I am a natural collector but my compulsion has been limited by lack of space where I’ve lived. My books and records take a larger portion of my living space than they should but there’s still a limit (thankfully i guess). My favorite beastie stuff will always have pride of place. And there will always be evidence of my beastie past in my office even when it doesn’t fit in.
I travelled to my beasties shows before I had a camera phone and I was stubborn about not wanting to travel with a camera, maybe because my dad spent all our holidays behind a camera? I’m not talking about filming during shows, I’m still mostly opposed to that, But now I wish I had some photos of random things that surrounded my trips. Glad I have a good memory. I’m so thankful for beastie fans I met who passed the time w me in lines and helped me out w tickets etc. There’s another band I’ve followed around the US here and there and it’s great but different. Of course I’m even older now so there’s that.
