That Box Set was signed over the course of a few shows.hydro wrote:fucking bad ass Mike!!! love the box set!!! and you got Perrys wine bottle!!!!!!!!
so rad dude!!!!!!
It's actually the one you didn't take when we met up in Columbus.
Perk was the first to sign it in Indiana.
Yep I got his bottle
Quick little story on how I ended up with it.
I've been asked here and have seen folks ask elsewhere "what kind of wine is it?"
After Saturday's show I was chatting with Perry and asked him about it.
I was fairly certain what the answer was before I asked.
Either I'd read it or heard it in an interview.
Bottom line is it's not any certain wine.
He just told me he likes a good red.
So I asked him if there was any way I could get the empty bottle after the show the next day? (this show / the 14th)
He said sure and when I saw him before the show I reminded him and he said no problem.
Once the show was over Ian and I headed backstage and hungout.
I didn't see Perry or Etty and figured I was out of luck when security told us we'd have to leave.
We had passes and had OK to be back there but the security at this venue were very strict.
Not wanting to cause any sort of problem we reluctantly vaccated the venue.
We decided to head around back because I really wanted to thank the band for everything and say goodbye.
We were waiting around with a dozen or two other folks when Eric and Dave came out.
I had a chance to thank them both for everything and it wasn't much later when Perry and Etty came out.
By now I'd already figured the wine bottle was a lost cause so to speak but there it was in Perry's hand.
When he handed it to me I was like holy shit it's 3/4 full!
I thanked him for remembering it and for everything he'd done for me at the shows I attended.
Here's where the fun started.
The bottle was already open and I didn't want to get in trouble for having an open container.
However there was no freaking way I was going to dump it!
Well it was a long walk back to where I'd parked and I figured I'd figure out what to do with it by the time I got there.
Around this time I met Anna and she was curious about the wine and we began chatting.
She told me it would go good with steak.
I told her I wasn't hungry but I was going to get the bottle back to the hotel some how.
Before I know it we're swigging it in the parking lot.
We chatted a good long time but there was still 1/2 a bottle left when I was ready to go.
Necessity being the Mother of invention once back at the car I found a plastic pop bottle cap that I slapped onto the wine bottle.
Bingo problem solved.
Once I got back to the hotel I started playing around on the PC in the lobby.
I of course was drinking the wine.
What the hell right?
It's good wine, the boy had gone to bed, and I didn't have to drive anymore.
Well it was about this time that the night clerk noticed me and told me I needed to find a glass.
I was like no problem you have any idea where I might find one?
Now equiped with a throw-away plastic coffee cup I was able to kick back and enjoy the rest of it.
I drank the last of it in my room while listening to my recording of the show.
You know what?
Anna was right it was some good wine.
WOW! WTG Ian!! Maybe a possible future career in photography??? They were rly good shots!! I feel your battery pain. Ours started to die in Columbus about 1/2 way thru the show - so we had to limit what we were photographing. Thankfully it hung in there for my 1/2 ass vid. of Jane Says. lol (Note to self - always bring back up batteries! hehe) Can't wait to see your other pics.
