The No Stupid Questions Thread

[MikeDeTiger]

Other than the standard and common photographs, I used to keep ticket stubs from concerts I went to.  I don't know if "treasure" is the right word, but when I see them I instantly recall the entire night and it makes me happy, so I like the effect they have on me maybe more than I actually like the thing itself.

I kept some for years and years but a few the ink simply vanished over time. 

I probably have a few , but I haven’t checked on them in 20 years or more. Maybe since we last moved in ‘03. 

Lollapslooza94, buzz fest 1995 among a few.

Yeah, most of them have faded quite a bit, but are still very legible, last I checked.

I had some from the 80s and 90s.  I kept better track of the t-shirts than I did the ticket stubs, I suppose.

Honestly, in the back of my mind, I was saving my t-shirts for my kids anyway and it makes me happy that my daughter loves them so much.  She's always been big on graphic tees anyway, but nothing new can be nearly as cool as an original from the event itself.

My kids have also stolen a couple of my old leather jackets that I saved for similar reasons.  Their styling is too youthful to really suit me anymore but I couldn't let go of them, and am delighted they now have new life.

I have a collection of vintage 80s and 90s concert t-shirts, not signed by anyone, but that I valued.

Of course my 18yo daughter has now managed to steal 93.9% of them. 

two daughters - all of mine are gone - most wouldn't fit anyway

odd the 1st time I saw my daughter wearing an old Clash shirt

I have a bunch of concert tickets and sporting event tickets

I wanted to press them in 2 large picture frames in somewhat chronological order.
I failed doing it myself and haven't made the effort to pay someone else to arrange it.
