Tom & I got to the mall & were walking in through Foley's. I had to go to the potty because I was excited. At that point my knees were weak & I felt sick to my stomach with nerves. I kept praying I wouldn't say or do anything stupid (like trip over my own feet & knock the man down). We get outside the store & we're waiting around (we were 30 minutes early). Finally he arrives & sits down to sign autographs. Gosh was I nervous. I can't even explain how nervous I was. The girl in front of me went up & I heard him say "Hi, I'm Ed." I turned to Tom & was like "Duh!". Then a reporter from some stupid little local paper jumped in line in front of me for a short interview (bastard). Finally it was my turn. I know I said something like "Hi. I've really admired the band since I lived in Harrisburg." He said "You're from Harrisburg?" I said "Yes" and that was pretty much it. I asked him to sign my poster & a picture & pose for a picture & he did.
When Tom & I left Tom said why didn't you tell him your name? I said "I didn't? OMG! Now he just knows me as the fat girl from Harrisburg!" Then Tom was talking about Ed's shoes & again, I was like "OMG! I didn't even look at his shoes!" Tom informed me that Ed said "Hi, I'm Ed" after you introduced yourself, which makes some sense.
Anyway, meeting him after the show, I again failed to introduce myself, but I know I told him "great show" and asked if I could have another picture with him, to which he replied "Thank you & Sure".
What a goober I am, but I don't think it's as bad as you, Tony! :) That's probably how I'd be if I ever met Madonna!!
