Got this hugenormous magnet of the Roseland Ballroom marquee when The Strokes played from the Alone, Together fan club.
At the time I thought it was soooo hilarious that it read “THE STROKES – SOLD OUT”
Ah, memories…

You know how when people get up in age, they can turn into a crazy old cat lady? Well I’m realizing that after 20 days of consecutively posting about old Strokes memorabilia for Strokes March Madness month, I’m in the danger zone for being the archetype “crazy old Strokes lady.”
Despite that chilling possibility, I’m going to make good on my promise and keep posting these oldies but goodies until the end of the month.
I found this totally random Alone, Together lottery ticket in my pile o’ stuff. I can’t really remember what the ticket was supposed to win you. Maybe some special ticket to an upcoming show? A signed photo? A free hug from someone at Wiz Kid? Can anyone recall?

Look at these fine-looking dudes on the cover of Alone, Together (the official Strokes fan club) newsletter — Issue 3 from the summer of 2003!

In 2002, members of the Alone, Together fan club received an “all access” pass to commemorate the Strokes’ “Wyckyd Sceptre” tour.
Tour dates of the entire tour were listed on the back of the pass.

As a member of the Alone, Together Strokes fan club, in the early 2000s, aficionados received a little present in one of their mailings.
Yup, that’s right, Strokes-branded shoelaces! Perfect for lacing up your grungy ol’ Converse sneakers while traipsing around the East Village, eh?

I think I may have gotten this bag during one of The Strokes‘ shows at the Theater at Madison Square Garden.
Featuring the classic Strokes logo in red on a white bag, this is a pretty nifty little item I found tucked away in a pile of stuff!

I used to have this fairly large Strokes logo window decal stuck to my college dorm room window, facing a busy New York City avenue. It was my way of telling the world, that a Strokes fan was dwelling behind the constantly closed blinds.
I actually have no recollection of where I got the decal — I must’ve swiped it from a record store or something.
However, I do remember one time I heard a Strokes songs coming up through the vents in my suite. I totally freaked out, running out into the hallway, putting my ear next to all the neighboring doors, then inspecting the floor above me, but I couldn’t locate the source. It was only a couple months later that I figured out that the tunes were coming from the very cool owner of the shop directly below my room.
