Some of the things I tossed:
- One of my brother's old business cards for a company, Pixelhaus, that he started himself
- Ticket stubs for a bunch of old movies, including Titanic, There's Something About Mary, Addicted to Love, Lethal Weapon 4, and Career Girls. I'm a bit surprised I saw Addicted to Love in the theaters. I'm surprised I saw Lethal Weapon 4 at all, much less in a theater. I don't have any recollection of the film Career Girls. In fact, I'd go so far as to say I've never heard of it, yet apparently I saw it and paid full price.
- Greg Ryan's phone number, written on a piece of paper ripped off a pack of cigarettes. I've got no idea who Greg Ryan is, but he lived in Brooklyn when he gave me his address and number.
- Suzanne Vega's manager's business card
- Some printed logos for the 1998 MTV Movie Awards
- A luggage tag written in Japanese, which (I think) made it cooler than your ordinary luggage tag, and that's (I think) why I kept it all these years
- A Tower Air boarding pass (who knows why I ever kept that. I hope it was accidental)
- A visitor's badge to Bloomberg dated April 10 1995 (a j-school field trip I remember being really dull)
- A ticket to a Giants game vs. the Colorado Rockies I went to with Homestead
- THE MOST PAINFUL ONE SO FAR... A realtor's business card with a note scribbled to myself: "229,000 2BR" The property in question was a single-family Edwardian home in Noe Valley on Sanchez Street. In 1997.
- A bunch of concert tickets, to Sonic Youth, Neil Young, Tori Amos, Ben Folds Five. I remember all of these shows quite well
- A VIP badge to a Blur concert at the Warfield
- A napkin from 21, where Benj and I went during my last crazy days in NYC
- A sticker from Antique Boutique, a store I adored when I was 25
- My MTV Radio Network business cards
