Shoutout to Generous Ottawa fan!

I never post but had to give a shout-out to the gentleman who gave my son a concert poster at the end of the night. We were waiting for the crowds to die down before we left. My 9 year old had just attended his first PJ show and had a blast. It was such a perfect night and then this wonderful man stopped to ask my son if he was “new here” and handed him a brand new poster from the night! We were both stunned and overwhelmed with such generosity and thoughtfulness. 
I hope you see this and know what an impact you had! My son couldn’t stop talking about it and was even talking about how he’s going to do the same thing for kids when he’s older. 
I had told him before the concert how Pearl Jam fans are the best and he’d already agreed with me before this happened because everyone was so friendly and upbeat with him, I know he’s never going to forget this night. 
Thank you and keep on rocking!

    This is good to hear.  I saw and felt a lot of generosity these first two Quebec and Ottawa shows.  A girl in Quebec loved my PJ Boston hat I love.  She kept asking me how much for it.  I said I can't give it up.  Ultimately gave it to her (she did buy me a beer full disclosure ;) ).  It's a hard part but just stuff.  Making others happy is a great feeling.   Be thankful.
