Unlike what you're doing now – looking specifically for something to say you found it – this CD tells the story of what happens when two people find something they had no idea they were looking for.
And though you can't tell from the content of the CD, the story also teaches a valuable lesson about the importance of good taste in footwear.
Meet Jase and Trace, who were members of an internet forum, unrelated to geocaching.
One day Jase, who is flush with opinions and sybaritic leanings, responded to a thread about cowboy boots and shared his opinion that a certain brand of boots, high quality boots, not your average Justin's or Tony Lama's, were the absolute best brand of boot you can by.
Unbeknownst to Jase, Trace was reading the thread, and apparently wanting for cowboy boots. In fact, Jase and Trace had never really spoken on the forum before and didn't really speak in the thread in question.
Weeks after the thread, a flashing icon alerted Jase to a private message, wherein Trace confessed to him that she took his advice and ordered a pair of said boots and now her tootsies were in podiatric nirvana. Small talk ensues. Small talk continues. Small talk evolves into day-long conversations.
Conversations were usually punctuated by talk about music. Not just any music, but the kind of music they had listened to during their high school and college years (the Say Anything era) and they find that their tastes in music aren't just similar, they're largely identical.
Small talk eventually leads to more than just talk and the next thing they know, they fall in love.
They begin to talk about songs, from the past, that remind each other of the other person, or that they listen to and find strength in. The result of those talks is the CD you're now holding. RS, the definitive collection are the songs we love, the songs that remind us of our love, the songs that defined who we were back then, and to a degree, who we are right now.
We believe they tell an amazing love story, and hope you'll like it.
This travel bug doesn't have a mission per se. Like us, it would like to get out and see the world. But mainly we want people to give it a listen and perhaps have a laugh. Maybe the CD will call to mind memories of your past, or maybe the songs aren't recognizable but you'll find them catchy or you'll hear the lyrics and you'll "get" what we're all about.
Most of all we hope that the love you have is as amazing as the love we share. If you've not found that love of your life, we hope you find it. Maybe even when you're not looking.
