U2, Keeping Me Warm at Night
You know you have a problem when you can no longer stack all of your T-shirts in their designated drawer.
That’s what happened to me a few months ago when I was adding yet another one to the pile and my dresser wouldn’t shut completely. Me being somewhat of a neat freak, this bugged me to the point of taking many of them to Goodwill and sorting the rest into piles (travel, concerts, etc.). The pile that was the largest was easily the U2 pile (21 shirts in all).
So, I decided to do what I did a few years ago when I had the same problem: hire someone to craft a quilt of those memories. It’s a practical way to recycle, a space saver (in my drawers, at least), and an easy conversation starter when hosting visitors.
Said quilt arrived in the mail today. Though I didn’t only use concert shirts (or even all the U2 shirts I have), all of the ones shown below have something to do with the band (i.e. in the bottom left corner is my first ONE shirt from volunteering for the campaign). I can’t stop looking at it, remembering all of the good times I had.
