Hey all you OCDers |
You know who you are. Did you ever take notes in the dark at shows? Were you an in-show critic? While cleaning your closet, have you ever found little napkins with semi-incoherent writing on it? Have you ever had to explain this compulsion to loved ones or family members?

NO, but I have used confiscated nitrous balloons from the little ones the morning after.
I think.

The answer's no for me, but that's really funny.

Re: Hey all you OCDers |
I found some old setlists that I had made at two shows---the handwriting elegantly depicts the degradation of coherency more accurately than my semi-coherent memory could ever hope to resuscitate.
I also found a ticket stub from ATL when I went as a tag-along. For years, I had thought I went to a '90 spring show only to realize that it was an '89 show I had seen.
I am always amazed at those who have seen many shows who can keep them straight. (Of course, if you went to a hundred shows in the '80's and hated everyone of them for being a waste of time, it's probably much easier than I imagine.)
SO, who has the most setlists from shows they attended?

No, no, yes, and yes.
I didn't, and I didn't, BUT my little sister did...however, years later she gave all her set-lists to me, and I discovered them years later in my closet.
Truth. I tossed them.

Re: Hey all you OCDers |
Yes, yes, yes and no. I often wrote down set lists as they were happening, as I knew I wouldn't be able to count on my fuzzy short-term memory. I'd put stars by the highlights, but I'd rarely write down anything more than the names of songs and ->'s.

Re: Hey all you OCDers |
I know if you didn't write the sets down it would forgotten by the time you got back to the room.
I have a BTL tour jacket that I find something in every time it comes out of mothballs... does this make me the victim or the crime ?
