One thing that was eye opening for me about merch this year was how many people say "wait on line" vs "wait in line" . Have I been saying it wrong my entire life?

That's some weird ass East Coast shit. I never heard it until listening to Howard Stern radio show and they say "On line" all the time....fools.

Possibly the same folks who pronounce the word "especially" as "exspecially"...
Language is fascinating in how it evolves. Apparently it's a small area in NY that has developed that regional distinction -- waiting "in" line is definitely more common.

The south takes the R's that Boston doesn't use (pahk, cah, etc) and adds them to words. Like warsh (for wash). 🤪

My sister absolutely loses it when people talk about warshing the car or laundry. She moved to Fargo ND a while back and now when I talk to her she is picking up the accent up there, so I have to give her grief about it.
Surprises me they don't sell more leftovers online once the tour is over
Same, but they guarantee it all moves through mystery boxes. Otherwise I’m sure some items would never sell out.
Yep. The mystery boxes are pretty cool, but sometimes I wish they could put some of the left over tour merch online for us to purchase.
It would disincentivize people to wait on line at the show.
Honestly, the 10c poster drops and mystery boxes already do that for me. I drove down to the Paint Can the day of PIT N1, saw that crazy line and thought, I'll try my luck with the 10c drop. I got everything I wanted from Seattle 2018 once the mystery boxes dropped the next year.
Seattle 18 was mass produced. 10 days or whatever of selling merch. Pitt had a set amount. You won't find many in any upcoming mystery boxes but I bet youll still get seattle 18 posters!
There won't be anything from the Pittsburgh shows because they didn't make enough of it (you won't find anything from Pitt either because that's the school and they didn't play there)
That's fair. I'm assuming from your handle that you're a PITT fan, how do you feel about Zebs nod to PITT with the Panther on his poster?
Alum. All the Pitt references crack me up and drive me nuts at the same time lol. If you showed the references to anyone in the city you would get some confused looks.
Had to buy it automatically because of it. Luckily I was able to get the AP, but I won't lie I wasn't overly crazy about it at first. It looks way better in person than it does in a picture. Vampire weekend had a very good print from their show the other night with a panther on it. If I was a fan I'd be all over it (and I think it's a better print tbh).

It sounds like it's more of a new York thing I guess? I had the same reaction listening to the show even they would say it lol

I was really surprised that a reference to the arena being refered to as the Paint Can wasnt used. Other contenders was a play on the Kennywood sign but as PJ, or a poster with a Mr Rogers type figure.

Stone as Mr. Rogers would have been cool. Him as a headless knight from the London show was pretty cool.
My work productivity is going to shit until that Klausen drops.

Probably easier not to ship them but at least they'll sell out in a millisecond on his site
Even if he sold them at $300 ea, they'd fly.

My bud and I travel the US to see as many PJ shows as we can (like most of us here) and Pitts N1 and N2 were on the books. We live on opposite ends of the country and we both traveled into Pittsburgh for the 2 shows. We lined up early on the 16th to make sure we could hit the merch as soon as the doors opened. What a poster! We always skip the outdoor sales tent, but we never get shut out of a poster.
As soon as the doors opened we ran in, there was already a line for the merch table at the front door. A guy working at the venue told about 4-5 of us, "hey there's no line upstairs!" We ran up the stairs and down the halls to the merch stands on the upper levels, and the Klausen posters were there! ... But already the longest line I have ever seen behind both tables. Reluctantly, we got in line. While we waited, we chatted with those around us. All of them had been sent up to this line by the same guy downstairs lol.
You know how this part goes, by the time we reached the table the posters were gone... But hey epic show that night.
We scoured Brad Klausen's Instagram posts and saw that he was going to release 100 artist variants on his website that Sunday... We were determined to get it this time. We had 2 phones and a computer set up at the right time to pounce on the poster as soon as it went up on his site. BAM - I got it in my cart! ... 5 seconds to add my address, SHIT - the site is asking me for a verification code. As I was typing in the code the screen auto-refreshed and the posters were gone. The whole thing took 10 seconds. We were shut out again.
One last shot was that Klausen was going to appear at an art festival in LA on May 31st and he said on his instagram account that he'd have another batch of Pitts posters there. My bud just happens to live in LA, and swore he and his wife would go and try one last time for the poster. I was doubtful it would work this time, it seemed like a long shot.
On the 31st, my bud arrived early at the art festival with his wife. He found Klausen's art tent. There was a bin behind that read "Pittsburgh posters - one per person". Glad he brought his wife! When he made it to the front of the line he and his wife both got one. My buddy said, "hey I was at this show!".. To which Klausen could literally care less lol.
The poster arrived today from LA from my bud. What... a ... journey... What a tour!!

You know how this part goes, by the time we reached the table the posters were gone... But hey epic show that night.
We scoured Brad Klausen's Instagram posts and saw that he was going to release 100 artist variants on his website that Sunday... We were determined to get it this time. We had 2 phones and a computer set up at the right time to pounce on the poster as soon as it went up on his site. BAM - I got it in my cart! ... 5 seconds to add my address, SHIT - the site is asking me for a verification code. As I was typing in the code the screen auto-refreshed and the posters were gone. The whole thing took 10 seconds. We were shut out again.
One last shot was that Klausen was going to appear at an art festival in LA on May 31st and he said on his instagram account that he'd have another batch of Pitts posters there. My bud just happens to live in LA, and swore he and his wife would go and try one last time for the poster. I was doubtful it would work this time, it seemed like a long shot.
On the 31st, my bud arrived early at the art festival with his wife. He found Klausen's art tent. There was a bin behind that read "Pittsburgh posters - one per person". Glad he brought his wife! When he made it to the front of the line he and his wife both got one. My buddy said, "hey I was at this show!".. To which Klausen could literally care less lol.
The poster arrived today from LA from my bud. What... a ... journey... What a tour!!
