LEGENDARY HAT IN DISPLAY CASE
Local TRShady citizen says he has a hat Eminem once wore! Is this for real?
A TRshady member who joined on Jan. 17 2008, is just now recently showing off something we all
want. Back in late 2004, trshady.com was born by it's creator who goes by the name of TRShady. The forum we all know and love was made in January 2005. On August 8 2005, Daren Winch, who goes by the name of Emadyville on trshady, went to Eminem's tour with a friend at the Madison Square Garden Arena in NYC. "Ryan and I got tickets for 90 bucks from ticketmaster", Daren said. "But being big Em fans we searched ebay for something better. We found two tickets for $250 a piece that were in the "pit", which was just a big area in the front of the stage. When we got them we realized they were sold for $90 like ours were, and we sold our other tickets to two friends who went as well." Eminem performed various songs from all his albums. "Lloyd Banks had thrown his shirt, which Ryan had caught part of (two others caught it as well), but eventually lost it to a kid, all three did rock paper scissors for it. Young Buck had stage dived and landed slightly in front and to the left of me, to which the kid next to me snatched his du-rag off of his head, and me caught up in the moment just touched his shoulder, don't ask why, I guess just so I could say I touched Young Buck haha."
Daren and his friend Ryan were having a blast at the Eminem concert, and suddenly after Eminem performed Cleanin' Out my Closet, he picked his red hat off of his head, and tossed it into the audience. "It kinda went up and then basically caught by the air resistance and took a nose dive straight down" Daren said. "Ryan then reached back and pulled it off the air." Ryan is about 6'5. “He was kind of in awe obviously, like 'Holy shit!', and then a few seconds passed and I'm like 'Dude tuck that under your shirt', cause of how everyone was acting for the entire concert I expected someone to try and grab it."
Since then, Emadyville and Ryan have switched ownership of the hat once a year every August. This may be hard to believe by some TRshady members, such as Drunkendeath. "Lock your doors tonight, and board up your windows..." he joked. "lol at display case, Eminem is just another human" said ScottyBoy. "We switch ownership each year because Ryan always knew I was a huge Eminem fan, as he was." Daren said. "I paid for his second ticket (the $250 ticket) or the difference of the original $90, and because of that, along with me being a Stan, he came up with the switching ownership idea. So every year since then on August 8th, the anniversary, we exchange the hat."
Macdaddy019967 said "Wow I'm jealous. I almost caught Eminem's hat at the anger management tour 3 in California but I missed it by an inch. I was so f##kin pissed."
There were four Eminem concerts of 2005 during July in California. Daren said "and for anyone who doesn't believe it's really the hat, all I have to say is that this whole story is 100% true."
The next morning, Daren woke up to see his window smashed and the display case with the hat missing. Well, um. Not really.
