This conversation about the little matchbook cover (and all the previous stuff about the safe found downtown) got me thinking: We love old buildings, photos of those old buildings, talking about stuff that happened way back when ... the list goes on.
And its no wonder: We went through a rough patch there (see the 1970s through the 1990s), and thinking about our cute, snappily dressed predecessors (see: roaring 20s) and their little matchbook covers and bustling downtown reminds us that we can do it. Or something.
But what about us? Someday we'll be someone's snappily dressed predecessors. People will be scouring whatever iteration the future holds of eBay and Sanford & Son for pictures of Tacoma's downtown in '07 or signed Tacomics. Believe it.
So, I think we should make a time capsule to represent Tacoma as it is right now.
Off the top of my head, I can think of the following:
1. Loyalty 253 T-shirt
2. Tacomic
3. "Gritty Tacoman" dog shirt or onesie
4. Pictures of downtown, the Java Jive, Opera/Antique Alleys...
5. A mix CD with music from local bands
6. Bound, hard cover compilation of every TacomaArts listserv message detailing exactly how to unsubscribe from the listserv, along with the preceeding 15 e-mails from people who couldn't quite figure it out. (Uhm, kidding!)
Your turn! Contributions (in the form of suggestions) welcome ...
