The Offerman event also had the same "first 700" condition. 

Ah! I didn’t make the cut. Thanks for the info! 
 

Off to the Barnes & Noble website. Good thing they have a Criterion Collection sale starting this Friday. That’s a good excuse to go in and try to see if I can order it. I know that it says that it’s sold out in my area MA/NH, but I’ll try to change the states to see if it pops up somewhere.

Mine was directly opposite the title page.  It's on a sticker slapped on that page.

Hmm...I don’t have anything like that in my copy. I can’t find the nameplate info for the Offerman event anymore. I can find the info for the Norah Jones event and it says that the signed nameplate is available to the first 700 people that purchase a ticket to the event. I wonder if the Offerman event had a similar criteria. When I check the page for the event, most of the info is gone. But I remember something about them being mailed at a later date. 

I heard back from someone at The Seminary Co-Op on Friday afternoon. They sent me a tracking number which I checked and laughed that the book was in my mailbox that day. Funny how that works out.

I think the signed nameplate is coming separately, right?

Has this been discussed yet?  I'm only 4 episodes in, but this is a PHENOMENAL show.

 

I was going to reply to you to discuss the show, but I had this idea to go back and watch the 1st 7 episodes again, before I finished this season. I had several questions about things and refused to hit up some articles on the net. My first thought was that you would love the later episodes, if you enjoyed the 1st 4 which I found to be great with some hiccups along the way. 
 

The pilot episode was amazing right up until the scene with the monsters near the end. I felt that the editing was too “breakneck” paced for my tastes. I thought maybe they were trying to hide the special effects or something with the lighting. I had to rewind that scene a few times to see what was going on. 
 

The way they structured the second episode felt a lot like it should have been the penultimate episode or finale. It was quite surprising that it was only the second. And I thought that the third & fourth were solid, but I’m grasping to remember what happened in them. However, the last 6 episodes were all phenomenal: the Hippolyta & Ji-Ah episodes were real standouts and different from the rest of the season. The 9th episode was probably my favorite episode of any show this year. I have a few ideas how they can continue into a second season. 
 

I still preferred HBO’s Watchmen which I don’t think anyone mentioned in here. It helped to be familiar with the original source material. I was worried that a sequel or “remix” would never work, but was blown away by the storyline and how it tied to current times.

tuned in last night for the first time in a while (finally figured out how to display it on my TV, yay for me) and enjoyed it a lot, but some of the client comments about Enimen and Patti were eye-rolling... blech. excellent to hear Burma too. talk about reunited bands who did it right - much respect for Roger, Clint, Peter (and Bob). 

Did you know that Mission Of Burma played in Lowell 16 years ago? They opened for Pixies at Tsongas Arena. That was the second time that I saw them. The first was when they opened for Wilco in Boston in June 2003. I forget how close to the show the announcement came that Sonic Youth couldn’t play and had to be replaced by Mission Of Burma. Edited to add article:

They canceled earlier during the day of the Boston show.

I received a copy from the Nora Jones live stream and another from Offerman this week, and I had already purchased a copy before those events were announced.  And now I have three...

So, if you would like one, I'd be happy to send it to you.  

Thank you very much for the offer! I am going to wait and have faith in The Seminary Co-op. If for some reason things fall through with them, then I will definitely take you up on that generous offer.

Also ordered with the Offerman live stream.  The email I got was from "The Seminary Co-op Bookstore" via stamps.com and had a tracking link.  Took two weeks from teh time it "shipped" but finally arrived. 

Thanks for the info! Yeah, I didn’t receive anything like that at all. I also checked my junk folder too and nothing. I think Tim & I aren’t the only folks in the same boat, according to several similar posts on the FB group. 
 

Noonchorus sent me an automatic reply letting me know that someone real would get back to me which they did. He told me to email info@semcoop.com because Noonchorus does not fill merch orders. The automatic reply from them says that they are backed up right now.

so i bought a ticket for the Nick Offerman live stream and i thought it came w/ a copy of the book? haven't seen anything yet... anyone else buy one this way, via noonchorus, and have received their copy yet?

I’m in the same boat as you. I watched the Offerman live stream, but never received an email at all. I was going to give them a few weeks to see if I would receive anything. I’ll contact them today.

Haven't had time yet to watch it all, but the first half is magnificent...the setting, Jeff's voice, the songs chosen...thanks for sharing this, and I can't wait to watch the rest! 

Glad you enjoyed it! I have zero recollection of Jeff mentioning that this was being filmed for YouTube. It definitely sounded like a low key private event.

I watched the broadcast on Monday evening and I couldn’t tell that any cuts were made, so I was stunned to find that the entire interview ran almost twice as long. Colbert needs to give his editors a raise, especially with the limited camera angles which is pretty much what you see above. Very easy to make cuts when you have audience reaction shots to cut to. Ok. Enough about the editing. This was a great interview and a pleasant surprise, since I was just expecting a performance. They put Guess Again from the Drive-In show on CBS.com as a little bonus. 

This month’s Nugs release is from September 18, 2012 in Santa Fe, NM. It’s great that they drop these when there isn’t a Tweedy Show. 

Mac DeMarco is in the video, but is not featured in the recording. Catchy tune.

What a fantastic evening! It’s been a surreal treat to be able to be invited into Jeff’s creative process. It’s been really cool to hear these songs evolve from just Jeff and a guitar to a full band. 

I love this record, but I feel like Whisper would have fit perfectly on here. Anyone out there throw it into the running order?
 

An early favorite is a tie between Natural Disaster and Half-Asleep closely followed by Opaline. 

The production is phenomenal! It has the feel of a record that will be easy to replicate live, but will never quite capture that studio magic. That thought should only be viewed as a credit to the top notch production of Jeff & Tom Schick.

I’m pretty sure Jeff said this was “Charlie,” a theme composed by Georges Delerue from the Truffaut film Shoot The Piano Player. Well, he didn’t say all that; he said it was “Shoot The Piano Player: Charlie.” But anyway...

 

And thanks for not mentioning that I got sent to my room for saying “C” word. (Not that one.) 

Thank you! 
 

That was funny!
