"These go to eleven."
Right, well, you see, we've been to a lot of concerts. Played most of them, actually. And the one thing we've learned is that memories fade, but rock and roll is forever. That's what this app does, innit? Makes your concert memories... forever.
Option 1: Photograph Your Stub
You've got the ticket, yeah? The physical artifact of rock. Press the "+" button—and this is the brilliant part—it goes all the way up. Point your phone camera at the stub, snap a photo, and that image gets stored on this thing called IPFS. It's like a massive amplifier for your memories. Completely decentralized. Nobody can unplug it.
Then you fill in the details: the band, the venue, the date. Simple, really. Even our drummer could do it. Well, maybe not our drummer specifically, but... you know. A drummer.
Option 2: Use an Existing Photo
Perhaps you've already documented the stub. Very professional. Very rock and roll. Select it from your photo library and attach it to your memory. Bob's your uncle.
Option 3: No Stub? Create From Memory
Look, things happen on tour. Stubs get lost. Sometimes you can't even find the stage, let alone your ticket. We once wandered around beneath a venue for hours trying to find—well, that's not important. Point is, you can create the memory without the physical stub. Just type in what you remember. The spirit of rock lives on.
This is where you want to be thorough, yeah? Like a proper set list:
You can also add seat information, what you paid, the opener... all the details that make the memory complete. Like a concept album, but for your life.
Ah, tags. This is where it gets quite clever, actually. There's two types, and they go to eleven. Well, three. But that's still more than most apps.
Blockchain Tags (The Eternal Ones)
These are permanent. Carved into the digital stone, as it were. You get three of them per memory. Three. Not five, not two—well, two would be acceptable on the way to three—but three is the number. Use them for the important bits: the band name, the venue, maybe "LOUD" if it was particularly loud.
Once you mint that memory, these tags are set in stone. Like a Stonehenge monument, except... the right size. They won't change. They won't shrink. They're permanent.
Application Tags (The Flexible Ones)
Now these, you can change whenever you like. Add as many as you want. "Best solo ever." "Met the bassist." "Ears still ringing." "Derek fell asleep." Whatever helps you organize your concert memories. These are just for you—private, personal, changeable. Like a set list, really. You can adjust as needed.
This is the beautiful part, isn't it? The "I Was There Too" feature. The app creates this special code based on the venue and date, and if someone else was at that same show, you can connect with them. Fellow witnesses to the rock.
Imagine finding other people who were there when we played the Jazz Odyssey material at that air force base. Actually, maybe don't imagine that. Bad example.
But yes! You can find your people. Your tribe. The ones who understand. Of course, you control your privacy settings. If you want to remain mysterious, that's very rock and roll as well.
Happens to the best of us, mate. We've lost entire drummers, never mind ticket stubs. Just do a manual entry. Type in what you remember. The memory is what matters—the experience of being there, the volume, the energy. You don't need the paper to prove you were there. The music lives inside you.
That's quite deep, actually. Nigel said that. Or maybe it was Derek. Someone said it.
Oh yes. Permanent. It's minted as an NFT on the blockchain. Do you know what that means? Neither do we, entirely. But here's what matters: it's yours forever. Companies come and go. Apps disappear. But this? This is decentralized. Distributed. It abides.
Even if the servers explode—and we've seen a lot of things explode on stage—your memories survive. They're stored across a network that can't be shut down. It's like the ultimate amplifier. One that actually goes to eleven.
Your memories of rock will outlive us all. Which, given our history with drummers, is saying something.
A few thoughts from decades on the road:
More FAQs coming for movies, sports, theater, and all that. But let's be honest—concerts are where it's at. Rock and roll forever.
