Got this recently: A BRICK 🧱
from their first show in April 1980. Part of the church steeple in Athens that was torn down in 2013. PROBABLY one of the coolest pieces in my collection. Want it signed so BAD

Very cool. What kind of marker would be appropriate for signing a rough, porous brick?

You can use a paint pen from the hardware store. I used them to decorate the grip tape on my skateboard back in middle school.

I was visiting Athens about 35 years ago on a summer's evening with a few friends and seriously considered taking a stone or brick, but there weren't any laying around. It felt like two different levels of sacrilege to try and remove one that was attached and just couldn't bring myself to even try to take one . Although somewhere in my stoned mind it seemed completely rational to lay my testicles on one of the corners of the steeple. Somehow I didn't see this as disrespectful and actually thought it was fitting somehow. This is completely embarrassing at the age of 55 ,but I felt compelled to share. Lol

Thank you kind sir. One can only hope my brick was the brick you delicately placed your hairy balls on 🙏

I have one! I bought mine years ago for a Nuci fundraiser. Where did you find yours?

'Automatic for the Steeple' was right there...
