that is correct. i have that promo tape.

are you just referring to Futures? because i got Static Prevails in the same order and that was colored. i didn't know that! but that's the thing..... my Static Prevails came from Amoeba Hollywood and so that one is colored. Futures is coming from their kentucky warehouse so maybe it won't be blue... i have no idea. it arrives next tuesday. they said i could return it as long as it's unopened.

got mine yesterday. it wasn't shrink wrapped but the jacket was in perfect condition.

i just ordered futures from amoeba with their 15% off deal and didn't realize there is a black vinyl version as well as the blue. it hasn't arrived yet, but are there any identifiers that would let you know prior to opening if it's the colored vinyl option? i also got static prevails from amoeba and that arrived already because it shipped from 30 miles away (as opposed to their warehouse in KY) and it didn't have any indication that it was the lavendar. i know it all sounds the same but i really like how the blue looks in going along with the theme of the album art and their recent tour (blue lighting and all). if it's not the blue, i will probably send it back and get the one i want for cheaper on discogs. i only ordered through amoeba because of the sale, free shipping and i was already ordering a bunch of other things.

i was just at their show last night and didn't see it at their merch booth so i managed to save myself the money. i already have this album but damn that cover sure was tempting.

ya, you're right on the capacity for the observatory. i had to look it up though, crazy, it seemed bigger than that. i've been bunches of times since it's about 15 min from my house. i'm going to the HWM show tomorrow also!

i do, too. i just saw against me! play in a tiny room and it was AWESOME. what i meant was the canyon club is kind of a weird venue (here is a calendar of upcoming events, so you get an idea... http://www.canyonclub.net/html/schedule.html) and it's a place with a capacity of 1500 but there were only maybe like 100 people there, if that? i think the shows in OC will be better because there is probably a larger group of F2F fans in the area and its surrounding area who will totally get behind and sing along to all the songs on any of the 3 albums being played as opposed to just 100 people who don't yet know the words to the new album and are therefore just tapping their toes until "disconnected" is played. haha.

it was nice but i think these 3 shows will be more fun. the energy at the local venue... for koljou, it was the canyon club (lol)... was kind of dead. it was really more fun just to say i saw face to face 15 min away from my hometown when most bands i like never come that close. newbury park! my ex-bf before i met my husband lived in agoura so i spent a lot of time there and my high school job was in westlake village.

saw that coming when she chose the black over the red at the end of last episode.

ya, i think all 3 nights would be great to go to, but i can't afford it (hello property tax, xmas and all the other shows i'm going to lately), let alone get my folks to watch my kid 3 nights in a row right after xmas so i picked the night of the album i love the most. it is indeed nice living in southern CA. i got to see them play in agoura hills, which is really close to where i grew up, in some local venue a little bit ago when laugh now laugh later came out, so that was cool.

i'm going to night one. don't turn away is one of my favorite albums, can't pass up the opportunity to hear it live in its entirety.

all these personalized notes from adam makes me wish i had waited and ordered direct from him rather than midheaven. nothing against the latter, i would just totally geek out over getting a tiny message/drawing from a member of a band i love.

ooooh sorry. was it liked before 3am last night? just curious. can't really change anything now. i already had my kid pick a name out of a bucket. either way, i appreciate it. SEXY! haha.

winner winner chicken dinner. i'm PMing you right now.

did you vote? just wanna know if i should include you in the drawing. so i got 3rd which i'm pretty happy with. it's the same prize as 2nd and i know i had no hope of 1st (pretty sure that person bought likes). my gratitude goes out to those who helped. i think there were a few who threw a like over and didn't post in here so i appreciate you guys, too! <3 i'll post who won by tonight and send him or her a PM for contact info. thanks again!

haha. i saw that. (the like, not the pitched tent!). thanks a bunch. i was in 2nd with a lead of 30 when i went to bed at 2am. woke up and now i'm in a distant 3rd by over 150 votes. lol. deadline is 3am PST tonight so if anyone else can throw the likes at me to help me hold 3rd place, i'd appreciate it!

haha, ya....... i got an influx of very specific followers and some interesting DMs on instagram so i had to switch it to private for a bit. thanks to those who have voted!

ok, ya sure, i have a couple doubles in my collection that i could part with. so yes, if anyone "like"s the pic, posts in here and i win 1st place optimally (although since that's probably unattainable, i'd still settle for 2nd or 3rd), i'll send a record out to you! (how do i get this moved to the vinyl forum?). and merci beaucoup daderson drowell. don't worry, i understood what you were getting at and that is not bad at all! nah, unfortunately, likes on IG don't count. i posted a link to where you could vote on my IG and people kept liking that pic instead so i took it down, haha. i appreciate the thought though. you can ask anyone you know to vote also!

that is a good idea. i'll think about what i have to offer, if anything. if i do that, do i post it here or in the vinyl section of this forum?

thanks people! i'm close to 3rd. really, i'll be stoked if i get 3rd because 2nd and 3rd place prizes are the same. haha. 1st place would be great but unattainable, i think. that chick has 100+ more votes than me.

right on, haha. thank you!

not as risqué as you would think, but i would like to win or at least place! i basically had to submit a style or look featuring tights into a contest to win a pair of shoes or stockings, and surprisingly ended up being a finalist. however, i'm in last place so i thought i'd ask for some votes in the form of "like"s from you guys on this photo right here: https://www.facebook.com/galerieslafayette/photos/a.10152828694454767.1073741890.51624954766/10152828694844767/?type=3&theater needs to be voted upon by noon paris time or 3am PST on nov 7th. totally appreciate it! edit: as i posted further down in the thread, if i win 1st place, (although since the current girl in 1st currently has 200 likes, i'd be pleased with 2nd or 3rd), i will send a random person who "like"s the pic and posts in here that he/she did a record.

ya wow, the show has picked up. i didn't originally like it in the beginning because it was kind of... choppy. but it's gotten better. last week was pretty good with the spirit of the goat and then i thought it would drop off once they returned to maroni/fish/falcone. (honestly, not that into jada pinkett-smith's character), but this last episode was pretty good, too. the story is coming together nicely.

didn't he kill that one (teenaged) kid in the house during the gyp rosetti season?

i didn't notice it at the time that i was watching it but i read something later that said it was.
