Long Shot But I'm Looking For A Dirge Sticker...
Posted: Fri Aug 28, 2020 3:43 am
Ok, so some of you were aware that last December my beloved EBMM St. Vincent was stolen in a car break-in while I was running a post-recording errand. It was missing all this time (with me pissing and moaning about it on at least a weekly basis)... until Monday when a buddy up at Guitar Center called to ask if I still had my serial number. Yep. Turns out someone had sold it in (for pennies, knowing GC). So now I have it back!
Almost. I lost my OG Fuzz strap that I really loved (screenprinted with small eyeballs in rainbow colors all over, now out of production of course), and they took all my stickers off (yes I even sticker my $2k guitars, its my version of hiking my leg and peeing on it to claim it). They left the grass clippings and dirt, of course, and a bag of custom 3D printed Texas-shaped pedal switch toppers (because as you can probably gather by now, I have EXCELLENT TASTE).
They were even dumb enough to leave the sticker goo outlines on the guitar and sticker shreds all over the case. This was an "I NEED METH NOW" sale, for sure.
Now normally stickers wouldn't be a huge deal, but one of them I just had real sentimental attachment to. It was one I got from Evan when I bought an Even Anguish, and it was a big holographic one with a mecha robot on it that said "SHOEGAZE WARRIOR." I was almost as upset about losing the sticker as I was the guitar. My bandmates are equally upset, it was a beloved running joke.
The new stickers aren't the same. They don't have the same tone, the same mojo, the same sheer aggressive gayness that was the rainbow hologram SHOEGAZE WARRIOR. Even THREE rainbow hologram stickers just aren't doing the trick.
So I beg of you... if someone has one of these stupid stickers sitting around in a drawer or sticker pile somewhere I will legit pay you at least a few dollars to mail it to me. Or Evan... I will pay you more than at least a few dollars to do another run of them and I will buy massive quantities (I also know quite a few people who want them) and sing your praises for years to come.
