Sunday, September 25th, 2005[Entry 392]that's one more time around...
File this in the stupidity file...
I went to Merriweather (Columbia, Maryland) in 98. I got a poster at every 98 show I went to. Back in 2000 or something, my mom won a contest to go see Ben Harper at a local bar for some radio station promo. I thought, "Well since I saw him at Merriweather and I have the poster, I'll have him sign it." (I also had him sign one of Doerr's PJ posters (E. Rutherford 98 I think) and some extra Ben Harper poster for friends. Anyway, he drew a flower on mine and wrote my name on it. Fine and dandy.
Well. Today I find out that poster is worth, no less than, FOUR HUNDRED and fucking FIFTY dollars!!! Fuck! I don't even like how it looks! I would totally sell it... but it has my stupid NAME on it! What in the fucking world was I thinking?!?
"Isn't that awesome! Ben Harper signed my Columbia poster!"
Grumble. Do you know how much $450 would help me right now?!? AHHHHHH! Not even stupid East Troy/Chicago 98 is worth that much!
The other poster I have that's worth a lot? Raleigh 98. Yeah, the one I bent a couple of years ago taking it out of storage. And I didn't even attend Raleigh 98 so it has no value to me.
Besides that whole thing...I kind of got a lot accomplished this weekend. Moved A LOT of stuff. All my school mementos and shit. I'm feeling the pain today, though. My calves and lower back hurt. That's probably combined pain from moving furniture, too. I finished burning the rest of the Canadian shows, too. I was sorta indifferent about the Pearl Jam shows being downloadable...I definitely prefer to buy them manufactured for me. But I have to admit, it's pretty fucking cool to be able to listen to a show you went to within 12-15 hours. Even with the downsides, it's still rad.
I really need to find a place to get my hair cut. Though I have no idea what in the hell I want to do with it. I just know it's too long. Needs to be chopperooed.
