Pics Where Eddie Looks Hot - Part 2

You guys should get prepared so that you don't squander the chance if you really do ever get a chance to speak with him! Me, I know exactly what I want to say to him, and will definitely not miss the chance to say it if I ever run into him somehow!
However, I've been to Seattle probably 20 times, and not even any sightings from a distance. :( Maybe I'll bump in to him in Missoula!

How would you approach Ed and introduce yourself? I wonder how many fans approach him everyday too...

in an odd way, we fascinate HIM as much as he
fascinates us!

I'm sure of this. It can absolutely be seen and felt from everything he says and every move he makes on stage.
And another amazing thing about their shows is the amount of mutual respect between the crowd and the guys. Like nothing I've ever experienced before.

I find his gaze dominating. Which is completely
unsettling because I want to study him back, but
know I can't!

Yes. And this nervousness you mentioned and shyness... Ed found a way to get rid of it. Hopefully we will too, heh...

This too. Beside the fact that I would die or faint I 'm not sure I would want to bother him in the street.

In Stockholm I had a little present for the boys I wanted to throw on the stage, but when I saw that all kinds of stuff was flying in their direction all the time I thought oh fuck it, they don't need another one. I feel the same about the approaches. He probably doesn't really need another person asking him the same questions for the billionth time, and in his personal/free time.

of course, even though he's a regular guy, meeting and talking to him would be a highlight of my life, so maybe not THAT regular.

I think that if people bother him while he's doing something like eating or is in the middle of a conversation or something, that,s one thing. So totally rude to approach him if he's in the middle of something or trying to just have some private time. But I would think that if he's just standing around or in line or standing next to you somewhere, he not only wouldn't mind, but would be happy to chat to with fan assuming they're being normal and not al weird and freaked out, whicb might be awkward. I mean, I never thought of him as such a snob (or as having such little ego) as to not want to share a few friendly words with a fan! I think he respects us a hit more than that! And I've heard many accounts of how open and awesome he is when fans have met him.
Also, that's why you need to think of something good to talk to him about - so that you're not saying the same shit as a billion other people have (I.e. your music has gotten me through some tough times. Or thank you for your music, blah blah).

Ok so Iprobably shouldn't admitt this, but
Like I said earlier, I am extremely energy sensitive.
I honestly believe this comes from a combination
of a abusive past, and thirty years of working with
animals, who communicate entirely through energy,
and very little through close contact verbalization.
So if I ever ended up approaching Mr. Vedder it would
probably make him laugh... Because my innate instinct
on approaching any animal would be the least
Threatening way possible which is come in facing side, and
from around them, side to front... Can you just
imagine how stupid I'd look?? Cause while a dog or horse
insist due respect of their space from this approach
a human expects you to go the opposite, face them and
hold eye contact.. So basically I think I'd be more
confused than anything, and just keep my distance!!!
I think I'd look alittle less like a moron that way!!

Maybe just keep in mind that he's human if you see him, and you just might do okay!
I just know I'd regret not talking to him if I had any reasonable and polite opportunity.

From everything I heard and read about him, you are completely right. Some time ago I read about some people wanting to talk to him in a baseball game. He told them he would like to watch the game and would come to see them later. So in the halftime (is there even such a thing in baseball? ) he went to find them, and as they weren't in their seats he actually waited for them to return so he could fulfill his promise. So, yes, you must be right when you say that he pretty much always finds the time for chatting and is really kind to the fans and is happy to do it too.

Still, I don't think I would do that. I can't really explain why. It is just a problem I have, I guess. I would somehow always have a feeling I was intruding or something. Although he is very open and sweet he must have days when he just doesn't want to talk to anybody. And it has nothing to do with ego or snobbishness - everybody feels like that sometimes. And I would just want to avoid the chance I was bothering him on a day like that. That's all. Don't know, maybe I'm weird.

And maybe I would feel completely differently if I actually found myself standing next to him, waiting in a line at the airport.
