Eso that is a tough thing indeed my friend... I can only imagine, even though I don't want to.

You were selected to pickup Pat's collection for a reason bro, that reason will reveal itself when it's right and I trust you will know what to do. If you are ever wanting to reach out to Pat's older brother Paul let me know, I can get you his contact info. I'm not saying this is what you should do but rather just giving you the only other option I have in my pocket that I could share to hopefully help you with this difficult decision.

To echo the sentiments of MrQc & Salvador (and I'm sure the rest of the cats on here), just do what feels right to you man... The forum will have your back no matter what.

Man...just got all emotional reading through this. Can't even imagine what it feels like Eso. But I guess time will heal everything and let it run its course. There is no rush to do anything. We all have your back, you have been down with the forum. Love and Peace...SD

Some really cool products coming from Thes One, unfortunately I wasn't able to snag anything this time around (far away from a computer and internet at the time). Did anyone by chance snag Double K's Acid Raindrops test pressing, a hefty price but something bitchin' to have in the PUTS collection.

Thank you Eso for taking this upon yourself. I still can't believe Pat's not with us. RIP Muny.

Hey guys, I don't ever really post here but I read threads occasionally and I followed Pat on IG.

I know it's a crazy idea and there's probably no way to actually make it happen, but it sounds like some of this stuff should be in a "museum" of some sort. Maybe at Piecelock studio? I know, the reality of making it happen is insane... but I'm not sure what else you would do with the personal memorabilia.

It just reminds me though about how amazing the group and the fans are. Inspiring stuff...

Thanks for stopping by and commenting cdoc, it's appreciated by all the forum heads!

I believe this was mentioned earlier in the thread and I'd imagine Esomedina proposed this to Thes when he discussed Pat's PUTS merch. Keeping the collection together, I feel, was everyones preference but would have required a location to display/store it. With how large Pat's collection is the display would have a fairly large footprint. With the response that Eso received from Thes I'm guessing that he doesn't have the space or doesn't want to be constantly reminded of his dear friend's passing... maybe even both I don't know as I am guessing at what was said. We've decided as a group to let Eso decide what to do as he currently has the collection. Whatever the decision, it's not an easy one to make and will be tough regardless of the direction it takes...

Again, thanks for chiming in cdoc. It's amazing how many people Pat touched with his online presence, he is sorely missed around here no doubt. We hope to see you around, hopefully by way of posting but if you'd still like to lurk in the forum I won't hold it against you!

RIP Pat

Just chiming in to confirm that Thes said he did not want the collection. He said it would be tragic if any of Pat's stuff ended up on Ebay which is why I'm really apprehensive about breaking it up. He told me to incinerate it if the burden became too much. I'll forward it to another trusted Forum member before doing that.

I'm thinking I'll finalize the cataloging around the Christmas holiday since I'll have some time off work to dedicate to it. I'm telling you, there are some gems in there. Maybe I should do an Instagram Live video going through the storage bins over the holidays. .

Here's probably the most personal item in the collection, the Highlighter LP gift from the group to Pat. Thes said he did not mind if it was shared.

That is amazing!!!!! Thank you for sharing

I hate the idea of Pats collection becoming a burden to you... Or anyone for that matter. It is definitely not what he would have wanted.
I would be happy for it to stay with you Esomedina, if it stays together and you have room, but again maybe you don't want that?!?!? Just want Pats legacy to be one of happiness and love man.

Word, take your time Eso. Thanks again.
And shout out to the "General of the P Army" - Sactown
This forum is never going to be as exciting or energetic without him, but our memories of him, his website, what he represented to the P army, and everything he did will hopefully keep his legacy alive.

Wow, thanks for sharing. Even though I always knew it, it's cool to see how much they appreciated him.

Wow indeed that really is a emotional and special piece. I think in a lot of ways the collection staying together is the right move & keeps it safe as well as preserving the memory of Sac. Again I can only echo the rest of the message & that is do what’s in your heart Eso. Whatever that is will be the right thing. Thanks for sharing dude.

agreed that the collection should be in tact and stay in safe place with eso... there's just too many people here to "spread" the wealth, and there will always be somebody left out who wanted a certain item. keeping the collection whole as a celebration of pat's PUTS army legacy sounds like a fair deal to me.
thanks eso for sharing such a personal and beautifully written memo by Thes!

For what it's worth, I think his is the kind of thing that's probably just too raw for mike and chris right now, but in time I think it is best it does end up with them. Even a year on, it's just too much, but with enough time it'll be something they can look at with fond memories instead of lots of pain. I suggest you document everything (perhaps sharing it with the army), then keep it safe until they're ready.

peace, east.
