Dimitrispearljam is at this event and he's just written on the thread, so I think he's communicating online somehow. Or maybe it's over.

They didnt take cell phones or anything like that becauwe i think in 2002- not everyone had phones yet! nor was leaking on the internet a major problem....

But, yea, it was just a bunch of people in the room drinking beer, bullshitting and the album being blasted over the speakers.
This was essentially my experience at a Yield listening party in '98.

:nice:

You're alright in my book, mr. evenslow
:thumbsup:

Midnight sales and listening parties. A relic of the past.

Ah, OK. Someone mentioned 'Dimi' and that's who I thought they meant.

That's old news. The solutions are still easy enough.

Any news yet?

That's pretty cool. It's still a bit "light" but with that old PJ filmwork.

Pretty cool. I did several pauses looking at the tape labels. I'm guessing "Weatherman" was the original title for "Leatherman."

Something about this 'branding' -- MYM, artwork, film style -- seems to say that if we have Backspacer 2, at least it's a little more sophisticated.

I thought there were a few RMers who mentioned they were going and would give us some info when they got back from it. I think Mirella? was one of them.
