as a person who spent about 6 years as an archivist, I'll tell you why no one takes the time to bundle stuff and save it. Takes too much time and there is no roi.

hence, deletion of almost-mentioned 6 year old 80 hour week archive.

I'm almost past being bitter about it.

Two summers ago I was shooting an especially packed hardcore show on an especially hot and humid night at a venue that lacked A/C or venitilation. When I left I not only smelled of my own sweat, but also of the crusties’ sweat. Gross! Since I had to attend another event immediately afterwards, I stopped by the pharmacy and picked up some Florida Water and doused myself with it. I bet I smelled like your neighbor! I prefer “Agua Colonia” but I can’t find it locally so I just stick with “Heno de Pravia”. Man, if “Maja” made “Maja Water”, I would be in scent heaven!

Our old lady neighbor was also a widow with 1000 smells and she scared me and I loved her, too.

good post. i agree with john about trash/treasure, when i see this sort of thing, i always wonder why someone couldn’t take the time to bundle the stuff up and take it to goodwill or vincent de paul. there, someone else’s life might be enriched by finding these things.

Really dug this post, sir. It kills me what people think is trash and what they consider treasure. That Jolson stuff was amazing. Thanks for showing and telling. More please.
