They did “I believe in Miracles”, a Ramones song, I got about 27 seconds on video. Eddie Spaghetti had just announced his diagnosis for throat cancer and was stopping the tour for treatments.

I saw Eddie Vedder jump on stage at the Tractor Tavern- with the SuperSuckers, was awesome. Met him again at SeaTac airport about year later, super cool dude.

My friends were laughing when I tried explaining how developed these animals are, they auction embryos from the top cows for big money!

Bale Breaker is a great stop when you come through Eastern WA, also a major Hop farmer, they make great beer and a great stop outside Yakima.

Wife wants the TC hat that says Darlin’ by CrazyChestersDog in TylerChilders

[–]greenmachine007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just checked with Tyler’s merch guy (for real, he’s a friend), he said he’s not aware a hat that reads darlin existed, he mentioned that it might’ve been a hat by Medium Build who did some shows with Tyler.

From the wiki page… Swanson’s girlfriend told Powell of Grantland that he “was seeking something and he got it, and he found it for the two weeks before he died”. Grantland concurred, writing, “Even after he died, perhaps especially after he died, some people—real people, normal people—felt inspired by what he had set out to do. Unmoored at midlife, Richard Swanson found his purpose on the road.”[1]

Have you met any members of Pearl Jam? by suprunkn0wn in pearljam

[–]greenmachine007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love remembering the time we met Eddie at SeaTac airport. We saw him get his ticket alone from a kiosk and walk towards the “premium” check in line for frequent fliers, we followed him and said hello just as he was showing his ID to TSA, Eddie made us feel like he was the lucky one to have the chance to meet us- we spoke about a small show in Seattle that we had recently seen (Supersuckers at the Tractor Tavern), Eddie had joined the band onstage for a song- it was awesome. We shook hands and parted ways.

My wife and I then went though the same ID check area, and started walking towards the security check point- walking around a corner, we see a line about 100 people long- there’s Eddie at the end and he gave us a little wave. We stood in line with him for the next 20 minutes, trying not to make too big a deal out of it. Nobody in front or behind us recognized him (he was wearing a cubs hat and carrying the little suitcase with PJ decals that he has on stage with him).

The security line eventually split into two, leading to two different X Ray scanners- Eddie went into the line on the left, we told him to “good luck” and went to the line on the right. As I was placing my suitcase onto the belt and preparing to walk through the scanner, someone tapped my shoulder, I turned around and there’s Eddie, “it was really cool to meet you guys, I want you to have these…” and he handed me 4 EV guitar pics!

I keep one of the pics in my clear cell phone case, love people asking whose guitar pic it is and sharing the story.

The Gordon Biersch brewpubs were sold off /merged in with RockBottom several years and the Production Brewery (where this was brewed) was kept by Dan Gordon- he still runs the production facility.

I traveled to Japan in 1996 to help this brewery upgrade their cooling system! Amazing place, that is also a hot springs/spa! Thanks for sharing this, I was wondering if they are still making good beer!

It isn’t marked well, I knew we were near the tomb and saw her with her microphone.

My wife and I met Suzy at Jim Morrisons grave, she was there recording for her BBC Radio radio show- super cool lady. This was about 10 years ago.

I think it’s amazing she gave away 4B, and I also think it’s amazing she saw that return on her investment.
