I still like the collectibles at concerts. Now they even have undies.

Always a T-shirt, always...

I bought a thong on a cruise that said "Come aboard!"

I don't like "stuff," so I usually just pay for a ticket and a drink or two. After that, I'm generally broke anyhow these days.

The last three years, I would say that the must-buy souvenir is keychains, and even those prices are crazy. The most I paid was either $15 or $20 for The Police keychain and I really wasn't going to buy it, but I wanted something and that was near the cheapest item. I don't buy t-shirts anymore, too expensive and the quality is always horrible, especially the baby tees that shrink even more. I bought a couple of programs over the years, but now I'm over that phase. Those prices are ridiculous as well. It's all about the keychains or nothing at all.

I don't wear tee-shirts, so I try to come away with something small or a program.

No. Springsteen's merch is almost always cheesy and Norm MacDonald doesn't sell anything. Even if they did have cool shit, I'm trying to pare down my possessions, not accumulate more!

...Although I'd probably be tempted by a Norm shirt, if it were a good cut, in black and had a cool graphic.

a t sometimes, only if it's one I like. I like getting pins, I'll eventually get a strip of fabric or something to pin them on and hang it in my office. When I get one.

When I went to Stevie Wonder with my fam we all got a shirt!

I always buy a shirt.

come aboard what??

your face?

Last concert I went to I got 2 shirts!

I haven't seen "pins" being sold in a long time. They had headbands but I didn't see pins. That sounds eighties!

No, I bought a "Only the Good Die Young" pin at Billy Joel last year.

normally buy the Program just so i have something to look at and remember

Programs used to be the most important thing item for me.

I always bought a T shirt when I was young. There was a bag phase for a minute there a handful of years ago and I had a Cure bag and a White Stripes bag. I have one hoodie.

These days I might buy a T-shirt but it had better be a band I really love and really darn cute cause I don't really wear T shirts.

I'm a little sad I've thrown a bunch out over the years (as I just had way too many and I stopped wearing them). But I still have some left from as far back as high school that aren't wearable as they're falling apart but I can't bear to throw them out. One of these days I am planning to make a quilt out of all of my old rock-n-roll tees.
