I looked into the sake but something stopped me and I don’t remember what. It might’ve been at a time where I was spending too much money trying to chase FF around the 2nd half of 2021 and I guess I told myself to chill.
If anyone happens to have so many pairs of FF Vans that they’re willing to sell one I would pay extra to buy it from you
My stories. I have a shit ton. Most everything I took from a show has been given to other people. I gave a few Tay sticks away and that is sort of a bummer in retrospect.
I rarely asked the band for anything. I have a handful of pics, but very few. Just wanted to be present and never wanted to be a pain in the ass.
I have a shit ton of memories and friends, though. 😊
Last time I think I saw Dave, he walked with me with his arm around me for a good minute or two. I’ll never forget that for as long as I live. Ever. I was the luckiest person in the world that day.
It *was* my Reading '95 football-style shirt - not strictly Foo's but I bought it right after the mayhem of the Melody Maker tent. Got offered stupid money for it at every gig... then my dad binned it with a load of other priceless gig stuff when I wasn't home. Unforgivable.
Otherwise, besides the tickets/merch, it would be my LE blue vinyl This Is A Call and my Aug '95 Tank Girl comic with ad for the first album on the back; the button badge that Dave kicked off the stage to where I was standing at Wembley 2008 & the Storyteller booklet from my flukey front row seat last year. (I've no idea how to upload photos). Was always too shy to ask the band for anything - Dave saw me pinned at the ribs to the front barrier at Reading and made security pull me out, so I figured saving me from a collapsed lung at my first Foo's gig was more than enough. That and 27 years of amazing memories.
I had been trying to build up my singles collection but stopped a while ago due to funds. I got everything from OBO forward (although not in all formats), but I'm trying to pick up as much as I can. Just nice to occasionally pick one up when I see it.
My rarest would be the Have It All cd single with Darling Nikki. I know there's plenty of copies floating around, but it's just that bit rarer than the others.
I used to love buying Oasis singles back in the day when CDs were in their prime. Never really found myself owning Foo singles for some reason but seeing you guys talk about it warms my heart
@IamBec@wol I've shipped one of each sake to Cassandra because I'm visiting in August, but if you come across any spare sets with the cups I'd still be keen.
I found the Harvey Nicols webpage but when I went to add it to cart it refreshed to a brand page, and now anytime I try to access it I still get the brand page. 🤷♀️

Want me to see how much it is to post? It might not arrive until Xmas tho (with Brexit here n shit)
I'd totally pay it, but I'm not sure you can post alcohol?
Ahh true - I’ll look into it
A quick Google says as long as its under 1k its ok to post within Aus, but international is unclear.
I think it’s OK if it’s below 70% or something but obv taxes aren’t included
I'm willing to risk it if you can find any to send ☺️
I’ll go on a search and see if I can find it again!
I bought two sets so if you struggle to find it let me know

Harvey Nichols have it in the set...
Yeah that’s where I got mine but it’s not showing up anymore 😔
Hmm odd - I had that the other day where it wasn't showing but its reappeared since.
I messaged you the link that seems to work
Ahh thanks.
My unfinished singles collection (stopped buying after "The Pretender" I think).
I guess the rarest I own is the Next Year two-part Holland digipak

Thank you all, I appreciate the effort! I've been checking every few months and even contacted a specialty importer and still can't get it here 😔

Yeah me too, mainly CD singles, 1 or 2 7"'s, and the Exhausted single.
I can't remember if I ever got the Have it All one. I do remember prices spiked up with the Prince drama.

I miss physical singles, I have so many random ones, in cds and 7". I wish people still did them.
@IamBec @wol I've shipped one of each sake to Cassandra because I'm visiting in August, but if you come across any spare sets with the cups I'd still be keen.
They're still available in the store over here in the UK, I keep hoping the price will drop a bit but it's unlikely to do so...
£169 so approx. $300AUD at the moment.

Ah fair enough, strange. I did have that for a day when I couldn't find it, but it reappeared. Couldn't work out why though.

Also...the ticket from the Geelong show.
I thought I’d thrown out my grubby wrist band, but the gremlin found it on the weekend.
