Ed's fan club, Who's signed up? Options

[dangum]

Just wanted to get a general idea of who has signed up to Ed's fan club?

Just so you know, your paid membership extends the date of the initial free membership.
i.e. If your free membership expires in December 2010, if you sign up for a paid membership then the date will be extended to December 2011 (at least it did in my case)

Despite posting comments in previous months knocking Ed and his fanclub I did actually sign up for the free membership. I know - I'm a shallow, shallow man. Havent downloaded my free mp3's yet though, or indeed done anything else with it.
Anyone gonna admit to the $75 membership? For a few quid more they could have got a phone-call!

I didn't. However, I do know two who did sign up for the $50 membership. They wanted a chance for the meet & greet pass, which they received badges for an aftershow meet & greet. Unfortunately, they never actually got to meet Ed. It was a large event due to a radio station sponsoring the event and there were people at the meet & greet from the radio, too. They had been told to sit at their table until Ed got to their area. Somehow Ed missed their table and left the area before they could meet him. So, in a sense, they paid $50 each to see Ed closeup, but never got their cd signed or a handshake or anything. Maybe if they had a "hot chick" at the table?

I admit, from what they said, it was very poorly organized by the radio station and the venue. However, I would recommend to anyone who does sign up thinking they will get the meet and greet pass, be aggressive (politely) in making sure that you get your chance to meet Ed. If he misses your area, see if you can find a way to get to where he is, or you'll miss out. Keep in mind security and being respectful of Ed, but don't end up like these two. They had been really hyped about meeting Ed and were very disappointed at how things turned out.

On a good note, however, they did meet Adam. He came into the meet & greet area and stopped at a few fan tables. He made it to their table and he spent about ten minutes talking with these two guys. They said he was very nice. Talked with them about his solo project, his touring with Live and with Ed. He even talked to one of the guys about his music career as he is a drummer and songwriter. He autographed both of their cd's. They said he was very down-to-earth and they really enjoyed spending time with him.
