A bunch of stuff but probably the thing that I think is the coolest isn't necessarily what others would select.

A pair of cool shoes that I bought for $2 from a Shoegaze goddess. Guess only a true Shoegazer would appreciate that. lol. Oddly enough, Rachel* and I have since become friends and we even work together on the same radio station.

*Rachel Goldstar/Staggs from Experimental Aircraft, Eau Claire with Jessica Baliff, owner of Rollerderby Records, formerly of The Black Angles, and now currently in London finishing up an album with Monster Movie which is Christian Savil's (formerly of Slowdive) band.

well, to each his own, right? i mean some of my favorite concert things aren't exactly my favorites because they are things that i recieved from legendary musicians; they are my favorites because i have good stories behind them, and associate them with good memories.

Most definitely! I think that's partly what makes Rat Bastard's Dave Grohl t-shirt about the coolest thing listed on the thread even though I personally am not a fan of the music. At least in my opinion. There's such a great story with it.

Yeah…Will Sergeant from Echo & the Bunnymen once gave me his tie pin, which is actually the bunnyman off the "Rescue" single (I think). It's just a pin, but I still love the damn thing because it was such a nice gesture.

Not great but when I use to write for a fanzine in VA I did a lost w/end with Henry Rollins' Band. I ended up mentioning that he was dating or doting over some girl who looked like Amy Grant who was with him the entire 4 days. He got a hold of the mag and sent me a letter on like Marriott letterhead not finding the amusement in me printing that, even though it was like 2 sentences…I framed it :) .

GG Allin wrote a letter to me and my friend once. I should check with my friend to see if he still has it. Very scary.

I have a Miller lite bottle Bob Pollard drank at a Black Cat show.

It looks like any other bottle of Miller lite. Maybe I need to make a tag for it.

I have a picture of me passing Springsteen forward as he crowd surfs back to the stage.  The picture was taken by Obama's photographer, Peter Souza.  I saw the picture on instagram, contacted him, and he sent me a copy.
