I am never one to get into the venue early (usually at the bar until the last possible moment). I've seen EV solo 6 times. Never had an issue getting merch.
Of course every tour is different, but I wouldn't sweat getting in early.
Is there an opening act?
Glen Hansard is the opening act.
I was late to Hartford in 2008 and missed out on the poster. That's why last year I was at the arena right at 6 to get the merch. It's mostly the poster I'm worried about, hearing about how during the Aussie tour people were buying 6 of them.
Never heard of Glen Hansard (though that doesn't mean anything)
I hear ya about the poster. I just started the poster thing and I only try to get the shows I go to. I'm usually too lazy to get there early (I like to drink/smoke before shows) and I hate worrying about losing stuff during the show. I have come to find that there are usually posters available here at face value or slight markups. Personally I'd rather pay a few extra bucks than have to carry a tube around all night, but that's just me.
Was the Aussie poster differnt for each show or was it the same for all the tour stops?
I've never heard of him either.
I don't mind carrying the tube around all night, especially in a theater. It was kind of a pain last year in Hartford but I just kept checking on it to make sure it was still there because I heard some people had their posters stolen at shows earlier in the tour.
I think multiple dates at the same venue were the same. Not 100% sure on it.

The one that is Jeff Soto poster #2 on the list is actually 2 separate posters that came out on different nights, but they match up when you mount them side by side. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=152057

Personally I thought Clerks 2 sucked. At least compared to the first one. Except for the porchmonkey bit and the Lord of the Rings/Star Wars dialogue, which were both hilarious, the rest of the movie wasn't that great.
Oh yeah...now I see it. Better get glasses before the show so I can actually see Eddie on stage

I did recently purchase a straw cowboy hat that I'm quite fond of. It goes great with my tie-dyed hoodie.
