    (PS: If I had that boxing glove I'd knock myself out for reading this thread)

    I think it is pretty cool that one of your friends got the glove. It will make for good stories in the future. It would not serve you well to lose sleep over this. Eat, sleep, drink, and be merry!

    I'd be pissed.

    I scored a setlist at a concert for another band a few years ago. I was totally excited, but realized the person next to me came all the way to LA from Sweden for the show. I gave it to her. Not to be all about the glory of "me", but sometimes it just feels like karma to see that someone might have deserved (for lack of a better word) it more than I did. I feel better about myself for having done that and I now have a friend in Sweden. :D

    Another fan on the other side of me saw what had happened, and gave me a pic they had acquired that same night. What comes around, goes around.

    That's awesome! When it comes down to it, these "things" that we think are so meaningful, really aren't. It's the experiences of being at these shows, and how they make us feel is much more important than a "souvenir". They're only things. They can get lost, stolen or destroyed and it messes with our perspective. But no one can ever mess with our experiences or memories of incredible times. :)

    I was in front Wed but didn't get a pic, instead I enjoyed watching people dive bomb the floor frantically trying for one. I looked up and smiled at Mike and he was smiling back. That's more of a treasure for me than any pic would be. I guess I'm just trying to put things in perspective, here.

    Just tell him that he's got to let you punch HIM with it once. Just give him the old dead arm... I'm sure you'll feel better after that.

    Just kidding though. I can understand how you feel, however it will pass. Like someone else said, it will make for great stories. And even though you didn't get the glove yourself, it still happened the the collective you... you and your friend. You don't have the glove, but the story is just as much yours.

    Danny,

    Be happy for him. We'd all probably feel a little bummed, but be happy HE got it versus anyone else in the venue. Tell him "if you for any reason decide not to keep it, I'd love to have it".

    He caught it fair-and-square.

    Be happy for him. You wouldn't want him to be jealous of you if you caught it, right?

    :D

    agreed. I can understand feeling bummed about it though. it's okay though.

    I would stress to him that if he ever decides to get rid of it to let you have first shot at it though.

    good luck.
    Peace, Love.

    i'd scope out the situation, see how badly he really wants it...offer a trade maybe. but yeah in the end, don't be childish about it. maintain your dignity and maybe one day he'll just give it to you.

    i can see where you'd be miffed...but he is your friend dude! a good friend isn't worth losing over a fucking glove...no matter who wore it! it's just a glove.....it should be a symbol of your rocking good time with your buddy...not a symbol of your petty resentment....be happy for him!!

    Just ask him nicely and I am sure he will let you rub your face on it...
