As usual, I offer you a bit of self-made background noise. While it may be compared to the sounds produced by every day ordinary bodily functions, I promise you, this is not a recording of said functions. Rather, it’s me strumming a guitar in stereo sound! By the title of the song, you might guess that I was a depressed angsty teen when this track was written/recorded, but you’d be wrong. I was instead a depressed angsty 20-something still living with my mom. Pure joy in every note!
Don’t worry, I moved out the same year I committed that track to CD. I even met a girl and eventually married her!
Most of these cards were signed either at the 2009 TwinsFest or the 2009 Twins Autograph Party. Others were signed TTM. Others still were inked up at later TwinsFests. You’ll even bare witness to my very first attempt at a Memorabilia Patch card.

METRODOME “MEMORABILIA” PATCH CARD
Can you believe it? I actually got both Mauer AND Morneau! It wasn’t without a bit of work, mind you, but there they are. If I remember correctly, I believe the Nathan came to me through the mail (TTM). As you can likely tell, the Dome card is fairly thick. The die cut window was not, in fact, die cut. It was actually hand cut with an Xacto knife and, let me tell you, it was a pain. I’ve since found a much better and more reliable way to produce windows. Examples of those cards will eventually be shown as well.
The next “WIWACCD” post will feature the rest of the GameDay Graphers that I produced–all non-Twins, in fact. Plus, after that… GameDay OldSchool?
