I got tickets for Champaign. Searched right when they went on sale. Tried for GA at first, none available. Searched again and got section 110 Row 1. 

Row 1? Nice! I see yours are side view too. Do you have any experience with arena concerts and that view?

Any peeps get tickets to the champaign show?  Got home from work at 7 am and set my alarm for 845 but ended up sleeping through it till 1140. Ended up getting section 121 row 10. Happy to have tickets and to finally see them play, but bummed knowing I could have gotten better seats in a similar price range. I've never had seats on the end corner of a stage before, so I'm not sure what to expect. Anyone have experience with that?

I saw they have an exclusive ticket Pre sale access for Capital One users and that the Champaign, IL presales through that would be July 10th.  Is that also true if you get access through album preorder or is that date still June 26?

I got to hear this album and wow...unbelievably good. Still sounds like Touche but as always they've taken another step forward.

 

Lucky! Great news

He's responsive to emails

Thank you! Same one he sends updates on new prints, right?

Have any of you contacted Esao before? I need to change something with the shipping of my prints and was wondering what is the best way to contact him.

I am feeling like it's a dick move, but I've gone and cancelled my deluxe order from KRM. Reality set in that I shouldn't be spending any more money at this time. Especially on something that may still be available a bit down the road.

 

 

Gotta do what ya gotta do

Touché is always my most anticipated. AOTY for me even if it fuckin sucks (yeah right) and without hearing shit from it.

If I do grab one I'll probably go for the Stray II. The original Stray print is one of my favorites by him. Would kill for that one.

Same. Love the OG

Can't decide what I want more. Leaning towards the stray II. Good on him for the timed edition this go around. I think it's a good compromise. Everyone that wants one has time to get one, and he'll sell a bunch I'm sure.

Those are gender neutral pronouns. Not that uncommon now.

i know what it is but it's the first time I've seen it used, believe it or not

Pretty cool read. It took me a while to realize the writer was referring to Holden using "they" and "their".  It kept confusing the heck out of me until I realized what they were doing. First time I've seen anyone referred too/written about in that way. Pretty cool. 

The album is awesome. I was pretty worried that I might not like it cause the singles didn't seem to have that cathartic aggression that hits super hard like they did with Home. But this thing is so beautiful. Just an entire different beast. I totally think Holden and the band nailed it when they tried to give it an uneasy/off balanced feel. I think that's the perfect way to describe it. Just an off balanced and open beauty. There is something special about the music these guys make. I haven't really been able to connect with any music the past couple years. There's been a lot of great stuff that I've enjoyed. But these guys, it's just like, FUCK, ya know?

I really, REALLY hope they go with that cause purple would look gorgeous, and I don't think they've ever done a purple variant before.

I have a few in mind for it, too.

I believe the tour variant for waking season was purple. More lavender but pretty close. Regardless purple would look great

Was hoping for a classic blues choke fest. Almost had it. The blues were definitely the better team, I can admit that. Surprised it got to 7. Anyway, go caps!

I got to do the meet and greet and they were all really nice but you could tell they were tired. Aaron told me they all got an upper respiratory infection like a week in and they are beat to shit from it but it didn't seem to affect the live show at all. Spencer also asked during the show if the fans would like to have them back for more shows, so that's a pretty good sign for the future. I didn't ask during the meet and greet cuz I thought it would be lame and I just wanted to just shoot the shit anyway. You will have fun if you get the VIP/meet and greet. Also FUCKING CASPIAN.

Saw Underoath last night. They put on an awesome show and sounded great too. Super high energy, super cool vibe. It all had a celebratory feel to it. Glad they are playing shows again. For those who are going to upcoming dates, you're in for a real treat!

Finally got to see Caspian for the first time last night. They sounded absolutely massive. Awesome light show too. Anyone who hasn't, absolutely needs to see them live. Goosebumps the entire set. Got to chat with Philip a bit as they were prepping for sound check so that was cool. All around a really great night!

I'd be surprised if he didn't get suspended at least for the rest of the season. It will be interesting to see how the league handles the situation.

Scored on the 7" and /300. Now I'm late for today's chemo treatment but for The Hotelier and Tiny Engines, cancer can wait!

Agreed with the positive comments about packaging. This thing flows absolutely perfectly. Proper will probably always be my favorite of his but I think this is definitely his best work to date.

Waiting for this PO got me all sorts of anxious. The art was jarring at first, but I really don't see it being an issue for me personally. I mean it's just some pee pees, China's and bewbies

Grew up listening to underoath, personally love their live show. So naturally I was stoked when they announced a new tour. But I am more excited hearing this than I was the initial announcement. I've wanted to see caspian live for a long time. I was stuck in the hospital the last time they came through Chicago. This should get them a lot of exposure and they deserve it.

It's charging me 30 for shipping.....
