QUA1L

I've posted my storage room before, but we had some storm damage this spring, so I've spent the better part of the summer and fall remodeling our basement and have since moved my records to a different room.  I've left some open spaces on the walls for stuff I still need to get framed.  Every poster except the Mastodon and Metallica from 1986 are from shows I've been to.

It's irritating to the say the least.  It's a waste of everbody's time. It's the one reason I wish eBay still allowed negative feedback to be left from sellers to the buyers. 

Reorganized a bit.  I have some signed gig flyers and art prints I need to put up still so it doesn't look like I only go and see Sleep
 

 

 

 
The flyers you can't really see in the third pic....

 
All of my CD's are hidden in the closet.

Not a bad day yesterday.
 

Discogs is terrible for that.  I especially love, "sealed copy, can not confirm color" but they list it under the rarest version and ask double the going rate

I have a patch on my jacket that says "D.F.F.L.".  I tagged the band Dopethrone in it.  The guitarist/vocalist ended up messaging me asking where I got it.  I told him it was a 1 off but I could have one made for him.  I ended up getting 3 made (1 for each member of the band).  As a thank you I got a signed CD from them.  After that, I talked to the drummer a bit.  He mentioned he collected records.  I happened to ask if there was anything he was looking for.  Just so happened I had doubles of a couple.  I ended up just sending them to him for free.  He asked for my address so he could send me a thank you gift.  When I got it, I opened it to find a test press to their album Dark Foil from Totem Cat Records.  #3 out of 5.  I was beyond stoked.

Thank you very much and yes sir.  I flew over to the UK for Desertfest this year.  They were touring the UK and their last stop on that tour was Desertfest.  They headlined The Underworld on Sunday. The massive print above it is the print for Desertfest 2013.  The stuff below is a photo from the show (Im in the 2nd row, not sure who took the photo, but thanks!) flyer from their UK tour, bracelet for my 3 day pass, and my train ticket from Guildford to London on the first day of shows.  Kind of crazy the first time I saw Bongripper was in London considering they are from Chicago and Im from Des Moines, IA.  haha.  Off to see them again in a couple of weeks.  This time I'll actually see them in Chicago.  The poster on top of my Expedit on the left is the Sunday poster from Desertfest.  Belzebong, Toner Low, Conan, Bongripper, Cough, and a few others.  It was one hell of a day. 
 
Same kind of stuff for the Baroness and Sleep prints to the right.  ticket stubs, photos, set lists, flyers, etc... Whatever I had from attending those shows.  The Sleep show in LA was rolled into my honeymoon.  Im lucky I have an understanding wife.  haha
 

Reorganized my room.  I have about 6 or 7 more prints/posters to get framed. 
 

 
Ignore the floor supports.  I have a massive aquarium upstairs. 

 

 
Hid the CD's in the closet
