SHIT!! If you’ve got a cool collection of DVDs, movie posters, toys, comic books, figurines, an awesome home theater set-up that you just have to share with the rest of the world of movie nerds who reside on this very site, this column is for you! Just read the requirements below and drop us a line at showusyourshit@joblo.com with pics, videos and commentary about your nifty stuff and your collection might be the next one up here.
REQUIREMENTS:
1) Please include any basic personal info on yourself, so others could know who the f*ck you are. Age, sex, geographical location, what you do in life, etc….
2) Take some pictures or videos of any cool shit you have in your pad, and send it along with your message to us. Make sure that every picture/video is explained and you don’t just send us a bunch of pics and say “Here’s my shit!”, cause that’s not what we’re looking for. We need some words attached to the pics, what they are, where you might’ve got it, shit like that.

Name: Chris Davies-Rowan
Where: Victoria, BC
Age: 26
Job: Line Cook
My name is Chris Davies-Rowan and I live in Victoria, BC in Canada. I’m a 26 year old Line Cook of 6 years and I only make 20,000 or less a YEAR! That’s monetary dedication to my Geekdom! I’ve been collecting shit since I could sit up, starting with dubbed tapes from TV and dupes from the old rental store. I seriously started buying and collecting when I was in the 10th grade of High School and have dedicated at least 30-40% of my income to my collection since I started working!

This is my entertainment set-up. The choice came down to a huge t.v. and a console, or a moderate T.V. and ALL consoles. As you can see, I went with the latter. 27′ Samsung still ain’t bad. Consoles: Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, Wii
This is my games and such shelf (no order). The middle two DVD shelves are Discs I haven’t watched yet! I have about 200 games on multiple systems. Top 2 DVD shelves are comedies, Docs, and TV mostly.
Unwatched Discs….seen most of the ‘A’ movies in theatre, just haven’t gotten around to spinnin’ the discs.
Zatoichi posters
