布拉姆您好，很高興看到你終於有一台掃描儀！

[Arthur]

Thanks guys!

The best present so far was, of course, my rare 1992 Smashing Pumpkins Paard poster, and my wife is going to take me to the movies next weekend (Avatar), and after that we are going to eat out in a Thai restaurant called Ramakkien, which is 1 of the best Thai restaurants I have even been eating out… Looking forward!

[Arthur]

謝謝您

And i’m still looking for a real "pink" Siamese Dream.[/quote:34ct3y26]
I happened to come across one on eBay that looked rather pinkish to me. #380186119119 (43 bucks, buy now)

[Arthur]

Phoenix, to the rescue! Soma is not on the winning side anymore!

[Arthur]

I think this one really looks red, and both discs are even the same color, judging by this pic only.

Still for sale on eBay Japan (price now on 8 bucks), for who’s interested. eBay #300375605993.

These days, while doing research on the early shows of the Smashing Pumpkins (remember that unknown 1991 US Tour gig and recordings…), and on that 1992 Paard poster (to check if it is genuine, and it is), I also came into contact with the Smashing Pumpkins’ Tour Manager of the early Nineties. Well, with his girlfriend actually, that claims that her current boyfriend was the Tour Manager back then of the Smashing Pumpkins. I’ve asked her if I could have an interview with her guy, about the early days, and about being on the road with the Smashing Pumpkins. Should be an interesting article, right! Hopefully I will hear from them this weekend again. Keep you posted.

Another thingy I just purchased for 8 euro incl. shipment. I knew about the jewelcase promo of First Love, Last Rites, but this is the cardsleeve promo that I have never seen before. So it is not on the SPfreaks.com site yet also.

Nice to see you back, Arthur. [/quote:1ogszlql]
Yeah, feels good, really. Last week that pretty cool 1991 live recordings, now this fucking rare poster.

Little update on my life, hope you don’t mind… Wrong thread, I know, but I don’t want to make it a big thingy. And since nobody reads this thread anyway… Few days ago, that Bank that is chasing my ass for quite a big amount of money, and even found a judge that verdict me for little over 50% of that amount, that same Bank called my lawyer and announced that they want to call it a shot. Stop the lawsuit against me. Since they sold the properties from the bankruptcy case of my ex-business partner, and even made a little profit (though not all intrest of the mortgage was paid off). To cut a long story short, my lawyer told them that they now should pay me a big penalty for this useless case, and gave them 6 weeks to think about it and come up with a deal.

No party yet, though!

It can go here, there and everywhere still, but AT LEAST I don’t have to pay 525,000 US$ (where the Bank put me in court for) or 275,000 US$ (what the judge said I should pay, which I did not agree on, and went into Appeal for) anymore. So it feels like a turning point again.

Second thing, we are doing better with our company. Many projects came in lately, and I start hearing rumours that all salary cuts will be paid back with a little intrest, and all my bonus money that wasn’t paid also last 6-7 months, will be paid in January or February next year. Believe me, that is substantial money altogether. So yeah, from dark clouds and rain, back to a little sunshine now.

So I thought, let’s have a little treat. That poster that Peppe pointed out to us (thanks again, bro!) came on the right moment, I guess. I have to wait for next year February/March to be fully back in business though, but hell, this is already very nice.

Thanks for reading, guys. Thanks for being my online friends here. Hats off to you. The gift you send me about half a year ago (the BBC disc) was a big thingy for me, and your neverending sillyness here also.

Love you too.

Oh wait, this is in public. Fuck off! Man, what do you want from me? Go paint your cat, rape the sewery, burn a cigarette in the microwave, and finish it off with a swimming pool of beer to drown in! But stay off my back, modderfokker!

[Arthur]

BRAVO ARTHUR.

Thanks to you my friend. I had missed it, but luckily you saw it and posted it here. This poster is very special to me (as Sven understands very well ) and since I’m doing a little better as half a year ago, it also feels good to be back a little in Pumpkins Collecting Land.

I’m back. My precious.

[Arthur]

YES! Back in action!

I am a big fan of Muse, you all know that. But I have 1 issue with the voice of the singer. It bores me after a few songs. He is not very creative in his way of singing. The music is freakin’ awesome though, don’t get me wrong!

[Arthur]

Dang, the first bidder tried bidding again, and that person really wants it… it’s on 38 bucks now, and 20 mins to go…

There’s one plus though, the dollar-euro rate is a laughter these days.

[Arthur]

Just put a bid… and it’s on 13 bucks on my name now… fingers crossed, still over 1.5 hrs to go…

[Arthur]

And what’s awesome too… Google finds SPfreaks over 29,000 times already.

And I found a funny but weird site that links to us.

see?I knew somebody would be interested [/quote:2srdbnk4]
Good guess, Peppe! Thanks for pointing this one out to me!

[Arthur]

Never mind, I’m going to bid anyway, since I expect a few bucks for my birthday soon.

Hopefully no one from here is going to bid?

[Arthur]

Nicely said, mirrorboxer.

But all the features that have gone from the SP.com site is a miss.
