    5000+ pictures, a-hundred-and-some videos (includes some extremely obscure ones) over 80 articles and documents and stuff, I lost count of how many audio files. What do you guys think? :-D

    I guess it depends on if they're all of the same thing/person. In general, I'd say you're not obsessed.

    Not my middle name Sgt Tibbs as you know, I prefer the direct approach, "shock and awe" ;)

    Plus my all seeing crystal eyeball is damn good at predicting, pity its not good at picking the lottery numbers!

    Sounds like my collection!

    You need to be careful,I like to keep the obscure stuff on a small external drive connected to an explosive charge.

    thats why I have my Font collection (20k+) hooked up like that Rikky, as I'm a Fontaholic and proud of it.. but the fontpolice are ruthless in there quest to rid me of them. We have regular underground meetings where I whip out my new extra bold and thick UniversUltra for all to see :major

    Not sure anyone asked for the list ;) ;)


    But they are not all Tom Petty Vids are they by any chance? Dont make me post my Font collection list as it will get ugly!!! :p


    Collections are good and if this one makes you happy then all is good, you enjoy (not ment as a joke I really mean this line) as music is a great thing and while some artists are better than others, its a persons own taste that makes it enjoyable, I may not like some bands but I do like and savour others, I come from a musical city (Beatles came from here) and do listen or see loads of new bands perform at times, not a fan of the charts, more perfer new music artists these days and obscure ones at that.

    I dont know whats more obssessive: Having all these videos, or looking up all the dates. I once spent several months looking for a 10-minute clip.

    Have you ever met Tom Petty Aimee?

    We should all get a pot together and buy Aimee backstage passes to get it out of her system.
     
  35. Aimee Wilbury

    Aimee Wilbury Staff Sergeant

    No. Not a Heartbreaker either. Though i know people who have, I even know a guy who was in Mudcrutch (Petty's pre-Heartbreakers band).
     
  36. Aimee Wilbury

    Aimee Wilbury Staff Sergeant

    ooooh, the story? :)
     
  37. DavidGP

    DavidGP MajorGeeks Forum Administrator - Grand Pooh-Bah Staff Member

    Well have to own up I have met George Harrison and while not a Wilbury, Paul McCartney, even had a beer or three with Allan Williams the unoffical manager of the group many years back when I worked around the corner from the Cavern Club.
     
  38. Aimee Wilbury

    Aimee Wilbury Staff Sergeant

    Im also a Beatles fan, thats cool!

    Also: I nearly met a Heartbreaker, but didnt. Long story, its kind of fuzzy so I dont remember the details and even if I did i dont want to go into the details.

    Do buying shoes count as a collection? :innocent LOL
     
  40. DavidGP

    DavidGP MajorGeeks Forum Administrator - Grand Pooh-Bah Staff Member

    Will try and find a few if pics I have of backstage, it was a Wings tour I was at, as for the Beatles well it's close to home and can visit that area daily.
    yeah always... Shoes make the world go around, they are like a commodity, the Nasdec of Shoes, "Shoedec"
     
  41. dyamond

    Someone should buy stock with the way I buy shoes LOL

    Sgt. Tibbs Ultra Geek

    No story, really. I was working, he was on his way back to the dressing room after the show, we said "hi". My Brian Setzer story is better. :-D
     
  44. Aimee Wilbury

    Aimee Wilbury Staff Sergeant

    What were you working as?

    Did you run into a Heartbreaker?
     
  45. Sgt. Tibbs

    Sgt. Tibbs Ultra Geek

    I am a stagehand. I've run into just about everyone, as long as they're a band/whatever that typically plays a 10,000 seat arena (or smaller...we've got several clubs/venues around here where I work). :)
     
  46. Aimee Wilbury

    Aimee Wilbury Staff Sergeant

    At least 4-5 people that I know have met a Heartbreaker.
     
  47. Aimee Wilbury

    Aimee Wilbury Staff Sergeant

    I just got a hold of an entire movie for a Petty cameo that lasts less than half a minute.
     
  48. Aimee Wilbury

    Aimee Wilbury Staff Sergeant

    And the rest of the movie turned out to be not really good at all. I couldn't watch it all the way.
