  1. I am not a hiker, and currently not in shape.

     

    I turn 30 on July 1st and wanted to do something big for it, so on June 26th I fly to Vegas.. will be getting a car and doing 5 National Parks in Utah (Zion, Arches, Canyonlands, Capital Reef, Bryce), as well as Lake Powell, Grand Canyon, Goblin Valley & Monument Valley.

     

    Going to be quite the test for my first trip hiking.

    The other reply about hydration is spot on. It will likely be extremely hot and that type of heat isn't something you want to mess with. 

     

    Zion has some unbelievable hikes, some of which aren't for those afraid of heights(me). Angels Landing is awesome - the last stretch has exposed dropoffs 1500+ feet straight down and chains to hold onto. That time of year though, you'll want to be up early before it gets even hotter in midday. Bryce might be a better bet for longer hikes. It's much higher in elevation and will be a ton cooler.

  2. I think they were just taken aback by some of the over the top rage that the drop never happened. Yeah, people waited around thinking they'd have a shot, but nobody forced them to.

     

    There was some mention they made of having over a million hits when the server was getting hammered, but that isn't really all that many unique users when you take into account that most were cranking F5 for the entire afternoon. They honestly thought they'd be able to handle the traffic since they had upgraded from the last incident. 

     

    As long as they press plenty more so that everyone can snag one it will be worth the wait. The RSD release was 1500(I think), so I bet they could sell 500 to 1000 pretty easily.

  3. Local shop had both Metallica and swans when I was in today, but shipping from Canada, so that adds $15 to price. i think Metallica was $22 and swans was $28 - all prices Canadian. PM me if you are still interested.

    I apologize if this is common knowledge, but the Metallica release will be on vinyl later this year which for anyone that doesn't need the cassette. 

  4. I guess I was one of the lucky ones, got a order confirmation for my White Stripes order.

    I hope you did, but I got one of those right after I placed mine too. They said you'd need a separate ship confirmation email as well.

    All of these items are now fully sold out, and if you didn't receive a shipping confirmation from us (saying "Your Siren Disc Order Is Now Being Processed") we were not able to fill your order.
  5. I've become numb to their terribleness. It's expected now. Cheering for this team is not fun.

    As a Toronto fan I relate 100%. But some of the 'this organization is so imcompetent for so long stuff' is pointless. The Oilers are down, but they still have an amazing history with the greatest player who ever lived, and EVERY team has (sometime long) periods of being garbage.

  6. I have no idea how limits/licensing with these distributors works, but why don't they just take preorders for BCS through an arbitrary date(this Friday for example) and then fill all of them.

     

    They make more money, and get a ton of happy and returning customers.
