    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.

    AHHHH...
    I did misunderstand what you were saying!!!

    I still maintain that if I ever saw him on the street somewhere I'd probably run away!! I'm horrible with people in general, but I'm terribly weird too, so I'd be terrified if embarrassing myself. So I'd just run away.. It's be like a scene from Monty Python..
    I'll be walking somewhere, doing some normal shit somewhere, see him and run the other direction.. And knowing my luck, I'll be wearing a PJ shirt!!
    Anyhow..

    Everyone thinks they know how they would act when they meet their idol but many are wrong.

    Lol Whispering Hands! Maybe you should plan a "what I'll say if I meet Eddie Vedder" script now, just in case? Then you don't have to run away!.... But FYI, yeah, it can be mortifying. I met Jeff Ament and made an ass of myself, and I'm still not really over it, hahahaha. :P

    I met ed three separate times and acted very calm,cool and collected. I drank beers with jeff after a three fish show and talked about snowboarding and music for about 15 minutes.
