Red Mosquito

Through a friend we met Pete townshends daughter aminta . We told her we were basically fan boys and travelled all over the world watching pj, And ed solo, she told us when pj play UK ed stays round at her brother Simon s house. We were blown away and she said next time Email me and i will take you over there to meet ed he is lovely.
At this time we both were bouncing off the walls in our small village thinking fuck. Imagine going to Simon's house and ed is there. In the meantime we prayed for a uk date and my friend also Simon got a copy of petes book signed and it came through the post with 2 tickets with after party to the who . Mind blown. We went and sadly the after show wasn't with the band but we had a drink and a longer chat with aminta and she said again email when eds in town.
So . Simon was the contact and he was in charge of emailing her. He was very reluctant to look like a desparate dude. So ed announce that he was coming to play at the who 50 bash as shepards bush. I urged him to email and he did but sadly ed was flying in for 2 songs and flying straight back out. Luckily for me i was in the alley behind the venue when ed walked down to the stage door so i managed to meet him gey my programme signed and a couple of picks, after being a fan since 91 my life was complete. So we waited with anticipation of the next tour.
Ed announced he was supporting the who at Wembley we thought b.i.n.g.o we are in. So again we arranged an email that wasn't too beggy. And aminta said ive left backstage passes at the box office for you
Surely this was it.
We go get our passes and show them off to our friends that are also going we met a couple english celebs and thought we must be in here. So we watch the show amd we are now buzzing wanting the who to end so we can go back and see what happens.
So we get back and famous people are everywhere. We see ed dressing room with is body guard outside . Glen hansard walks in. We are told to move along. Can't stand here. So we move along out of the way. But we stay there for a long time had a photo with zak starkey. Nice. Thinking ed must walk by soon. We could hear ed and glen and others talking loudly but were not allowed near. Didn't think to cal aminta who as it turns out said after "oh you should have rang me i was next door with my dad i could have taken you in" ffs so close.
after they had all left we were still hanging around but they said ed had left. So we were very down. There was like a practice room you could just walk in and out. On the table was this lyric sheet and some setlists from previous pj shows. I think werchter and some un used tickets from the show cimp ones. So i picked it all up and took it home. Just found it all and thought how close we were so many times to a calm chat with ed but it was all brilliant and loved the buzz of the hunt kind of feeling. It was organic enough to not be bothering him of anyone. And im grateful by chance i walked past him at shepards bush at the right time. Right place.

This is probably the same dude that stole all Ed’s stuff from backstage back in ‘92.
