long story- won't go there... but I was forced to leave NY 8 years ago with nothing but the clothes on my back... had to leave at least 10 tapes of the rarest crap ever (at that time), 5 vinyls (including no code, not for you & more...) my SVT vhs, a good 20 cd's & who knows what else...
I still can't forgive or forget :mad:
This is incredible. I would freak if I found that notebook. I remember hearing something about a notebook Eddie lost a few years back. Doesn't sound like it was this one though.mickeyrat wrote:At my only show I was actually working for a temp service that was contracted to tear down/clean up the arena, by tear down I mean the GA seats and the venues stage after the gear was loaded.Anyway I weaseled my way to a seat saw an awsome show and after as We were cleaning on stage I found 3 picks(rats,gave 2 away) and Ed's little notebook he dropped. Inside was a bunch of cool shit. Title to Tremor Christ, setlist, note to not give Jeff any smoke or let him go to strip club. One line lyric said something to the effect of "Andy said 15 well I've been here an hour" couple doodles.also in dressing room was a 3-4 page letter from some woman from CHI., who didn't have a good opinion about herself (sad) pouring her heart out.
long story little longer , I kept(cherished) this thing for 10-11 years and ended up abandoning it in a crackhouse I was squatting in.have since got clean and sober, and somewhat kick myself for leaving it but more important I have a LIFE today.and I do have the memory of being that close .

I admire that you would make such a huge sacrifice for your own brother- now how freakin' awesome is that folks?!drsluggo wrote:I've got all you people beat... unfortunately.
About ten years ago I was a senior in HS and my brother was in college. He screwed up his loan app and didnt get it approved, so the college called and said it he didn't pay like $6K by the end of the month they were booting him out.
My parents had no means of getting it so we all pooled together and I sold a good chunk of my collection. Among the things that make me cry like a baby now:
Reeenk Roink CD
1998 Alpine/Chicago poster
APCD8 Jeremy CD promo
SOLAT promo CD
Black promo CD (the Dutch one)
Aussie promo interview cassette
Ten yellow digipack CD
Alive promo CD WITH front insert
There's more... it was a bad time. What can you do though - let him get booted from college?
Bleh...

Thanks for the offer - I ddi get the promo again although w/o the front insert... ironically enoguh I bought it for $3 at a record store w/ the insert. I think I sold it for $45? I saw it go a year ago for a ton more, of course that tends to happen with collectible crap, eh?Guitarhero27 wrote:Send me your address and I'll send you that Alive promo. Unfortunately it doesn't have the front insert, but it's the only thing on your list that I have 2 of.

I heard (have no clue if it's true) that one of the notebooks he lost, was given back to him....mickeyrat wrote:yeah I'd think from time to time about sending it back to him, but you know couldn't bring myself to do it.and i kinda doubt if this was the one you are talking about.the one i had wasn't a notebook per se more like a pocketsized graph book.each page was a tiny grid pattern less than an 1/8 inch square.
Maybe thats why he carries the suitcase!smallestoceans7982 wrote:I heard (have no clue if it's true) that one of the notebooks he lost, was given back to him....
He sure does lose a lot of crap
