We could have talked to Steve Davies (@blazercollector) for hours! Not only does he have a spectacular collection of Blazer memorabilia from the beginning of the franchise, he has an incredibly thoughtful approach to archiving the history of our beloved team. Tune in to learn more about how he got started, how things have changed, and hear stories of more than 50 years of being a Blazer fan with a passion for preserving history.

1:00 Icebreaker

4:45 Get to know Steve Davies

27:50 Front offices don't always think like us. They are looking at the future, not always paying attention to preserving the past.

48:00 Making friends, finding family in Rip City.

54:00 Why context of items is so important to a living collection.

59:00 Takes: Love on your team, Memorial Coliseum is the better venue, appreciation for players who never actually played with the Blazers.

Join us on Discord! It's a place where we can share our love for the Blazers, talk about games, and get to know other Blazer fans. Kind of like Twitter but it's not. There are different channels with different topics and you can join in where you want, and ignore the stuff you don't want to see. Give it a try! You can also still find us on Twitter: @wehaveatake, @tcbbiggs @roselharding
