If you have some kind of neurosis, you probably have done something strange for the band. I've handed out many actual, purchased copies of the bands' material over the years. Recently, I donated the whole studio album catalog to Selby Library here in Sarasota, Florida. What's the craziest thing you've done in your fandom?

Peace,

In 2003 I had just gotten back from Iraq, and we were supposed to stay in town as we may be sent back for another 45 day mission. I flew to Vegas to see them and then flew back (to Pennsylvania) before anyone knew I was gone! :peace:

5 weeks is plenty of time. It would have been crazy if you did it the next day.

Went to the midnight sale to get Riot Act. It was way past my bedtime!

That's awesome.

I think that something like that can be incredible to do alone or with others. Was that for the 2000 Europe tour?
