Putting this out as I need #Fediverse help.
Please boost far and wide.

In the 1980s there used to be this paper catalogue sent out. (yep, this is how we used to buy things if local stores didn't have them!)

I want to say quarterly but I'm not sure. It let you order things such as band T-shirts, buttons (badges), patches, posters, and other memorabilia. I *think* it was sent out from California. Does anyone know the name of it? I have been racking my brains trying to remember it. I have fond memories of my sister (who's 10 years older than me) and I poring through it to see what we could get.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/users/pertho/statuses/115852776121774756 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
