Dave lives like a Colonial...


Well, good news and bad news for those following Dave's Experience. The positive is, CP Member Sycotic hooked him up for some fun time in Virginia. The downside, well, the event we have been waiting on since January kind of fell through, but, more on that later. To the photos!!


CP Member Sycotic, aka Dave, put 'Dave' to work at his bank...


Williamsburg, Virginia


'Dave' tried making a break for it. On an irrelevant note, I have a friend in Oregon that works for Diebold. One technician for literally hundreds of square miles. Can you say busy... ;o)

You cannot go to Williamsburg without a picture of a Colonial...

Just down the street from where Tom Hank's production company is working on a John Adams miniseries. Wonder if he'll bring the volleyball back for a cameo ;o)

Finally, one of the first things we signed 'Dave' up for when we began the entire experience back in January was an all access trip to the Lamb of God concert. Well, when Sycotic showed up with 'Dave', lets just say Security was a little concerned that a 12 oz solid piece of Lucite might be used as a weapon so he was not allowed in... *sigh*. So, after months of waiting Sycotic's back stage pass is as close as he got.

For more about Dave Krieg

take a visit to his personal web site. I should have posted this earlier for people to view, sorry. But, on the plus side, I'm going to add it to our 'Friends of Dave' section (it isn't wrong to list the person as a friend of himself is it??)

**Please note**, this blog nor our site (Collector Planet) are in any way endorsed by Dave Krieg or any other athletes, public personalities, or individuals that have or will be featured in pictures with 'Dave'. This site is solely for the enjoyment of our members and the public at large.

My nominee for the March picture of the month...

Thanks for the picture thepistonsfan!! While on his tour today this one was taken especially for yours truly... What can I say, miss living in Oregon and cannot wait until I get back. This is part of the WWII memorial in Washington D.C. for those that are wondering.

Dave plays tourist in our Nation's Capitol...

(that is Washington D.C., the District of Columbia for you veteran Jaywalkers...). Thanks once again to thepistonsfan for playing tour guide with 'Dave' today. The pictures are pretty much self explanatory so I'll try not to clutter the view to much.


If you don't know where this was taken, then you have other issues...


This is where all the funny money is made... good thing we got rid of that pesky gold standard...

The World War II Memorial is a fairly recent addition to the landscape of D.C. Not sure when it was finished off the top of my head, but for those of you who have not seen it I recommend making a visit.

Another must see stop on the circuit is the Vietnam Memorial.

The Washington Monument

The Washington monument as seen from the Lincoln Memorial (IF I recall correctly). Or as most people recognize it, 'that scene from Forest Gump'...

If Lincoln were alive today... he'd probably be a Bears fan ;o)

Last but not least, America's House, or, as it is better known, the place where President Bush is when not at Camp David or in Texas...

Dave at the Chantilly Show, Day 2

Once again, back into the breach known as the Chantilly show with 'Dave'. Yesterday was spent looking around, today was autograph day. We won't show all of them, but here are a few highlights for the day (we apologize in advance for all the Redskins in the pics ;) ). Thanks again to thepistonsfan for the great pictures!!


All Broncos fans should know who this is.... Nightmares never go away, do they? :o) Doug Williams gracious enough to pose with 'Dave' and a friend of thepistonsfan.

Mark Rypien holding his idol, Dave.... (Ok, maybe I embellished that part a little). Nice rings though. His friend there doesn't seem to be a believer in the 'experience', lol

Dave at the Chantilly Show, Day 1

For those not familiar with it, the Chantilly show is held at the Dulles Expo Center and runs until Sunday, March 18th. Quality card shows are hard to find in the hobby these days so if you have never had the chance to attend I highly recommend it. This will probably be the largest card show 'Dave' attends until we all meet up at the National Card Show in Cleveland (held August 1st to August 5th). Once again, thanks to CP Member thepistonsfan for the great pictures!

Best picture of the day by far, former Green Bay standout quarterback Bart Starr posing with 'Dave'. Thanks for putting up with the whims of an odd group of collectors!!!

Dave does the D.C. Metro

In climate weather prevented Dave from seeing the sites of D.C., but they were able to get out and about a little. Thanks to CP Member thePistonsfan for the great pictures.

Apparently thepistonsfan somehow convinced the office manager to pose for Dave... Three words for you, check your coffee... ;o)

Dave goes to Washington.... D.C.

No, not a rip off of Kevin Klein and his presidential flick 'Dave', but Collector Planet's 'Dave' has reached the District of Columbia! Thanks to CP Member thePistonsfan for the picture. We apologize in advance for anyone offended by the display of any Washington Redskins football memorabilia... ;o)

Dave does the Caribbean!

Well, Dave has safely returned from his fun in the sun. Dave and his handlers left on a fun filled voyage from Puerto Rico with four beautiful ports of call stopping at Aruba, Curacao, St Marten and St Thomas. As always, thanks to CP Member Phileagles for the great pictures of Dave's cruising adventure!!! (Sorry for the larger pictures, but I wanted to make sure everyone could see the great scenery!)

Dave relaxes by the jacuzzi aboard ship.

Dave with one of Royal Caribbean's famous towel animals in Phil's room. (We hope it was house trained...)

Dave in Aruba. Tons of cactus and lava rock, it's a desert island in the dry season. (Please Note: Please do not feed the plastic wildlife.)

Dave in St Marten.

Dave in St Thomas Megans Bay in the background, rated one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world!


Dave in St Thomas. One of the highest points in the US Virgin Islands. You can see Phil's ship in the distance.

Jersey Boy Dave

Well, some good news and bad news. The good news is 'Dave' made it safely to New Jersey (near Philly). The bad? (No, not that it is New Jersey, would be to obvious). The bad is he will be 'off the radar' for about 10-12 days as he is heading on a Caribbean Cruise. We'll pass the time as best we can until his safe return. Until then, here are a couple shots to tide us over courtesy of CP Member Phileagles.

Dave with some of Phileagles kickass memorabilia. Autographed locker room plates from a team auction/sale are pretty sweet!!

Arctic air is scheduled to nail Hartford tomorrow... I don't even want to know how warm it will be in the Caribbean.....
