What's yours, aside from the Busa?
Mine is CONCERTS!
...it's not a cheap hobby, but it is my passion In fact, I think I'd be better off financially getting in to bikes/cars more
I've lost count of the number of shows I've seen, even who I've seen sometimes, but the list grows each year. The upstairs in my home has become a shrine to all of the music I love, from Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes to Marilyn Manson. Collections of vinyl from my Dad and posters from shows, countless ticket stubs, set lists, guitar picks and memories...when I go, whomever inherits this will either appreciate all of the work that's gone in to it, or hate me
The money spent on tickets, t-shirts, music, posters, trips, lyrical tattoos......I don't want to think about it. I don't regret a single moment. Music is where my disposable income goes. @MC MUSTANG even included a bit about my obsession in the wedding vows when he married @omslaw and I - it's a given that I'll most likely pass up nearly anything going on in my world for a concert
I haven't been to one in a while. A while - it's been nearly 2 months since seeing Elton John. That's too long; feeling nostalgic and I've been going through photos, of which there are thousands...
Sublime cover band, Badfish - one of my favorite shows to see! The guy in the background has given me their set list both times I've parked in front of him. I may or may not have a bit of a crush on him.......
Drove to Denver for 2 Foo Fighters shows; found out later Peyton Manning was at one of 'em and the Broncos are my team!
Flew to CA for this one - Chevy Metal (80's cover band with the drummer from the Foo Fighters, Taylor Hawkins). We had intel that Dave Grohl would be there, which is why we went. I'm on the right of the photo, hands on my head. To fly from VA to LAX and get front and center for that show was not easy.
My view while Taylor Hawkins warms up for his side project, Chevy Metal...
Drove to Nashville with 5 girlfriends for a Foo Fighters show. We'd all met in line for another show two years prior. We'd been in line since 5 a.m. to get on the rail, then drove to Memphis the next day, did it all again. I am the one holding a white phone...
Richmond Foo Fighters show about a year ago with my son towering over me to my left; he's an avid music fan as well, and after this show he walked away with Dave Grohl's guitar pick and we scored the bassist's picks as well (Pat Smear). My Goddaughter is on the other side of me; it was her first real concert. Line up for this spot began at 6 a.m.
Original drummer with Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" - Woody Woodmansey. I also met and have photos with Bowie's long-time producer, Tony Visconti. Saw them perform just after Bowie passed and they signed the set list from that night for me.
Leon Bridges after his show in Norfolk, VA - he's out of time, complete throwback to the likes of Sam Cooke...just amazing. Got my vinyl record signed.
This started out as "the music room" but the collection has spilled out in to much of the upstairs at this point. I have so many posters from shows and not enough walls.
