I touched it!

Hello everyone and all,

Just wanted to brag a little bit here.

Made a trip to the Rock 'n Roll hall of fame a couple weeks ago. All the things you would expect to be there were. Hendrix stuff, Stones, Zep, all kinds of clothes, guitars. List goes on and on. Sorry didn't see any Bunnymen crap.

Anywho, there wasn't much Floyd stuff there. The two large "head" props used on the front of the Division Bell album where there. Pretty cool. Also, they were just starting to setup a Wall exhibit. They had part of the wall setup with the Professor balloon "crawling" out from overtop of it. It was pretty high up but, when no one was looking, I jumped up and was able to touch the finger tip of the professor. I still can't believe it. I actually touched the balloon that was on tour with Floyd and that millions of people looked at.


My question is, has anyone else touched it? Am I the only forum member here to have such an incredible accomplishment?


I feel special.


Very special.

I touched a gold record signed by Foreigner.

Ok, well I didn't touch it.
But I did seriously consider trying to pry it off the wall when nobody was looking.


It feels like the first time...


And groovy on touching the ballon, Spoon Boy.
You are the envy of me and, well...me.
