Random thread: Where's your postcount now, (tpd) bitch

[Aaron]

Congrats! Its good everything went well!

[chimera]

Oh my goodness what an ordeal!  But I'm so happy for you both, congratulations!

Stay in the hospital as long as you can.

See, I felt the opposite.  They made me stay a week and I just wanted to go home and get on with it.  My milk wasn't coming down, I was exhausted because I had a child with a completely nocturnal schedule, had to have a stupid IV, was hobbling around from the C-section, post-partum meltdown (because my MIL would come every day and just sit and stare at me and I wasn't up to chit-chat), argh.

CONGRATS, DOKKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, we finally got home today and it's really better.  Becky's worried it'll be hard but I think we'll be ok, more or less.  There's a lot of help available in Canada.

Quick question, since I couldn't seem to find relevant thread in Music section:

How much would do you reckon hardcore collectors would pay for memorabilia from the TDS and NIN/Bowie tours (i.e., original setlist drafts, tour intinerary maps, stage passes, etc.)? They're all in great shape and have been kept boxed in storage since 1997, so it's practically undamaged.

Thanks in advance for your help x

It really depends on whether the core fanbase has enough disposable income in this economy, I would think.  But at the very least, say $500 for certain items, right?  Especially if the provenance is fairly direct.

[threatsicle]

Wouldn't know, that's why I'm asking, lol!

The tour intinerary maps have everything from which venues they played to what hotels they stayed at (if any). It's actually pretty detailed and has little diary NINcamp stories about some of the stops.

It's silly that he might want to part ways with it, but guess he likes to know the option.



Addendum: Although, I'm thinking, since he had to sign a NDA, it probably wouldn't be sellable? But the setlists would be.
They had to print most of those on the go via one of the first Apple inkjet printers made by Canon that fit in their crewbags -- SO DETAILED, haha

[chimera]

Those generally do fetch a good price, I saw one from a Floyd tour go for over two grand.

[threatsicle]

Wow! But that's Pink Floyd, as opposed to NIN...
Maybe he could hang on to these things for a couple more decades and see what it's worth then, lol

There's 2cm of snow on the road everyone panic!

Seriously I person called in snow, another person tried but agreed to come in after I had a mini meltdown about being the only staff member here all day. I left house at the usual time and had time to stop at the bank and get a coffee on the way people

[boom]

We finally had snow that lasted more than 24 hours and of course it was during the 2 weeks I'm by myself since Theo is on a business trip. I can't leave the kids alone in the house long enough to shovel my driveway so I have to park in the street since I can't make it up to the house without spinning out. It's supposed to snow again tomorrow and friday and I live on a plow line so I can't park in the street after it snows. So, basically, I'm screwed. 

[Goose]

boom, I know that problem all too well.  With my wife working night shifts, if it snows, it might be several days before there's enough co-ordination between us so that I can actually plow a path in and out of the house.

The only thing I've been able to figure out is to wait until the kid's asleep, jam a battery-powered baby monitor in my pocket, and shovel at night.  Sucks balls (especially after a long day of work and midget-wrangling), but its the only way I can avoid getting nasty letters from the postal service.

I have found that you can pay the kids around here 5 bucks or so to shovel your driveway.  Child labor owns.

[rokken like dokken]

I always knew deep down you had the mentality of a Dickens villain

[Goose]

I've learned that around here you do not feed the local wildlife.  Get one to shovel your walk once, and they don't stop coming back until you start throwing hobos at them.
