    I think it had something to do with him going to Europe and saying he, “was embarrassed to be an American.” Or something to that effect...either way he’s no longer of concern, as far as I am concerned....

    I never got into the poster thing.  I know someone who did and bought hundreds (no idea how many) of them thinking he would put his daughter through college by eventually selling them, I guess.  Unfortunately, he passed away suddenly on a trip to see PJ in Hawaii.  Left his wife and daughter with them all over the house.  I have no idea what ever happened to them.  I miss him.  I still somewhat keep in touch with his wife but never asked what she did with all those posters.  His daughter did go to college and is a UCONN grad.  So this story ends well.  
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    Oh and Ed never said that???  Pretty sure he has.

    I have one of these (Hartford).

    I have the poster for every PJ (12) and EV (2) show I've been to, in addition to a whole bunch of other posters for other shows seen.

    Down to 45 posters.  Sold about 170 or so over the years.  When I started looking at collecting more about will this poster gain in value or not rather than collecting because I loved collecting, I decided it was time to move on.

    Stuff all for me.
    EV Dublin 2017
    PJ Amsterdam 2 2014
    PJ Boston 2018
    Soundgarden Berlin 2012

    I gave my Stockholm 2012 to a friend who went with me. Can't justify any more save maybe a Tool one from Auckland next month. Though my missus is quite ok with an Alex Grey print in the yoga room she wants, so that could count.

    One EV from Düsseldorf 19. it was too beautiful to pass up on. It’s highly likely to remain the only one

    28 PJ & 3 EV posters at the moment (2 from shows I didn’t attend thanks to Mystery boxes that happen to be cool prints as I have passed on the other posters from shows I haven’t attended: 2016 Boston The Catch and 2018 Seattle Faile DB Cooper Dog).  14 framed, 3 getting framed now, 1 needs repair for a small tear...rest in a holding pattern for their turn.  2 show prints ISO (2011 PJ20 Ames & Klausen) and no hurry given long framing backlog.
