An Alice in Chains Christmas in August
Posted by Dustin D. on August 8, 2008 around 9am
I recently went back to my parents house out in the suburbs and was presented with a giant box filled with items from my childhood. As most people can tell you, it takes quite a while before you can fully “move out” from your parents house if they end up relatively staying in the same area. There’s always old toys, stuffed animals, photos, yearbooks, report cards, you name it.
If there was ever any question at all about where I got my packrat/collector mentality; well there isn’t any more. I fully blame my parents. I’m still going through all the items in the box, but so far I’ve found some pretty amazing stuff, like the script from my 5th grade play where I was the Emperor (of new clothes fame). Better still is my binder filled with newspaper and magazine clippings about Nirvana (cut me some slack…I was a teenager in the 90s after all), and a whole host of other odds and sods.
Apparently at some point I must have signed up for the Alice in Chains fan club or mailing list or something. Keep in mind, this was pre-internet, so that sort of thing was much more difficult to do. If you were a fan of a band, you ACTUALLY had to put some effort into letting them know. It wasn’t like you could just friend them on your favorite social networking site. And thus I bring you this; an Alice in Chains holiday post card circa mid 90s.
