GOT THE BOX

[Mike Desert]

Mine now says "out for delivery"! so I'll have gotten the Beefheart box set and the Best Show box set on the same day!

I'm still sitting at "Shipping Labels Created." I was hoping to have it in time for the road trip I'm taking tomorrow, but hopefully it'll be waiting when I return.

Me too.

I paid extra to have it shipped via Priority Mail though, so I'm hoping it's here by the weekend.

This is so awesome. So many great little details. I think I have to order another one because I don't even want to touch this thing. I can't bring myself to open the package with the downloads. Oh well, here I go.

That Radio Hut C360 rules so much -not just cause of the reference, but it was so quick to throw everything onto my work computer and android phone...I remember when I got the Harry Nilsson box set, it took HOURS it seemed like to rip all the CDs.
Thanks Tom and Jon!!

Anyone else think this set was CHEAP for what you get??  I wish Numero did the Dinosaur Jr Book...300 bucks I just can't do.

Myra Loy, are you on twitter?

Why do you feel you need our input to make a video of you unpacking something?  Just do it or don't.  Maybe the question you mean to ask is whether you should put it up somewhere if you make one and if so, again, why do you need our input for such a thing?

Well as a group of friends. It's nice to ask other friends of their opinions. I was just curious if people here wanted to see another. Thanks though. A simple no would suffice. Well when it gets here I'll make sure to make one. From the videos I've seen they look amazing!

I didn't mean to imply yes or no.  Just that if you feel you should do it, do it.  This is a special, once in a lifetime thing and it probably should be documented in some way. You don't need our input for that.  This video opening project is about you, not us or how we feel about it. If you make it interesting, sure I'll check it out.  If you are opening a box and describing what is in it, I'll likely pass because I'll be doing the same thing with the same box of stuff soon, though not recording it. 

As for Twitter, it's almost like having telepathy in a crowded room and not wanting it and not being able to turn it off.  Plus, I don't have an ego compatable with Twitter.

Here's an update from Numero Group on the shipping of the box:

Rhelly--Yes, some mistakes were made. There should have been a "JW" in front of that paragraph. I said that, not Tom. Also, I made a typo that was not caught by the proofreader. The mammoth undertaking of putting the book together was done during a month-long Bob Mould tour where I was writing and proofing while riding in a car to the next city or sitting in a dressing room while the opening band was blasting away on the other side of the wall. Tom was swamped with his jobs, too. We tried our best.

You are still the best. Thank you both for everything you do.

It not being perfectly proofread just adds to its charm. The massive amount of information, plus the massive undertaking Tom and Jon underwent to get all together means that I cannot begin to even contemplate nitpicking the proofreading.

Off-topic, but what app are you using for that now playing lockscreen?

[Mike Desert]

Android Galaxy S5. I downloaded Nova Launcher for my home screen functions, but that now playing lock-screen -I'm pretty sure- is the default in Android now.

Holy cow!

That said, Jon, I have to take you to task for another thing... OH NO, I DROPPED MY COCO-NUT WATER!"

Exactly.
