The Northeastern Pez Collectors Gathering 2007 : The Podcast
04.20.07 By Collin DavidPlease enjoy this selection of interviews that I’d recorded at this year’s Pez Gathering, and be sure to check out parts one and two of the Pez Gathering coverage. The interviewees are comprised of the various attendees on the 8th floor of the Westin, who gladly gave their Pez recollections and opinions.
My answers?
The first Pez that I actually bought intentionally was a Batman Pez, though I think I had some kind of unfortunate Looney Tunes Pez from years before. My mom and I went to the local Rite-Aid to pick up a prescription for my recently-removed wisdom tooth agony, and in the last few moments of clarity that I had before I grew dizzy with pain, I told myself ‘dammit, I need something fun today!’ And that is when I started my Pez collection. That evolved only into characters that I liked and were easily accessible at retail, such as the Star Wars and Simpsons Pez items.
The most I ever spent on a Pez item was ten dollars, at the Pez Gathering, for the Psychedelic Eye Pez. If I were to collect Pez, I’d start with the vast array of these, all colored differently.
And my holy grail of Pez? I think that I’d like the rare soft-head Joker Pez, only because I’m a big fan of The Joker.
Also, please enjoy this selection of photos taken by Chris Cooney, who visited the Pez Gathering with me!
