Writer's Block: Collector's piece
Apr. 18th, 2010 08:57 am[Error: unknown template qotd]
I collect music and matchbooks. While music tends to be more on the practical side of collecting (there are VERY FEW items of music I have that aren't for actually listening to), matchbooks are something I love to collect for the sake of seeing the variety and styles used. While I certainly have matchbooks that have sentimental value, because it is becoming far less common to find new matchbooks at restaurants and bars...I'm to the point that I'll take any matchbook from anywhere. While it is hard to pick my favorite matchbook, for the sake of only mentioning one that is particularly unique, I am proud of the Marine One* matchbooks I have from when my dad caught a flight.
* Marine One is that ugly green helicopter you see the president hop into on the White House lawn to take him to Edwards AFB (to get on Air Force One) or other locations around D.C.
