    F.  No way I'd try to scoop up a "would-be" $300 haul of vinyl on the aftermarket, either.  I can especially relate to the struggle of having to drive just for a chance to show up and maybe buy something – that was my situation for years.  I've never taken a day off for RSD, either, so they weren't even feasible when I used to work weekend.

     

    Was that what you witnessed this year?  Gotta' be an especially grueling / boring lineup if everyone is spaced out and encouraged not to socialize too closely.  I've never done an overnight lineup for RSD but I imagine they're only manageable with good company.  Remove that aspect and it's just a bunch of pretentious assholes waiting in the cold to get dibs on a limited record.

    I didn't go out this year since I was pet-sitting but it seems like every shop near LA I would go to was doing some sort of distance line-up or other way to limit people. Your right too, the best memories are being out super early and chatting with people, making plans to help each other so everyone gets what they want.

    The Bull Moose cancelations are kind of dumb.  Can someone explain to me the real strategy of keeping these exclusive for October?  The idea of splitting up RSD into multiple dates was to stagger the mass appeal of releases, thereby reducing the number of bodies in a store... right?  Why not have a day - last weekend - to celebrate the "in store" experience, and then take the rest online?  If people want to place orders and spend money now – which won't actually leave their bank until end of October – why halt it?  Seems pretty dumb to me, and gives customers a chance to lose interest or shop around.  As a seller, I'd want to lock that shit in now.  I know it's more an RSD policy than a Bull Moose one, so clearly my critique needs some redirection.  But RSD spirit is in the air, and we're all in it, doing our best to not breathe it in too much.  But just on VC, I mean: helping one another with links.  Rejoicing in those clutch restocks that seem too good to be true, but actually end up shipping.  Finding that 1 sweet listing on Discogs and racing through checkout.  Banding together and covering our assholes from scalpers on the prowl.  It's community.  It's a good vibe for as shitty and frustrating as RSD tends to be.  Why part that out into a bunch of tiny, frustrating days?  There's two more scheduled releases of this shit?

    I live in Los Angeles and I can't imagine a world (or shop no matter how much I love my local spots) where I want to social distance line up at the crack of dawn for 1 or 2 items. I don't know what the best way to handle it is but this was truly worse than usual.

    Someone’s selling a couple of tour variants on ebay. Looks different from pic here 

    I'll  be back home tomorrow and take some more pics, the one I found on eBay looks like mine (at least the little bit peeking out of the inner-sleeve). I don't remember what the mockup was, but my receipt is "NEON YELLOW AND RED CLOUDY [tour/band exclusive]"
