Rich friends are always such benefits. When they invite you to a party they're hosting, best believe it's going to be quite the event. It'll have the best food, the best drinks, and most of all, the best live performers. One of my best friends is a rich guy. One of his parties that I had the privilege to have attended had a great band: Pearl Jam!
Not to sound shallow or anything, it was Pearl Jam that really got me excited to go to the party. My friend knew that and he didn't take it against me. He knows I love him and consider him as my own brother. But when it comes to Pearl Jam, nobody comes close! The band got me through my toughest times. It got me through an awful breakup with a girl I was with for almost a decade. It got me through my dad's death. And it got me through my having been fired from my first job. I don't have the best life ever, but I do have Pearl Jam to comfort me.
Knowing I was going to be in the same party as my favorite band ever, I prepared myself. I bought a few Pearl Jam posters hoping they'd sign them during the party. I also talked to my friend before the big day arrived. I confessed to him that I might make a fool of myself in front of Pearl Jam, but that I hope he'd forgive me for it considering how much the band means to me. Like a true friend, he not only allowed me to approach them, he even told me he'd introduce me to them himself.
On the big day, my buddy kept his word. After what was a great set of what was some of my favorite songs of theirs, my friend led me to Pearl Jam. At risk of sounding extremely selfish, I even felt that their performance was for me, seeing as most of what they performed were my absolute favorites. But my buddy loves them too, so I knew that formed their set just for him.
Sweating like a pig about to get roasted, I finally got introduced to them. We chatted for a bit and I confessed to them how much they meant to me. And you know what? Their response absolutely blew me away! They said that they love the fact that they've had such an impact on my life. That, at the end of the day, that's why they make music. To have that effect on fans similarly to me.
After hearing that, I reached out and asked for their autographs. Tears were filling up my eyes as I saw them write their names on my posters. It was the best day! I know it was my buddy's party, but I think I had the most fun that night! And my friend would certainly agree to that!
Please note: Our inventory is limited as we may have only received a few posters in total. Most of our items are obtained from film premieres, studios, and from autographed hounds such as the one in the story above.
