In late 2011 I designed a wooden Triad for my desk & after falling in love with the project so much, I decided to have 50 more made; making up what I eventually named the 'Triad Cinquante' (this means 50 in French).
After deciding to fly to New York City for MARS300 week in December, I had 10 sent express to me during production so that I was able to personally hand one each to Jared, Shannon and Tomo at the Meet & Greet at the first NYC show.
Jared received number 001 'This is War', Shannon received number 002 and Tomo received number 003 'Echelon'.
I claimed number 006 'In defence of our dreams' and I gave the rest away to very special Echelon, throughout the week - many of which had them signed by the band. And in the words of Shannon Leto himself: "These things are so f**king cool!"
Since then, I have given all of them away to special people and friends around the world, and even though I will probably never know, I would like to think that Jared, Shannon and Tomo still have theirs somewhere. :)
See Triad Deux for my second edition of Triads, and how they ended up as official MARS merch!
