Please e-mail me at laing_drewann@yahoo.com or leave a comment here
Or just send me a recording of one or all of the texts below


Text E (DONE)
=======
"I have saved movie tickets since the 1970's. The earlier ticket stubs don't have the names of most of the movies because, back then, theatres just printed bulk tickets without much customisation. Starting around '83, the theatres with the more advanced ticketing systems have been putting on the name of the theatre and the movie's title."


Text A
=======
"When I was a kid in the late 1940's and early 1950's, I saved all of my cinema ticket stubs as well as programs and reviews in a huge oversized envelope and scrapbook. Alas, most of it got thrown away around 1970. I have heard complaints in recent years that modern ticket stubs fade away after about 2 to 3 years, and you are left with an unreadable piece of cardstock, but I have solved this problem by spraying mine with a fixative that I buy at the Local Artshop."

Text F
=======
"I've been collecting cinema ticket stubs since June 30th 1995, when Judge Dredd rocked my then 26 year old world, and I've saved every one since. Seriously, every one. I keep them in a little cigarbox in my bedroom. As pathetic as it sounds, I go through them every so often collating them, putting them in chronological order.Iam usually able to assign some kind of memory to each one."

Text C
=======
"I try to keep all of my movie ticket stubs. Iam not really sure why, I just have for a long time.I have this jar that I keep them in, and every once in a while I will root through my purse and collect the ones for the past few months and deposit them. Tonight I put in 27 movie ticket stubs which date back to April. Twenty seven. I bet I missed a few too. Anyway, I went through my old ticket stubs and, Wow, were there some memories in there."

Text B
=======
"My Boyfriend used to save all of his movie ticket stubs and then write on the back who he went to see the movie with. Interestingly enough he stopped doing this when he started dating me. I like to think that it's because he'll never see a movie with anyone besides me again so there's no need to keep track of it. Then again I live in a fantasy world."

Text G
=======
"I just recently parted ways with the torn and tattered ticket stub of my seeing The Lost Boys with the first guy I ever kissed. It was hard to let go. But seeing as the first guy I ever kissed isn't my husband, well, the husband was just jealous of that stub. I'd often take out the stub and just hold it in my hand. Hence it's torn and tattered state. Sigh."

Text D (DONE)
=======
"I obsessively save all of my movie ticket stubs. It is comforting to have proof of a memory; some physical reminant from an occurance that now only resides in the mind. I collect these little mementos because Iam afraid that I will lose what they signify. I keep everything hoping that I will lose nothing. As other collectors do, I think of these things as souvenirs, not just of the films I saw, but of my very experience of watching movies."



Thanks Drewann
