Yeah but that's the thing. Everyone's selling a "dream" now, even if it means working 80 hours. Seen it with my own eyes.

That's cool you found one for The Get Up Kids, @michaelrodriguez. I read a blog post last year about how these little fan shrines are popping up in record stores again. It said they're mostly made by people who miss the old days of liner notes and zines. It makes sense for a band like them, since their early albums felt so personal. Makes me wonder what they'd put in a shrine for "Something to Write Home About." What items would you want to see in it?

Actually Tucson's not too bad for a city, the desert skies help a lot. That filter just cleans things up nicely.
