Agreed.

If anyone cares, Brad sent an email asking for the extra $50, which I happily sent.

Good to see you got one!

if shopify doesn’t work as well for some folks… i don’t know how to address that. I know the banner on the shopify store effects the clickability of the images but i guess in landscape this isn't an issue 

but if the site doesn’t work as it should for some people and works fine for others… i don’t know how to fix that or if it’s something i could  even address and is not based on each person’s individual device / internet service 

i wish it worked the same for everyone… i don’t know why it doesn’t 

I had the same issue with Napa Valley last year, so this isn't a new issue.  Still bummed to not even get on the list for any cancelations bacj then.  (I did message/emailed you requesting to)   congrats to all who scored today or via a cancelation. 

Don't message/email an artist asking for preferential treatment, by asking if you can buy a sold out poster in case of a cancelled order, after missing on a drop. It's not cool.
Artists get inundated all of the time with emails from people asking to be put on a list to buy a sold out poster.

I’ve politely messaged artists a bunch of time asking if they have any left over copies of a poster available.  Sometimes I’ve sent these inquiries years after a poster sold out. And I’ve managed to score some great posters at really reasonable prices.  Most times I don’t get any answer at all and that’s fine. But I’ve never received an annoyed reply from an artist or been told I’m bothering them. They all have “contact” information posted on their sites for a reason. 

I’ve politely written artists on a few occasions and had very gracious conversations with them about their art, and a few times it’s worked out that they’ve had extra copies. One of them was 20 years after a show, and at a very reasonable price. I certainly wouldn’t do this for every single poster I miss out on, but I agree: they do have contact information for a reason.

Same, and sometimes its worked. No ones ever told me to get lost or that the email was annoying, I suppose its all in the approach.

Are you seeing more than the trucker hat?

Yeah, but thats it.... I see them both now. 
Also... that trucker hat is incredibly tight vs others that Chris (MRTSURT) has used.

I just noticed the retro hat and the duffel bag

When I first saw the hat at the beginning of the tour, I thought it was sort of weird looking and might not be popular. Boy was I wrong, I went to both Nashville and Pittsburgh shows and those hats were everywhere.  

TahoeJeff

I'm so glad that the hat is available. I didnt grab one in Nashville and regretted it! Ordered it immediately....well, after I bought a ticket for Mariners Ten club night

susannj

Same here! I didn't get a chance to get any merch from Nashville and got the hat as well 

JG242853

Somebody grab that poster. One of the better ones on the tour, especially if you were at that show

runstaples

There goes the ebay duffel bag market! Yay!

ZoSoTim

Damn, wasn’t expecting this at all. Had a buddy grab me the hat in Nashville but I’ve been eyeing that bag since last year but refused to pay flipper prices.

@bradklausen is great on the board and his work is always very good.

Indeed.

Sorry if this has been answered, how is the quality of the duffel bag? Is it weekend travel bag? Is there a separate laptop side pocket? Thanks for any information about the bag! I appreciate it

You must be new around these parts. The general rule is: "Buy now, ask questions later!".
Otherwise, the item sells out, and you miss out.
Just joking (not joking) but in answer to your questions - I have no idea.
And I bought one this morning, along with the cap.

I believe the consensus is, the straps may need reinforcement where they attach to the bag.
if it's not carrying heavy things  -you could be fine - but there will likely need to be reinforcements if anything too heavy is put in.

I prefer the 2023 tour bag and 2024 ten club member bag
