I kept looking around for you, Shane, but never saw you. What time did you get there?

No way. You were there? Come on, universe! haha I was asking around to see if you were there, Ara's my witness. I'd been so laser-focused on the recording that I didn't even see you were coming down to RSD for sure. Next time, next time.Kali Durga wrote:I kept looking around for you, Shane, but never saw you.

Dude, I was there for over 12 hours! Saw Ara when I was in line for a sno-cone, I should have asked her if she'd seen you. Such a great day, it was such a thrill to see the Elvis acetate and the Rek-O-Kut. And I loved the Terraplane Blues fragment on the wall with the "Touch Me" sign.shaneoftheroad wrote:No way.

And can I just say how incredibly fantastic it was of them to leave the back patio open overnight and to keep the bathrooms stocked with the good toilet paper? So many kudos to whichever member of the staff stuck around all night on our behalf to keep an eye on things.

Rek-O-Kut is that what it's called, seriously?Kali Durga wrote:

Translated from dutch this means Stretch-O-Cunt

Hi Todd....it was very nice to see you and the rest of your family at TMR.

Re: RSD @ TMR - April 18, 2015
Surprised to see all the hate on people camping out. It was fun. I got to meet plenty of Swirlers and other people that I've chatted with online, I got to get drunk on the back patio area all night (They left the hallway to the patio/bathroom area out back unlocked for all of us) , and I was in and out of TMR with my records at 10:30AM instead of standing in that mile long line all day. That's like a win win win win win if i've ever heard of one
The whole RSD was really chill. Chatted with Swank and he even commented on how he was really happy with the chill vibe of the whole day. No one running around freaking out, just people enjoying music and atmosphere.

Re: RSD @ TMR - April 18, 2015
Sorry about that. I turned my phone off when we went in to record and didn't turn it back on until we were eating lunch on Broadway afterward. Glad I came back to TMR before I went home though, lots of cool stuff went down.arewhyehen wrote:It took me forever to track down Shane as well...and I was messaging him for part of the day...

So was the puzzle an RSD exclusive or will it be sold online like the t-shirts?
I don't want to pay $125 for a puzzle.
