    I was just thinking yesterday about the name of the band.  Might be the most genius marketing gimmick in the history of band names. Perhaps the only thing that could top it would be a band named Sheep. 
    I often wonder if the band laughs at their fans wearing a shirt that says TOOL on it?!?

    Edit:  Some of the fonts make it look like it says FOOL on them too.  That cracked me up.
    My cousin and I laughed at one that looked like it said Toot in Auckland 😂
    Stars are suns to other people.

    Are they still selling merchandise outside before the shows? Driving in for tomorrows show and don't want to get there that early if I don't have to. 

    Yes...and getting there early is pretty much your only chance of scoring a poster.

    outside the venue? I haven't seen that

    There was a booth open outside the San Francisco show. The same at the Fresno show in 2020. Maybe it's not at all shows?

    This sounds right... as I understand it, there was an outdoor booth in Louisville as well, but I don't believe there was one in Boston or Buffalo.

    If you’re ever in the front section on the floor, it’s always a good idea to give it a quick scan when the house lights come up, you never know what you might score.

    Yup. 

    Was just talking w/ a couple guys from the production team at the airport. One was a sound guy (Nobby, featured here https://www.tpimagazine.com/tool-outfits-with-heil-sound-microphones-for-world-tour/) & a light guy, Liam. Liam was nice enough to give me one of Adam’s picks. Leaving Cleveland w/ a couple unexpected souvenirs which is nice.

    anyone else's FI have dishing in one or more of the records? Record 1 is minor, 2 very minimal if at all. 3 could serve as a shallow bird bath...
    4 is half of 3 in depth. Need to platter 5 to see how that one is.

    5 is dished as well. Vinyl flat has been ordered with the pouch.

    Yes and had some odd noise towards the end. Listened twice and not sure if it was my speakers or the record
