I heard that God kills a kitten per F5, during BN pre-orders. Can someone confirm or deny?

That sucks. Hopefully four non-flippers will be able to get in on your canceled order.

I received the same error [can't purchase because someone else is buying the last copy] on random Big Cartel orders in the past. Sometimes on items that continued to be in stock weeks after receiving said error. I'm willing to bet I was among the first 10 people to add this to my cart. Went back to grab a blue-black swirl for a friend, and noticed my black had vanished. Tried adding again: error. Took about five or six re-adds to get it to finally stick, and successfully check out. Hopefully the order is legit.

No.

Jesus God. Some things you just don't joke about. A flip-massacre is on the horizon; they'll be writing about this one in the history books.

Congrats on breaking $200 for it, Gord. Not to sound like a dick, but I think that the shard pattern and colors on the $317 one look a lot more attractive than the ones on your copy. Does that justify the $100+ difference, though? Not by a long shot. Still nothing to remotely gripe about, though.

What if a secret society of flippers - of roughly 750 or so - banded together to follow AFSR at the last minute? Everyone would go to bed thinking that the release would be on Monday, only to log in sometime tomorrow and find all the rare variants sold out. Don't think it can't happen. Everyone knows shit gets serious when Brand New's involved.

They should be available at CYLS, too. (Just not yet.) Depending on the cost and shipping, I'm debating whether or not it'd be worth it to place an order for each color, through each of them.

I was under the impression we'd be able to grab one of each color, at the most. Hmm. I'll have to look into that. 'Twould be a bummer, but I could live with just a copy on green.

No problem. Also; ++ I'm definitely digging the green a bit more, but I went ahead and grabbed both. I'm proud to be a merch-whore for this band.

Anyone who's subscribed to Deep Elm's mailing list: you (should) officially have a link to purchase this record, in your inbox, as of... two minutes ago. Just saying.

Flipping records is pretty neat. It gets you street cred.

I'm grateful it's happening, sure, but the whole "alright, March release! Okay, uhh, April release! ... May!--be?" scenario has gone stale. Shit happens. Last I heard, the test press had broken twice. When it gets released, I'll buy it. Not holding my breath until then.

I liked the S/T/W board before it became a gigantic eBay promotion. There was something admirable about shooting offers through PMs, and working out a fair trade before tossing the records up on eBay. But don't get me wrong. Get them shards! Weekend Bump! is equally cool.

Nope.

Those are some surprisingly affordable hookers. Proceed with caution.

Yeah, seriously. Such a disappointment. On a vaguely related note: what did you think of the concert? I had never seen Circa live, prior to lastnight. Anthony is one eccentric dude, but his presence and energy on stage is undeniably awesome.

On where, again?

Nice one, man. Sure beats the $150 fanclub version.

$51, complete with shipping. I went with a slightly better backing board, and there were a few cheaper, thinner frame options. You could probably do it for $40-$45. Thanks for the feedback, guys. If anyone hasn't picked up the poster and is considering doing so, I'd highly recommend going for it. It's a super-quality print, and like Nolan said... there's just no denying how beautiful the actual art and concept is. I know I wouldn't have sprung for a custom frame if the lithograph was mediocre looking.

So glad I took your suggestion. Frame arrived today; assembly was a breeze. Apologies for my phone's lacking quality. Perfect fit, and the price was right. Definitely going to be using them for future framing needs.

This is the part where jaws drop.

Looks like we already have a winner. By about six bucks, and with six hours to spare. Can't wait to see what some of the last-minute clutch bids will jump the price up to. Definitely the most I've seen the shards go for.

Because these are so rare and sold out within a matter of minutes I accidentally picked up two copies of the clear and white cross instead of a copy of each colour whilst rushing to check out. Yup.
