    What's the merch line usually like on an off-day? Does it die down at all, or is it a mess all day long?
    Thinking about going down to check it out, but can't commit too much time to it.
    In Florida it was a 45 minute line. Much more chill than day one
    Yeah but all the good stuff was sold out (poster 1 and license plates, etc)

    Line wasn't as long but they were poorly stocked. I was maybe 40th in line and got the last two license plates even with a limit of 2. Also out of XL event shirt for night 2. Did get one of the skate decks barely.

    The poster is a big improvement from his last PJ poster

    Can't wait to see Kevin Tong's Pearl Jam poster.
    Nice in homage of Steve Gleason. Wish I was going!

    Posters are getting weaker and weaker. They were very good for the LB tour, meh for Gigaton and DM tour
    They’ve been more hit and miss as different artists are now being used, many of whom do not normally do gig posters. Some of these have worked really well, some not. Previously when it was mainly Ames, Munk, Klausen, Emek etc doing most of the posters, most of these artists had so much experience on gig posters there were more hits than misses as the artists know what works and what doesn’t work as well.
    What worked well? I can't remember any of the new artists that made a grail yet...

    There’s hardly any grails since 2016. Maybe the Rome and that’s about it. 

    But a few nicer ones - maybe Dan Mumford (EV London/Louisville), who is known for Fantasy prints. Bella Grace (PJ London) who is known for AMPs etc.

    not saying “grail” by any means but the 2 Mumford MSG posters are pretty great

    I thought the Evangeline Gallagher Oakland print fell well into the "nicer ones" category--from a new arrival in the concert poster world.  Ames Philly "Dr. J" has grail potential....

    Got here at 1230 and done by 110

    I’d say 25 in line and it’s moving fast. Seems well stocked too.

    I won't be able to get down there until about 4:30.  Think they'll still have night 2 poster and night 2 shirt left by the time I get there?
