Ticket Stub Of The Day Jan.22nd (Tommy Chong)
Today's ticket stub is from the first time I saw Tommy Chong of Cheech and Chong fame do his stand up comedy set. This show was in 1992 at Yuk Yuk's Comedy Club in Edmonton. I went to this show with Sherry. It was a great show with a lot of laughs, before the show there were more then a few people outside burning some doobies. Good times!!!

Concert Shirt/Poster Of The Day Jan.21st (Willie Nelson)
Today's t-shirt is from the second time I saw Willie Nelson in concert. This show was in 2007 at Rexall Place in Edmonton. I went to this show with Hurl, and once again I had excellent seats for the concert and Willie put on one hell of a show. Willie was touring for his Countryman album which was a reggae influenced album.
I like this shirt for the big pot leaf on the front. Willie has never been afraid to show his support for the sweet leaf.

KISS Collectible Of The Day Jan.20th
Today's KISS Collectible is a 1987 KISS Calendar. It was published by Culture Shock, from the small print on the front, I am thinking it was a European printed calendar.
Here are a few samples from the calendar.

Ticket Stub Of The Day Jan.20th (Ace Frehley and Peter Criss)
Today's ticket stub is from the Ace Frehley and Peter Criss concert that my brother and I went to in 1995 at The Thunderdome in Edmonton. For anyone who doesn't know, I'm not sure who that would be, cause this should be common knowledge, Peter and Ace were the drummer and guitar player in the original line up of KISS. This concert was billed as The Bad Boys Of KISS, as both members had been kicked out of the band at one time or another.
When this show was announced my brother and I were both super excited about it, neither one of us had ever seen Peter or Ace live before. My bro and I being huge KISS fans couldn't wait for this show. The show was awesome with Peter Criss opening with his band, doing some KISS classics and then Ace playing after Peter. Ace was excellent as well, playing some of his Frehley's Comet stuff and of course some KISS classics as well. Then for the encore Peter came out and played drums with Ace and doing more KISS classics, a very fun evening of music.
A year later, the original KISS line up got back together and did a reunion tour.
Checkout the advertisement for the show. Could they have fucked it up anymore. The misspelling of both Ace (Ace Fishley) and Peter (Peter Giss) I mean come on, that's pathetic.

Concert Shirt/Poster Of The Day Jan.19th (Strapping Young Lad, Misery Signals)
Today's t-shirt is from the Strapping Young Lad concert my cousin and I went to in 2005 at The Starlite Room in Edmonton. The t-shirt I bought at this show was from one of the opening bands whom was Misery Signals. This was my first time seeing Strapping Young Lad live, and wow, were they ever good. Lead singer Devin Townsend is fucking freak, very talented on the guitar and very entertaining as well.
On the way in to this show, my cousin and I were waiting in the line up in the long hall up to the venue when we saw a guy getting kicked out. I'm not sure what he had done, but the bouncers kicked him out then one of them proceeded to punch him in the face, bouncing his melon off the brick wall, it was ugly and not sure if I will ever get the sound of his nose breaking and the thud of the back of his head hitting the brick wall, if that wasn't enough, the bouncer then kicked his ass all the way down to the street, ugly it was. And this happened before things really got going, this was during the first bands set.
Cuz and I looked at each other like wow, what are we walking in to this evening, it was a rowdy crowd but thankfully that was the only bad incident we saw that night.
This t-shirt pretty much sums up the Edmonton Oilers season. Not sure how Misery Signals got away with using this logo, but kudos to them for pulling it off.

Ticket Stub Of The Day Jan.18th (Tragically Hip)
Today's ticket stub is from my third time seeing the Tragically Hip in concert. This show was in 1993 at Clarke Stadium in Edmonton and was the first edition of the Another Roadside Attraction Festival that The Hip used to put on.
This edition of the festivals line up was Midnight Oil, Hothouse Flowers, Daniel Lanois and Crash Vegas. As usual The Hip put on an amazing show and I also really enjoyed Midnight Oil.
