Well, one time we took a family trip to St Louis. My dad and I drove around to places looking for stuff. (He thinks my hobby is neat and tries to keep an eye out for stuff when he and my mom go places, but he's not 100% up on what's collectible vs. what's crap.) So anyway, he's driving, I'm navigating, with a street map that's so tiny it's hard to read, and the next thing we know, we're cruising through several blocks with boarded-up buildings, newspapers on the windows, etc. Two dorky-ass white guys, cruising in broad daylight through the St Louis ghetto! B-) IIRC he cut a couple of red lights close to get out of there.
And I certainly never expected to get into the whole background of how game packaging is printed, etc, but had some exposure to that courtesy of Eyal Katz. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 15, 2004 1:59 PM Subject: [SWCollect] What 'Path' are you currently on? > > > I find it fascinating that our hobby takes us down many different paths, far and away from software collecting. Sometimes they've taken us deep into unknown territory, hunting for that possible elusive copy, and we get a bit of culture with our favorite dish. Sometimes they're good, and sometimes they're bad (See C.E. Forman's 'Detroit Suck City' review on his website), but they take us to places and ideas that we never would've ventured otherwise. I'm currently involved in a few Museum projects that are showing me new people, places, things, and ideas that I NEVER would've seen before. My latest project is showing me Hollywood special effects, taxidermy, and window display personnel-all on behalf of my gaming obsession! I'll surprise you all with pictures this week as the project 'gels', but I just wanted to ask if everyone else on the boards has as much fun with these diversions as I do? > > OPEN FORUM TIME: > What unusual paths has your gaming obsession taken you to? > > > ".Preserving Worlds." > Joe Garrity > Curator of The Origin Museum > http:// > > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to > the swcollect mailing list.
