hey tobias i had the same great experience like you in the line in copenhagen.
i was the german girl who gave eddie the handmade embroidered flag and i got a plectrum and 2 hugs from him. he spoke with me about my flag and what the dates are mean at the back and i told him that copenhagen was my 50th show. he was soooo nice and friendly.
one of the greatest moments in my life!!!

Great! We were in the line too. My bro, girlfriend and I. We were the last ones in line. We saw your flag, beautiful, and he showed it to us all and he was smiling and just being really genuine. I will never forget meeting Ed! :shock:

I too experienced the same thing in that same spot, but in 2007. That show at the Forum was the first return for the band since the Roskilde tragedy. The band had invited the families of the victims out as their guests for the show. There were only maybe 6-7 of us out getting to chat him and Mike down. He was super drained and spoke of the emotional night that it was, and how deep it was to hang out with the families backstage after the show. He was all hugs then too, and it was super cool. No plectrum giving then, but I did find one of his on the pavement about an hour earlier as the crew was packing up.

What's a plectrum? (a pic....ahhh, I see.)

And just in jest, the 1:17 mark here:

Ha, nice to meet you again!
It was great talking to him for a few minutes. Did he just jump into the van after finishing the line? I just had to leave, didn´t look back, couldn´t believe what had just happened....stunned

springtime · July 2012

don´t worry, i think he looks back to us with a smile before he was jumping in the van.

WhyNotSweden · July 2012

Yes, he waved and left with the van, he had his suitcase in it.

samjam · July 2012

Wow, what a beautiful story! Thanks for sharing, I bet you'll cherish that pick forever!! You just lived a dream of many of us on here, awesome!

LiLiNY81 · July 2012

I actually consider making a necklace of it, I would then always carry Eddies love with me. But can a 39 year old male have a EV pick necklace?

Hey, it's your pick and your memories, do what you want with it- if it's a necklace, so be it!

Did you buy a poster at the Copenhagen show? If so, maybe put that in the frame with the poster if you plan on framing it? That could be another option!
Last year after I got a pick from Mike at the Tres Mts. show I attended, I was thinking the same thing as you, making the pick a necklace, but then decided against it cuz that would involve poking some sort of hole in it...personally didn't want to do that, but that's just my opinion!

I do have the poster and it's going to be framed, I also meet Mike in Stockholm and he signed my Backspacer Cd cover, thinking of frame those together.

You had the same issue as I have now, do I really want to make a hole in the pick.....but it would be a great necklace.

That's neat! Don't think I would spend 40 bucks on that, but did find a similar, cheaper option. http://www.amazon.com/Pickbandz-Necklace-Silicone-Holder-Black/dp/B005IHD95I/ref=sr_1_2?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1342485443&sr=1-2&keywords=guitar+pick+necklace Hell, for 9 bucks I may buy it and see how it works out!

there are a couple of huge pearl jam fans on Etsy.com that make PJ related jewelry and do custom orders too. I've gotten some really nice silver pearl jam bracelets from one of our PJ friends on there. You could ask her to make you something to hold the pick so that you would not have to poke any holes in it. She'd probably jump at the opportunity....as she loves PJ as much as we do. Here's her site...you probably know who she is (Nicci) http://www.etsy.com/shop/ChunkyPunkyandDinky I'd go to her when it comes to PJ hand crafting.

and then there's this...the cheapest way i've seen to wear a pick http://www.etsy.com/listing/92884377/guitar-pick-wristband-by-pickbandz-pick?ref=sr_gallery_6&ga_search_query=pick+holder&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_search_type=all

or this: http://www.amazon.com/Pickbandz-Necklace-Silicone-Holder-Black/dp/B005IHD95I/ref=sr_1_2?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1342485443&sr=1-2&keywords=guitar+pick+necklace

can you tell i've been on the same search before?
