Default Interesting Jovi memorabilia story that happened to me tonight.

Alright, so this has to be the strangest piece of Bon Jovi memorabilia I’ve come across, with an even stranger story of how I got it. I was in Manhattan, and tooling around the Colony music store. (For those who don’t know, The Colony is a legendary sheet music store on Broadway, that also sells all kinds of old records and concert memorabilia.) Now I always look for Jovi stuff in there, as they have an ample supply of tickets/passes/press stickers and etc., mainly from the KTF era, and I happened to notice this parking placard from the Giants show in ‘89. I didn’t intend on buying it, as it’s simply a piece of cardboard, but I was curious how much they wanted for it, so I had one of the workers remove it from the locked case for me. He looked it over, couldn’t find a price on it, and ushered me to the back of the register. There he told me that there was no price on it, but since it was slightly damaged, and he saw no value in it anyway I could keep it for free. He proceeded to wrap it in a newspaper let me take it. Still not exactly sure as to why, but it’s certainly a story I won’t forget.

Hmm . . . so why haven't we ever visited The Colony? If I can just remember it, now I'll have an answer when you ask what I want to see when I visit!

It really is mostly a big sheet music store - though there is lots of vinyl there too. I used to haunt the place for piano versions of songs back in the dark ages (you know - before the internet) LOL.

We can plan a trip while you're here this time. It's right on Broadway just north of Times Square.

Even their website is a bit old-timey LOL

I hate you right now just to let you know. Actually I am kidding. I was at that show and would have loved to have something like that. The Colony is a big store. I haven't been in a long time. Maybe a trip there at some point is in order.

Awesome - I'd frame it and hang it on the wall.

It's a great place Terri, even just to check out.
