GOT THE BOX

[BleephouseRat]

they're in the show notes "notes on the calls" section of the book.

Got mine today.  This is the greatest thing I've ever bought.  And such a deal.  Its HEAVY.  I knew it would be great but it exceeded my expectations.  Haven't even seen what's on the USB yet, I'm just staring at it in awe.  AMAZING

Got mine today! Went back to the Mac vs. Jimmy Crespo call ... so great. Mac would have to be an adult now, or close to it. Is Mac on here? Anybody know what's up with that kid Mac?

Now mine is in the equally fictitious-sounding Warrendale, PA. So it has moved almost all it has to east but only a tiny bit south.

Warrendale is a real place. In fact, it's not too far away from where I live, in the North Hills of Pittsburgh.

Still in the shipping label stage (created March 25) but I didn't place my order until about then so I'm not too worried.  I'm so happy to hear that the Mac vs. Crespo call is on there.
Is there any stuff on there that isn't Wurster calls?  (e.g. Toms Gary 
Puckett rant, calls from real-life weirdos, etc.?
I find it pretty appropriate that Joe Matt did artwork for the set because Joe Matt is almost like a living Wurster character.  Like a friend of mine once said "I love Joe Matt.  It would be cool to meet him but I'd just hope he didn't want to shake hands."

Yeah, that is where mine has been stuck as well, though I ordered mine in early January.  What's killing me is that Chicago is an hour away from me.  It's been sitting an hour away for me for at least nine days now.

Just as I posted the above, I got this from USPS: "Based on the tracking information, the Postal Service has not physically received the package. The tracking information shows the shipper's intend on dropping  some items by creating an on line label, but there was no actual acceptance of this shipment at a Postal Facility.  Please contact the shipper regarding this new information and ask them if they even shipped your item. "

on March 31, this showed up in my inbox from Numero: "All Best Show orders have now been dropped at the central downtown Postal building as of yesterday morning. Things should start showing up."

Fun!

There is at least one call from Tom to Terre T.'s show. It's called "The 80s Are Back."

I got my first update today... my package followed Buffcoat's to Forrest Park, IL!

[joe]

I got the box today! It is really amazing as you may have guessed!

[tbennett]

Need to do a little surgery on my HutPod cassette/USB drive. The actual drive (could you call it a 'device'?) came out of its plastic casing.  Still thinking about buying a second copy so I can have one USB drive in the car, and one in the house.

Sorry for those who have not got theirs but I promise it will be worth every penny.

[Gleepglop]

Arrived today. 100% amazing.

[Michael from Toronto]

Anybody in Canada receive the box yet?

[buffcoat]

Arrived today.

Let me say that I love craftsmanship, not in the hipster chocolate or the handcrafted Starbucks beverage sense, but in the "this is our big thing, we're going to do it right" sense. This box has that in every single part of it. The audacity of a $100 16-CD box set alone says that.

I read a good bit of the book, which is really cool.

Perhaps the most cool thing for me so far is that I'm finally going to hear the last 10 minutes of the Conventions, Inc., call. That's worth a lot of the purchase price on its own.
