Look at it this way...there are 12 shows...12 stickers...I plan on buying 12 and hopefully trading for the other 11...its fun. No big deal if I cant get one...like Gydnia. Its fun to connect with PJ fans around the world and trade stickers. I'm not going to flip any on ebay. I do wish the 10-club would sell them online, but that would take some of the fun out of the hunt.

Haven't been commenting as much lately, and I know this debate comes up every tour... but... i just gotta say a couple of things...

I don't understand this concept of fun "in the hunt". I don't get any fun out of searching for things I want. If I want something, I just want to be able to buy it... and I certainly don't get any enjoyment out of walking up to a merch booth and not being able to buy a memorabilia item from a show that I went to because people around the world need to "collect the set" or "find it fun to trade".

The bottom line is that this stuff is meant for people to have a keepsake from a show that they went to... at least that's what it means to me and most of the other folks you see in this thread who "just want a shirt or sticker or pin from the show they went to"... you know? All the people out there needing to have stickers or pins or something from every show to "collect the set" or "feel a connection to the show", don't you see that you're potentially keeping someone from having a keepsake from an actual memory they have of the event?

If it wasn't for collectors and people around the world needing to have "everything", we'd never be in this stupid situation, where you need to go to a merch booth at 3 pm in the afternoon.... but at the rate it's growing, it's just going to continue growing out of control...

the real question is: what are you going to do with all this shit when have? I stopped playing the collecting game a couple of years back - now if I know I don't have a use for it, i'm not gonna buy it... Like what are you going to do with a sticker from every show? Most of you are just going to put them in a pile in the closet and let them sit there... forever... or until the next time you need to feed your 6 kids after you lost your job...

i dunno... i'm sure i shouldn't be judging people for what they do with their money... but the fact that I'm going to go just to the show on both Sundays, and probably arrive late in the day, and there's not going to be a sticker/pin/event shirt left in the place is mind boggling to me... just cause someone in timbuktoo needs to have the whole set...

We have a greed with which we have agreed,
And you think you have to want more than you need
Until you have it all you won't be free.
Society, you're a crazy breed!!!"

I'm in the same boat, man. I have an extra of both acl stickers if they're sold out when you get there.

ACL booth had an initial line around the block. I arrived at 430PM and there was 4 people in line.
They had plenty of stuff. I'd be shocked if they ran out but we will see.

Weird...

whats the relation of Popeye to St Louis?

Yeah I'll pass on that poster.

I don't mind it.
