He stopped to say hi. I think that guy made him feel uncomfortable.

He made me uncomfortable, and I wasn't even there.

Well that about soms it up.
In Dutch you have a saying that you say when watching someone do something really embarrassing. You say you feel the shame the other person apparently didn't and probable should have felt. This is the case here.
I'm sure not saying I'd be all cool and selfcomposed. If I would ever get to talk to him I reckon it better be half an hour at least, because I would need that time to remind myself what all these questions were that I wanted to ask. This however just seems tooooo highscholgirlish. Or perhaps it is even too much for them.

Oh my

He handled it far better than I would have. Yikes.

Hi Lyn :-h
I got to meet Ed too...In Jacksonville back in 2012.
He apologized for postponing the original shows,
and thanked us for coming to the rescheduled dates.
He said he just wanted to walk down the line & shake hands
with those that were there and he wasn't going to sign anything or take pictures with anyone.
The people that were there were very respectful...
no outburst or people yelling at him!!
:-bd

Had to be night one. Because I was there night 2 and he bolted right after the show. Something about his wife and kids being in Orlando or some lame excuse like that! I kid. He waved at us and got on the bus.

You are CORRECT...
It was after the first show!!
I was originally planning on doing the 2 Vegas shows & the Phoenix show,
BUT when the tour was postponed I ended up just being able to do the 2 Jacksonville shows!

Embarrassing.

Can't imagine that you would be worse than THAT guy Amy...
I could see you being speechless, but not a blubbering idiot!!

I meant it as being Ed. Generally when I meet someone like Ed, I'm a bit more quiet and try to be respectful. If I were Ed, I don't know that I would have been able to keep my mouth shut that well. That's not his first weird fan and I'm sure not his last.

You know where I work and when the artist/owner of my lovely land o' employment is out amongst the crowd, they treat him like he is just the biggest deal ever. I've worked for him for over 13 years. I kind of chuckle when they are all in awe. "Yes, well, he signs my paycheck and walks me to my car sometimes, too."

Though it isn't truly possible for him to be just that regular guy, Ed and the guys just want to be those guys. Frankly, I couldn't imagine living a life where every single place you go, a trail of people would follow you. I know it is a part of what they do, but it would creep me out and I'm quite sure that I'd never get used to it.
