Hard to believe it was a year ago - I was number 5 in line (yes I had the official sharpie numbering on my hand)
I missed out on merchandise at GCF and MSG and wasn't missing out on my home town PJ Sox merch.
met some great people in line - true fans and collectors- some great stories
set the tone for the two shows and made me forget about merchandise lines for the rest of the week
tons of merchandise available and it was great to see all the flippers getting stuck with merchandise for a change.
Anyway great morning leading up to two great nights thanks 10 club and PJ for 2 epic shows that I thought would never ever happen at Fenway

Fenway last year was the time of my life.
I snuck out mid show for a drink from the 8th row center, and they were reloading the catch and I grabbed one after chasing it all day. I didnt get into the city until 3pm the day of the show.

Best weekend ever....met so many cool people, but best of all got the chance of a lifetime opportunity to work the first show with a friend who does marketing/promotions for local Boston venues. Met some amazing folks behind the scenes!

"...I changed by not changing at all..."
I remember they said no lining up before 8:00
I was there way before that and when I came around the corner there are already people standing there.
Someone inside was sending us out pictures of the posters
When we saw the catch we all started freaking out
8/29/00 - Tweeter Center............5/24/06 - Banknorth Garden............5/17/10 - Banknorth Garden.............08/05/16 - Fenway Park
7/11/03 - Tweeter Center............5/25/06 - Banknorth Garden............6/16/11 - Wang Theatre (EV)............08/07/16 - Fenway Park
9/28/04 - Fleet Center................6/30/08 - Tweeter Center
I did find a Catch poster months later as a trade was made with a great forum member, a two-for-one deal, that saw me let go a Moline AP poster. I don't love baseball, but I feel that particular poster is such a fitting reminder of a great weekend.
Good times
It's a cool print and all, but in my opinion, the Green Monster and baseball >>>> a skeleton driving a tractor.
Marvet value be damned.
Thread integrity: I stopped by the merch shop on my lunch break, and there was no line at all. Bought a koozie.
