I've been attempting to Fung Shui my apartment lately, so I've been moving things around, and I've been putting away winter coats and jackets. In one of the chairs in my kitchen where I throw stuff, there's a bag, and in the bag is one of my big CD cases I used to haul around in my car. Observe:

So, the case is fully loaded, mostly with CDs, but I did find a few movies I didn't realize I had stuck in there. It's sad that we as a society are seeing even the compact disc die out faster than it got here. All right, what you may notice about the case is there are a bunch of papers stuck in that mesh zipper part. Here's what. Whenever I would go to a concert or a movie, I would save all my stubs, which yeah, some of us do that, but I'm a little crazy over it. Most of the stubs you are about to see are from a little over ten years ago, and I wasn't even sure what was in there.

If you know me, you know I've seen Kid Rock in concert the most. This is was a rare gig in a couple of ways. First, Uncle Kracker, who of course is KR's best friend and he's a great solo artist himself, he performs a Thanksgiving night show every year in Mt. Clemens, which is a suburb of Detroit. Thus, this was the very first Thanksgiving I spent without my family. I was with two of my best friends and we had a Cracker Barrel turkey fest, complete with pumpkin pie! It also snowed while we were in the D; good times.

About a month before my Detroit trip, my sister and I went to Buzzfest in Nashville. The line-up included Saliva, Sevendust, ????, and super group Velvet Revolver, whom I would also see on my Detroit trip. I remember we waited around to see if Slash or someone from VR would pop out for a meet and greet, he didn't. But we found out later, if we had stayed about 30 more minutes, he did come out and greet fans. Oh well.

You may have to squint, but that ticket stub says "From Justin..." and yes, I went to the theater, alone, to see From Justin to Kelly. I'm sure when new mom Kelly Clarkson and 'American Idol' runner-up Justin Guarini look back on this, they both smack their heads. I did too, but I totally cheesed out and I had a great time watching it. Finally...

When I lived in Madisonville, one night I got to see a great local power pop band, London Calling. I mean, they were the real deal. And they became good friends I still keep in touch with to this day.

And just for good measure, here's a CD from the case:
