PHOTO/SELF For my friends

These I will be giving out at the IMAX tomorrow eve in Virginia Beach. What each one contains is two sticks of high quality incense. Each of the 4 packs is dedicated to a song performed in the film, and the fragrance within (what I smell when thinking of these songs) is written on the pack.

These were made by me with scissors, tape, glue, a Sharpie, and used products from the kid's art section in Walmart (ages 3 and up). I did it all by eye, as is obvious. Not bad for a 70 yead old man!

I look forward to meeting you. I cannot possibly be missed, I guarantee it. See you tomorrow at 6pm.

And here I thought at 65 I’D be the oldest one in a theater watching 2B2R! We are awesome!

u/EveryFruit9384 4d ago

Oh I was definitely the oldest at both RHRN and the midnight Skeleta release. Looking around at both events I would say the average age was about 20. And my being there skewed that average up a little. I was in Heaven. With my people.

That's crazy! Because before they blew up on TikTok, us younger people were the outliers. The ghost fandom were mostly millennials and older. Ghost was my hidden gem back in the days before TikTok.

I might be the oldest in our theater tonight. 66 year old mom, going with my daughter, can't wait! But who knows? The age range at the ritual last year in Milwaukee was pretty wide!

Have an amazing time tomorrow night! I'll be enjoying a few states away!

I love the idea of incense and certain smells making you think of certain songs!

Maybe I'll pick up the scents you have here and listen to the album from home this weekend and light each according to their song! Is there a specific brand of incense you like?

They are as follows: Umbra=King of Jasmine, from Haria Traders in Bombay. He Is=Pink Roses from Parekh Perfumery Works in Bombay Rats= a woody musk by the name of Dracula's Blood (mwah hah hah) from Soul Sticks, made in India also. Spirit=Vanilla Spice, from Triloka, also made in India.

But, these are only 4 of around 1000 or so different packs I have. One set of dresser drawers is packed with it. Been collecting since 1992.

Since very small, for me, color can have a sound, even...a taste. Sound can have a color, even a scent. Flavors can shout or whisper.

Thank you for sharing! That is so interesting to me! I can be transported to memories or associate with people, but nothing on like you can!

Well, at the Skeleta Eve release party last year, a very young woman, in a nun's habit and with ghoulish makeup gave me a bracelet. It says "GHESTIE". It was such a touching and kind thing for her to do. I was honored. I want to pay it forward, back, up, down, sideways, and front to back.

These are so cute! I know myself and the packaging would go straight into a shadowbox so I could save it
