Title: Most prized Goo possession?
Post by sympathy_0 on Jan 22^nd, 2010, 1:34am

I don't really own anything that rare from the Goo's, but I do have a few things that I have had for awhile that hold a lot of value.

First is my Gutterflower necklace. I can't even remember when I got it. My mother got it for me at some point when I was about 13 or 14 (I am now 18, 19 soon!) and I have had it ever since. I loved that thing for so long, and wore it proudly everyday for 2-3 years. Eventually I did stop wearing it for some reason.

I lost it for a year or two, and was very sad to see it had gone missing. About two years ago though, I found it when I was cleaning out my dresser. I never did start wearing it again, but I have always had it (hanging on my left bedpost, as I said in another thread).

Some other things I own that have sentiment are

1) The poster I made when I saw the goo's for the first time in Halifax. It said "I love Polish Buns" which me and my friend though was a clever thing to write after seeing the Polish sausage sign. John laughed at it and made a comment during "Name" when we were in the front row. We made eye contact, I nearly died. I also had this moment with Robby while he was basically playing bass to me, I can't even remember what sort of faces I must have been making at him, but he was laughing at me and doing faces back, it probably looked like I was having a stroke.

2) Other things from the show - a tshirt I got, the ticket from the show, my "costume" (me and my friend dressed up in goo themed colors), a guitar pic that my friend caught which she made into a necklace.

So thats my big story. :)

My most prized Goo possession is a vintage SSCW t-shirt signed by John, Robby and Mike. A dear friend gave it to me since she knew SSCW was my favorite album. I will treasure that shirt forever ... even if it's 2-3 sizes too big ;D

I have other t-shirts and various picks and album flats but nothing compares to the SSCW shirt.

Aside from bootlegs/interviews/video, I'm not huge on collecting GGD related possessions. That being said, there have always been 3 items I wanted to have. I currently have two of them.

1. An original red cover cd pressing of the first album

2. The promo SSCW wax

I'm not identifying the third item until I have it and I kind of doubt I will ever get it.

Well now since you won't tell me I just have to know ;)

How could I forget about all the b-sides and bootlegs. Those are pretty awesome too.

Yes! Love those. Thank god for torrents. I downloaded this torrent that was supposedly an entire discography plus some "rare" things. It was missing usually a few songs from all the albums, but there was some rare versions of songs that I have never heard before, so it was cool.

mine would be a fender guitar that was signed by the guys. They signed it twice because they had a black marker and it was a black guitar, so they signed the white pick guard instead.... then they realized that the pick guard had a tear off plastic wrap on it so it wouldn't get scratched, so they got a gold marker and signed the body of the guitar!

the other would be a sealed vinyl of their first album, the red cover one!

I remember when you got that guitar signed. I'm pretty sure you posted all about it here. I remember how excited you were. What year was that?

Seems a bit extreme but when I was in Canada I got the Gutterflower logo tattooed on my back below my neck. Symbolises a good year in my life and that's how I'll remember it...
