We did a promotion forThe Alarm's Mike Peters at the Soiled Dove.  He was a great guy, telling stories and reminiscing about the big Red Rocks U2 concert back in the day that The Alarm opened for.  We tried to get him to the store but we just couldn't get it worked out this time around, but he promised he'd come visit next time through!
This was a big moment for our shop.  Genesis Breyer P-Orridge from what could be called the first industrial band 'Throbbing Gristle' and then from Psychic TV came to FashioNation for a RARE record signing/meet & greet. Â
Longtime friend of our shop Airick Redwolf, Genesis and a wolfpack from Kansas City out front of our store.  Something amongst TOPY folk. The Wolf represents Pack, Loyalty, Bond, Family, different levels of a unit/community all working together
So may turned out for the signing, (Genesis with friend of the shop, Cozmos Mudwulf) Â The band brought along some limited edition posters and records for the signing
Once tagged all over Capitol Hill the Topy Cross was at our front door threshold when we first opened back in 1987.  We copied it and repainted it over the years, when we moved to the new location obviously it had to come too!
Psychedelic soul for the boot collection!
The Second time in the shop and Andy was just as 'brash, outrageous and free' as before!  You know that feeling when you meet your heroes and they don't suck.. ya - like that. great guy!!! (with store kid jamie, my daughters Syd & Mia)
Not often you get to Meet one's Maker - We got to.. John Lydon & PIL were playing the Gothic up the street from the shop.  We were in on the promotion with a ticket giveaway and a meet & greet for the show.  (we tried to get the band in the shop but no luck sometimes you just can't get through to the right person) So with the meet & greet i asked if my wife Pam and I could go to it thinking 2 more people wouldn't make be any big deal... It was...  Little did i know there were only the 2 people that won the Meet & Greet from our store and 2 more from Twist & Shout (another legendary Denver record store)  This was a crazy, personal, intimate party after the show that i will treasure forever.  I mean, PBR's with Johnny fuck'n Rotten, ya, that happened
Another great time with Skinny Puppy.  the boys played The boulder Theatre so there wasn't time to come to the shop.  Ogre set us up with tickets and passes to hang out after the show which was SWEET!  We brought them some Tripp NYC jeans and Dr. Martens boots from the shop  Always a blast with these guys!
So much of my music collection has David J in it!  Two of my very favorite bands, Bauhaus and Love & Rockets.  David was in town doing a Dj set, he was hanging out with my old Boss at Rock Island, Dave Clamage, when they stopped by.  He signed a bunch of vinyl which was rad!
