146: Give It Away Now
This weekend I'm taking on the daunting task of totally emptying out my old room at my parents' house. Seems they have plans for that space and they don't include housing all of my precious cargo. Harumph. So much like that one remodeling show I saw that one day on that one channel sometime, I need to make 4 piles of stuff.
First pile: Stuff to sell. Easy to send. Things of apparent worth that I have no use for any more. Expect ebay to explode very soon.
Second pile: Stuff to give away. Specifically old clothes and stereo components. Wires and adaptors and extension cords. Right to a Salvation Army. People could use this stuff.
Third pile: Stuff to throw away. Garbage that no one would ever want.
Fourth pile: Stuff to keep. Old important photos, mementos, etc.
But I have this idea. I always come up with these messed up schemes and by the end, i'm sick of em and looking to start new ones. But this is interesting. During the month of October, I will give something away every day. It might be good. It might be bad. It might be the worst idea i've ever had. But by November 1, i'll have 31 less items in my room to worry about. It just makes me giddy.
I'm going to open it up to the Threadless community as well. I have only 2 days to think about this. Better get cracking.

Sounds interesting. Anything you wanna trade for my Fender BAnjo?
I'm trying to collect old computer keyboards and walkmen, both cassette and CD.
Got any of those?
im down on pretty much anything, i kind of collect, maybe an old old old double tour photo or a book.
Why not set up an online garage sale and make a few extra bucks ???
How do we participate?
to anonymous: i think he was doing that with the ebay pile. giving things away can be fun! it feels good to make someone's day. have fun bob!
I love your idea. But now I want something, and so does everyone else. The difference? I better get something. Way to go Bob.
your brattiest friend,

give me the polaroid collection
Dear Mr Nanna, we need more City on Film tracks. The Mountain Goats have now over taken you on my last.fm page, and although I do really enjoy John and his music I do in part feel it is due to the fact that the back catalogue of his music is large. Is there any chance of a new release, or new tracks on compilations coming? I have my fingers crossed (and I'm sure there are more that feel the same way).
How's the sorting going?
come back to california
anybody know the chords to "farenheit 911"?
