More pics and things?

So my last post linked to a Google Drive account with all the FOB photos I amassed and had not yet been able to share. I couldn’t fit my entire collection (i.e. the stuff I have posted) on that account because it was more space that Google Drive offers for free. But then tetraghost messaged me to point out I could get an account on mega that would be able to handle everything. So I did. It’s been months now and I keep forgetting to post this but for anyone who is interested in the photos I have already posted to this account (some of which are much larger than what you can see on tumblr) here you go: https://mega.nz/#F!GUNxiAoK!HnA2Yr5emrmuY-SG5llqwQ

A word of warning. Some of these are not organized well or at all even. Some of these are duplicates. And there are oodles that I never posted and never planned to post because I saved them from tumblr users who shared them--I only saved them for my personal use. But if you want to wade through it all, have at it. Again, I’m not planning on deleting this blog ever but in the event that tumblr disappears or this account gets deleted for reasons beyond my control, this content will not be lost forever. And with that, I bid you adieu once more <3

We had a good run, even I have to admit.

It was four years ago this month that I started using this blog to share my collection of Patrick Stump. Now, 25,660+ posts on this blog and 15,260+ fobomatic posts later, I think it's time to officially turn in my Certified Fall Out Boy Blogger card. I have loved my 8+ years in this fandom. I survived the hiatus, witnessed three marriages and the birth of four children, made great friends, and obliterated three hard drives with the more than 80,000 photo and video and audio files I've amassed of this band, which is much more than just a band to me. I still love these four dorks and their music. I'm sure I always will.

Months ago I promised that if I didn't return I'd leave you with a gift. Today I'm making good on that promise. So here it is: weighing in at just under 10GB, here are the files I haven't shared (more or less). I did my best to keep a record of this band and since these didn't make their way onto my blog, I wanted to put them somewhere accessible to everyone. If there was a practical (free) way to share the 20 GB I have already posted to my blogs, I would include that as well, but unfortunately you will just have to make use of my tags and hope for the best.

A couple things:

  • There is a .txt file of all the old tour dates in case anyone is wondering what show a photo is from.
  • If you check the .xif file and see a url in the title line, that where I found the photos.  
  • As you'll see, the files are somewhat organized and I've done my best to keep track of dates or guess dates, though mistakes have been made.
  • There are a couple folders that I honestly can't remember what I was doing when I made them.
  • Sharing this is a lot like letting someone poke around in your bedroom closet so please excuse the mess and shoot me an email if you find I've left something in there that might mortify me.

I am honored to have been followed by so many of you and it's been a pleasure sharing this band's history as best I could. I won't be answering any more asks, sadly (though I would still put my ability to date a photo of Patrick against anyone—even Pete), but the blogs and their content will remain here, tumblr willing. 💋✌🏻
