hell out of myself all night. A night I'll never forget.

After the show The Rob came up to me and asked what I thought. I don't even remember what I said. I was pretty much lost with excitement. Couldn't think what to say cause it's something I've never experience before. Still trying to take in all that happiness inside.

Thank you so much Pearl Jam!!! That night coming home I pretty much cried my eyes out. It was my last Pearl Jam show of the year, maybe! After 5 amazing Wishlist Foundation Pre Parties & 5 amazing Pearl Jam shows, I didn't want it to end. But there always come an end to something so beautiful. Can't thank you enough.

Take care & see you next time,

Very good stuff indeed.

Highlight of the night for me was the tribute to Johnny Ramone.

I was fortunate enough to attend the Montreal, Ottawa and Hamilton concerts, and I loved every one. However, I have to say that Hamilton was my favorite of the three. As everyone has been saying, the energy level of the crowd and band were out of this world!! I know I had a smile on my face during the entire concert!

Highlights for me included "Immortality", "Nothingman", "Setting Forth", and "Crazy Mary". I was sitting in section 115, and watching Eddie running around, sharing wine, tossing out tambourines, and singing his heart out, was a real joy. However, the biggest highlight of the night was when Eddie talked about his close friendship with Johnny Ramone, and how today was the seven year anniversary of Johnny's death. When he played "I Remember You" and the crowd sang along, I had tears in my eyes. It was a very emotional moment, and I got the feeling Ed really appreciated his fans being together with him, as he was remembering his much loved friend.

Thank you PJ for three wonderful, wonderful concerts!! I can't wait til the next time I can do it all again! :thumbup:
