That's the shirt you were wearing when you showed your PJ shirt collection in tinychat.

That is a pretty cool, shirt, for what it's worth.
I can't imagine him doing that. It must have been a long time ago when he was still Anikan Chud. He's been Darth Chud for some time.
You don't know what you're talking about.
You're quite the mystery box.

The whole thing does scream of "help us get rid of our leftover merch", but all that crap for $75 bucks is pretty good value.

Some of the stuff would sell out instantly, if it was for sale though - Wrigley stuff, SIGG water bottles, Yield era shirts, vs. era shirts, Vitalogy era shirts, 2003 Bootlegs, random vinyl.

Some stuff never would sell.

I wonder if each box counts towards Brad and Tres Mts album sales. Everyone got them.

This was the only tour that had a program, wasn't it?

At least 2 people got the Mr. Potato Head shirt.

I never knew the Planner existed until the Mystery Box pics.

I don't think any of this was secret. This is all the point of a secret box. Tempt people into taking a bunch of worthless shit by tempting them with tiny amounts of totally awesome shit. Even if you get stuff you don't want, you still get $150 worth of merch for $75.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

It's been a blast. I've already made 2 trades. I'm about to complete 3 more soon. I've attained all (?) of the 2003 Bootlegs I've been seeking to finally finish my collection. There's a few little things I'm after that I'll be able to trade for too. The trading has been the best part.

The Who/PJ HOB 2002 Hat
Red Canada 2011 Tour T-shirt (dates on back)
Burnt Orange Old West Saloon T-shirt
Melbourne N1 2006 Poster
Brisbane 2009 Poster
White Fixer/Supersonic 7" (still with Target price sticker!- must have had these returned)
Nothing As It Seems 1-track promo CD
Nagoya Japan 2003 Bootleg
Tres Mts CD
Brad CD
Benaroya-era(?) 10c renewal postcard *This is the image from the Portland 2006 CCFA Benefit show poster (7/20/06) although the photo they used for it is from Benaroya hall
Backspacer Bouncy Ball
Backspacer Space Drummer Sticker (or tattoo?)
Johnny Guitar Sticker
PJ Europe 2012 Flag Sticker
PJ Europe 2012 Handshake Sticker
Lightning Bolt Window Sticker
My Father's Son promo card (my favorite track on LB, so that's cool)
PJ Superman Logo Sticker
PJ Monkeywrench Sticker
PJ Vulture Sticker
PJ Calgary 2013 Sticker
PJ20 Promo Sticker
Brad Best Friends? Sticker
PJ Wrigley Field Sticker
PJ Wrigley Field Patch
Three Fish Sticker

Hadn't seen anyone with a Japan 2003 bootleg yet so that was the biggest surprise out of the box. The posters don't do much for me so I expect I'll donate those to an upcoming preparty. I'll wear the tees, so that's good. Though everyone is getting them, I'm actually excited to have the Tres Mts and Brad CDs- I probably wouldn't have picked those up otherwise. I'll find a use for the stickers. I was hoping the vinyl would be something I didn't have, so that was probably the most disappointing "get" of the box- seeing the Angel/Ramblings promos and some of the other singles got my hopes up.
