Has anyone met Eric? Gift ideas?

Does Eric like any candy or sweets? Does he like ballcaps?

...with a good cigar...though you may consider something local...whatever your area is well known for...good luck!

Thanks for your reply. Does Eric have a favorite cigar? I really don't know much about them.

A BOTTLE OF JACK!

I don't know if I can sneak a bottle in the arena. Any ideas are appreciated. Did anyone get a meet and greet for the 14th yet? I didn't hear anything yet.

I brought him tshirt with our state motto 'Live free or die' on it :)

Well, if you read his interview on RollingStone.com, here's a couple of gift certificates that would be good:
1) For a few loggers so he doesn't kill himself cutting down those trees with that chain saw!
2) Or better yet, your services while he's logging to wipe his brow and keep his sweet tea (or jd) cold!

Me, I'd go for the latter! ;-)

too funny Junkie!! i bet his management would appreciate that logging gift card!

Yes tjt3, I agree ... too funny Junkie! I don't know if I can afford gift certificate #1, but I could do #2 and I'd include fanning as well! But in interview EC said he found it therapeutic cutting down the trees.

He likes wine but that can be tricky getting in the venue. He does love cigars. Good Luck

But like was said, this isn't the old days of meeting Eric by the bus after a show. Hard to sneak a bottle in... the Best (and only) Eric Hug I ever got was when I gave him a bottle of Jack after a show at the Grizzly Rose in Denver ...'07 or '08. :)

Jack Daniels are idiots if they don't sponsor Eric! They sure get a lot of free advertising from him, they should be supplying him with all the Jack he wants! But I do have a few gift selections keeping with the Jack Daniels theme: How about a JD flask, lighter or Tipsy cake (one small slice will kick your ass! I found out the hard way!) And you can check out some antique stores for JD items.

good ideas all
