I'm done with merch it's all just stupid Becoming bigger than the gig
Been that way for years. PJ is an event now. It's really starting to become an industry-wide thing now with artists from all different genres concentrating more on LE merch and pushing that "gotta have it now" mentality.
Nothing they make is Limited anymore. They learned their lesson on that.
I don’t recall Europe being crazy like this. Back in 2014 you coukd get whatever you wanted easily at Vienna, Leeds, and Oslo. Another brutal US export.
Euro 2014 was nothing like this. At the shows I went to I waited no longer than 5 minutes minutes. Posters all available after the shows.
Thankfully I didn't have chance to queue today for merch otherwise I likely would have wasted a day stood in a merch queue with nothing to show for it. I'm hoping 10c have plenty of Prague posters to sell in the coming weeks.
I just can't see the appeal in it myself. Like I wouldn't be fretting if something was out of stock at a show I went to. I just try to pick up another one!

I may be wrong but it seems to me that the Prague poster is reminiscent of Mucha, the famous Czech artist.
You’re right, style, colors and flowers match Mucha’s artworks. It just lacks the woman which is the central theme with Mucha. I think PJ had a couple of posters very closely related to Mucha’s Art Nouveau in the past such as this one. (Not the best poster around though)
No big loss here either. But, sure messed with a lot of peoples heads.
We're in BST here in the UK at the moment folks, not GMT. The poster
went live at 10am here in the UK, I promise you. Matt made the mistake
of saying "10am GMT" which is a very easy thing to do, even for us Brits! So if you were looking for GMT conversion times, that would have screwed you up by an hour.
This is awesome. Taylor is a great artist. I wasn't crazy about the Prague one, but He usually does great stuff (i mean, just look at his store). Some baseball ones will be great.

A lot of people did. The joke I saw elsewhere was that he meant 10 MTT -- Matt Taylor Time.
I just went off this conversion site. Am I reading it correctly or wrong? I'm getting 10 GMT as 6 EST.

The Taylor piece is Noveau so maybe?
-someone who spent majority of his career on GMT
That was still too early for me to get up.
Good thing too because it was actually 5am
No big loss here either. But, sure messed with a lot of peoples heads.
