Don't exactly have anything to "show" but I've got something to tell I've been in college for a month now and I've join nearly all of my schools ensembles including both choirs, orchestra, and jazz improv playing bass in both. I have my first concert for orchestra this Friday and I've got a little bit of jitters. Im playing the upright bass for 2 songs and its still an instrument that's a little new to me and then my Jackson bass for 1 song. Just kind of wanted to share and see what some of you do before a performance and help cool you down.

I have varied interests besides music and guitars. My guitar collection has doubled since the beginning of the year. But I also collect several other things. I used to collect sports cards and memorabilia. I still have my collection, but none of it is displayed. I may pull out a few of my prized possessions and display them, but I'm quickly running out of space. Here are some of the things currently on display in my office (or studio, or mancave... take your pick). Funko POPs -- currently limited to Funko POP Rocks! and Vegas Golden Knights figurines. I have a few more Iron Maiden POPs to get, some of them are a bit hard to find. I need two or three more to finish GnR, Ozzy, and AC/DC, and quite a few to finish Queen and KISS. I haven't started on the Hendrix line. I'm not sure if I will, due to space limitations. I think I have all the VGK figurines currently available, including the team's mascot, Chance. I initially planned to collect the Star Wars, Marvel, and GoT figurines, but there are just way too many of them -- I'm planning to sell or trade the few I have. I have a collection of POP keychains, mostly Marvel, with a few Star Wars and Incredibles items included, but I'm no longer actively collecting these. Some other things I collect are watches (especially pocket watches), resin pyramids, resin dragons, Tarot and Oracle cards, rocks, minerals, and crystals (my BS degree is in Geology), and Iron Maiden night lights (have many still to buy). I need a bigger office. So, tell me... besides guitars, stompboxes/pedals, what do you collect? Include photos if you can.
