Hi there fellow Coop fans!
First post here - and what way is better to start off with, than doing a little bragging... :-) Have been lucky enough to get two of Alice's canes (Sweden -98 and Copenhagen -02), a bunch of bills and picks from various tours/guitarists, a couple of smashed balloons (which I decided to throw away later), and some fake diamonds in 2005. I also managed to get one of Eric Singer's drum sticks, as well as one of the drum skins. And of course I have snatched a couple of tour posters whenever I had the chance!
Still missing a riding crop though!

Welcome aboard!!!
Does anyone know if Alice ever used a plastic rifle (the kind that shoots ping-pong balls) on stage, around 69/70? I'm in conversation with someone who says he attended a very small performance at a youth facility in Toronto in the Summer of 1969 and he mentions Alice using such a gun. He also says the attendees were able to sit/lay down on the floor to watch the show. I checked Timelines and a quote reports there was a mid-day show for 50 or so youth at Galaxi Youth Pavillion in August 1969, but it indicates Alice didn't use any props.
What a weird thing to converse with another human being about, I know, but it tugs at my curiosity now.

If I may put forward a slice of personal colostomy...

Thanks for the welcome! :-)
I have never heard of Alice using a plastic rifle on stage, though it might very well have happened...? But, I have seen a picture (in a Johnny Depp biography!) of Alice from the Killer era, holding, what looks like a pistol! Now that's a strange picture!

Well here are some more to add. Full review here:
viewtopic.php?t=4184
The cane flew into the crowd, smack in the middle of the hall, causing quite a riot apparently, as usual I guess, The riding crop also went on the other side, bleh, missed again! The girl who got it was in our hotel. I saw her this morning holding it preciously, I sure would too!
Well, I managed to get two more dollar notes, I finally managed to snatch one from the air! And I got a piece of balloon again, a light blue one this time. No « diamond » necklace either
Alice was so close with the « Billion Dollar Sword », on our side he could lean out further out, because he could lean on the speakers to do so, I could almost, almost touch the tip of the sword! [oh! And as I type this, Alice is playing « Billion Dollar Babies » on the radio!!! Coincidence?]

I was at a Toad the Wet Sprocket show once and they threw this into the crowd and I got it!
