hype Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 It looks pretty awesome with The Mummies performing as well. I wish I was even remotely close but like you I would love to have either of those White Stripe albums in my collection because you know once they hit the secondary market I do not even want to see the prices.

MtrCtyWx Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Definitely going to make a trek downtown for this but am expecting to wait in insane lines. Regardless, Third Man doesn't cut corners and the whole event should be fun (just not easy on my wallet.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sh_tluck Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I got mad just seeing that stl_ben is going. Hopefully there's a limit 1 per release. vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always have a one per person limit?! Why are you mad I'm going? Upset my TMR collection will be better than yours ?

Upset my TMR collection will be better than yours ? (It probably already is). I'm sure your collection it is a lot better then mine, no bullshit. Just so many people in here want copies (me included). I'd hate to see someone on here get an extra copy of something and flip it instead of helping one of us out. I'm more mad at the culture of Third Man flipping in general then I am with you. Since I don't know you and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Why not just go instead of getting mad that some stranger is going? Im literally taking off work and flying up there just for this. I have traveled all over the country for TMR events like this, they are always fun and full of great people. unknown pleasures 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 So much there that I'd love. But standing in line for hours would give me anxiety. And, if then when I got in, shit was sold out already, I'd lose it. hammertime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
