A bunch of stuff but probably the thing that I think is the coolest isn't necessarily what others would select.
 
 A pair of cool shoes that I bought for $2 from a Shoegaze goddess. Guess only a true Shoegazer would appreciate that. lol. Oddly enough, Rachel* and I have since become friends and we even work together on the same radio station.

well, to each his own, right?  i mean some of my favorite concert things aren't exactly my favorites because they are things that i recieved from legendary musicians; they are my favorites because i have good stories behind them, and associate them with good memories.

Most definitely! I think that's partly what makes Rat Bastard's Dave Grohl t-shirt about the coolest thing listed on the thread even though I personally am not a fan of the music. At least in my opinion. There's such a great story with it.

Yeah...Will Sergeant from Echo & the Bunnymen once gave me his tie pin, which is actually the bunnyman off the "Rescue" single (I think). It's just a pin, but I still love the damn thing because it was such a nice gesture.

Not great but when I use to write for a fanzine in VA I did a lost w/end with Henry Rollins' Band.  I ended up mentioning that he was dating or doting over some girl who looked like Amy Grant who was with him the entire 4 days.  He got a hold of the mag and sent me a letter on like Marriott letterhead not finding the amusement in me printing that, even though it was like 2 sentences...I framed it  :) .

GG Allin wrote a letter to me and my friend once.  I should check with my friend to see if he still has it.  Very scary.

Tho the Armani suit that Julian wore to the GWARBQ would be a close second

I have a Miller lite bottle Bob Pollard drank at a Black Cat show.

It looks like any other bottle of Miller lite. Maybe I need to make a tag for it.

I have a picture of me passing Springsteen forward as he crowd surfs back to the stage.  The picture was taken by Obama's photographer, Peter Souza.  I saw the picture on instagram, contacted him, and he sent me a copy.
