[harvestgirl]

haha! sounds very cool!

can't wait to hear more details/stories.

still happy so many swirlers were there!

I know he (or the article) told, but I always want more detail (plus, I was being funny). Fortunately, Jack himself has provided me with what I wanted-- http://jackwhiteiii.com/live-photos/

Thanks for that!

I love this forum. Thank you for ALLLLLLLLLLL the info! Outfreakin'standing.

P.S. My bank account thanks TMR for not giving out hand-painted copies of Blunderbuss.

At one point Swank walks up and someone just asks whats going to be released for RSD, and he tells us! (It should be announced today so I won't spoil it.)

Spoil away!

The record is translucent blue and has to be played using your finger to manually rotate. It also came with 3 bumper sticker size stickers. I am sorry I can't post pictures until I get home tonight I am sure somebody will beat me to it. In the runouts it says surprise on side A and prize on side B. it was great to meet everybody. Great summary Ben. I have to do something about this pounding headache then head to the airport. Does anybody know of a good place to grab breakfast?

If you want spoilers go to the RSD 2012 thread, it's been posted there!

Wow. That sounds amazing. Can't wait to see some pictures of the swag, especially the LP and poster. RSD announcement today? Sweet!

Ok, for those of y'all who were there, the question has come up elsewhere as to whether Jack used the Kay for any songs other than Seven Nation Army. The photos of his site make it seem like he might've only pulled it out for that, but do any of you remember seeing him use it for any of the new material?

[flattop2001]

Bens summary is pretty much spot on. Only thing I would add is that none of the new songs felt out of place or lightweight next to the Stripes dead weather or racs stuff. If that was the warm up roll on Saturday.

All the swirlers/vaulters were really cool and a special thanks to COH better half who gave my wife one of jacks picks as she caught 2 pure class.

What an amazing night. Ben summed it up perfectly. I t was great to meet so many of you. Can't wait to do it again. Wish I had known about the stuf fin the store. We're going by there later to hopefully get some stuff.

Here's the cover of the 3 RPM record. Just snapped one real quick before we left for work. Sorry it's a bit dark, flash just made a giant reflection.

Cool!
