I'm proud to say "I DID NOT BUY PJ vs AMES" Book!!!!

edited June 2009 in The Porch
I just want to say, with all the talk about people paying $200 for a picture book that has a signature on it, I didn't buy this piece of chit! I also didn't buy the $50 one... I do plan on checking it out out at my library, then flipping through the pages as fast as I can so I can get a feeling for the progression of great posters to recent SHIT!
The only way I would ever spend $200 on this PIECE of crap is if I had hopes of cutting up the little pictures and trying to flip them on ebay like the other assholes who do it, taking advantage of the fans who don't know better...
Sorry, I just hate this stupid book and all the other overpriced CRAP the 10C has been selling, while amazing things like Klausen's Dusseldorf poster sit in their warehouse collecting dust while the flippers on ebay are charging 10X what it is worth because it was only sold at the concert and on BK's site...
OK, enough rambling, have a great day...

    Dude, it's just a book. You didn't order it? Fine. Go find something real to be upset about.

    It's all about the Benjamins! I really hope they all start wearing a bunch of bling and gold grills! Why should Stone be the only "playa" in the band, they all got cream!

    $50 is very affordable. Should the band only offer items that EVERYONE can afford?

    Perhaps you should try to earn more money/budget your money better, instead of expecting the 10C to cater to YOU!
    :)

    (If $50 is unaffordable to you due to some major illness, etc., then I take back everything I said!)

    the $50 book could easily cost twice as much if the sold it at barnes and noble or borders or any other book store. its good stuff.
    Take time to see the sky,
    Find shapes in the clouds.
    Hear the murmur of the wind
    and touch the cool water.
    Walk softly,
    we are intruders,
    tolerated briefly
    In an infinite universe.

    perhaps you should reserve judgement on " this piece of chit " for someone who actually bought it . :confused:
    and , if you would have reserved judgement until you looked at it , you would know that it starts out with the more recent posters ( 06s ) , then it goes back in history as you get towatrd the back of the book.- Just so you know .

    I can understand why people didn't shell out the $200, it is a lot of money. But there was an edition of the book that cost far less than $200 :)

    I bet if EMEK signed the book you'd have payed $200 for it :) (LOL)
    If EMEK signed it, no. If it had an EMEK image in it and he signed it, maybe.
    I hate ames!

    nah, I wouldn't pay .25 for a piece of an easystreet poster... had it been the full image, smaller, on velvet, whatever, I'd be a little annoyed I didn't buy it... but about 1/10 of a poster? a nose of the creature? no thanks!

    Couldn't have typed it better myself. I guess it is nice for those that want the choice though.

    i thought it was a pretty steep price for a book as well.

    I never intended to buy place/date either, but at the 2000 seattle shows they we're selling them with the posters, so for 30 bux you got a poster and a book (couldn't buy the poster by itself). They were sell the 10c version of place/date and the store version, I was lucky enough to get the hard covered 10c version.

    I'm with the OP. Rant on, brotha!

    I've spent so much cash on this band over the years ... and now that I'm older, I realize the only things worth buying are concert tix and albums! I was young, I was dumb ... but that's okay cause I do have some cool stuff to look at while I struggle to pay bills.

    Actually, the 10C did sell the Dusseldorf poster.
