Ephemera collected at the 8/9/16 Alice Cooper concert in Huntsville, AL: one of the giant confetti-filled balloons (with bonus shred of confetti!) which exploded and landed in a seat in front of me, A long blue streamer that fell from the ceiling during the finale, and one of the paper signs from the front doors suggesting people take on the monumental challenge of putting their phones away for *two whole hours* (of course, no one did. I spent more than a couple moments watching the concert through phone screens directly blocking my line of sight). I grabbed the sign pretty hastily and tore a corner because I am a clumsy spazz.
I also got a patch. I wanted to buy more, but I was afraid the merch guy would get pissed if I tried to pay for anything more with $20 in rolled quarters. All in all, it was really great. And it was on my birthday! Alice Cooper playing in my own town (where hardly anyone "big" I care about ever plays) on my birthday is some serious cosmic shit. Even better, I sat in the wrong section. I had no idea, but then the person who's seat I was in arrived and the usher told me I was a whole section up, so I ended up really close to the stage.

Haha, glad you like it. I love stupid mementos like these. I am trying to think of some cool way I can frame/shadowbox all this junk without it looking like trash in a frame. No such luck! I will post that if I ever do, though.

Good idea stealing the sign! Hahaha cool shit dude. Alice's stage shows are out of control.

They really are. It was easily one of the most extravagant stage shows I've ever seen, second only to Gwar, maybe. Gwar were definitely the messiest.
