radiant is slowing down

[The Letter M]

I can't register on mascot. It's barking about a house number field that I don't even see.

On the US site or the EU site? I managed to sign-up and order on the US site pretty easily. In fact, I just placed my order for the CD/DVD/T-Shirt/Poster bundle. Cannot wait to get this in September!

I'm still refreshing Radiant's page, though. I think I might try to get the 2LP with the signed poster. It depends on the shipping and all, though.

US Site.

Not sure what to tell ya. Try refreshing your cart and restart the checkout process. Double check your billing and shipping addresses and make sure that if they're the same, you only fill out one address.

After all that, you should be able to create an account with a user name and a password.

21 to ship the LP to texas? WHAT?

[goo-goo]

DOne!

[Mindflux]

DOne!

Same here. Ordered the CD only since the LP shipping was insanity.

I wonder if I can find out from Radiant if I got the signed poster, if not I'd cancel and just order the Mascot bundle.

[The Letter M]

21 to ship the LP to texas? WHAT?

$21.08 (USD) to ship to Maryland. From Tennessee. "WHAT?" indeed. I guess I'm not ordering the LP for the poster, then, and I'm not interested in getting 2 copies of the CD. I guess this time around, I am NOT ordering from Radiant, even for the signed poster.

Congrats, Mascot, for having a better pre-order than Radiant.

EDIT - actually... I just realized I could use my PayPal account to order and used my Bill Me Later credit for the LP+Shipping...soooooo, I got it anyway. :facepalm

Still, though, that shipping is atrocious, so the LP better look and sound amazing (not that I have a record player...yet). I guess having the poster signed, and getting all the great stuff from Mascot kind of evens out.

My total Flying Colors purchases today: $79.07
-Second Nature CD
-Anthology DVD
-2LP Vinyl (with download code)
-XL T-Shirt
-Poster
-Signed Poster (hopefully!)
-Bonus Tracks (twice!)

Not bad, really. As I said above, the CD would retail for $15, the t-shirt for $20, the vinyl for $25, the DVD for $20, and the poster for $10, which would all add up to about $90 anyway, so as I see it, I still spent $10-15 less than I would have getting all this stuff separately.

Thank god for Bill Me Later, though. I guess I'm not ordering/pre-ordering much for the next month, now.

-Marc.

Pre-ordered from Mascot.

[countoftuscany42]

ordered the CD from Radiant and the vinyl from Mascot! 
stoked they announced a show at the Keswick, will be there wednesday for the winery dogs! literally every time i have been to that venue it is to see Portnoy in some band 

[Mindflux]

ordered the CD from Radiant and the vinyl from Mascot! 

This is what I did.

[The Letter M]

ordered the CD from Radiant and the vinyl from Mascot! 

Wait...would that have been cheaper?!?

*Goes to check*

Damnit...

Ordering the CD/Poster from Radiant + the Vinyl/T-shirt/DVD bundle from Mascot would've cost me $13.48 less.

Oh well...kudos to you both for saving yourself that much, countoftuscany42 & Mindflux!

It still ended up being expensive. Like $20.50 for the Cd at Radiant (shipped) and $31 for the LP+Bonus DVD from Mascot (Shipped)

[countoftuscany42]

i didn't really think of the amount i was saving, i just wanted everything but the tshirt and this seemed easier, plus everyone was saying they were gouged shipping the vinyl through radiant...

Yeah, that is pretty bad with the shipping. If the poster I get is signed, then I'll feel a little better about it. As I said above, at least I paid with Bill Me Later, so I don't have to worry about paying that back for a little while, but still, that shipping shouldn't even been HALF that much. Ten dollars, tops, but nowhere near twenty.

-Marc.

[Ben_Jamin]

Ordered the T-Shirt, Cd, Dvd from Mascot. $33 isn't bad at all, thought it'd be a bit more

[Nick]

I will likely buy the vinyl on pre-order ($31 shipped) to get the bonus DVD, and then do what I did last time and pick up the CD for $10 when it drops that low on Amazon.

[rumborak]

I will just buy the album as MP3s. The visuals of this album (shirt and album cover) don't excite me at all, so instead of having a physical CD rot in my basement, I will go to MP3 straight.

A few of us might have extra download codes due to multiple orders.

Same here.  I only buy physical CDs for favorite bands and whatnot nowadays.

Ooh, let me know if that happens!

10/3 Chicago, IL Arcada Theater

Oh, come on.  This got me all excited and then I go online to find that not only is the Arcada Theater not in Chicago, it's more than an hour's drive away.

[rumborak]

Unless they add a concert closer to New England, I won't see them this time. NYC was the farthest I'm willing to go for Flying Colors. I've flown (and driven) to the Keswick in PA, but frankly, that was for Frost*. Which needs no explanation.

+1


This is not one of those bands for me.  But I'll buy the MP3 album from Amazon, in support of Neal.  Didn't care much for the first album.

10/3 Chicago, IL Arcada Theater

Oh, come on.  This got me all excited and then I go online to find that not only is the Arcada Theater not in Chicago, it's more than an hour's drive away.

Yeah, St. Charles is not only not in Chicago, it's not even considered Western Suburbs.  Usually it's considered Far Western Suburbs or just "way the fuck".  It's an hour and then some from downtown, because a good part of the trip is on surface roads; no direct line on the freeways.

But no one's ever heard of St. Charles, so they just say Chicago.

[KevShmev]

That's the same thing here, where our most popular outdoor venue is in Maryland Heights, but it's part of the entire St. Louis metropolitan area, so it's just easier to call it St. Louis. 

[theseoafs]

Pretty unfortunate, because I definitely would have seen them if they were even remotely close to the city.  Oh, well.

[Orbert]

The Arcada Theater is a pretty nice theater, and St. Charles is a nice little town.  We used to live in Elgin, half an hour up the road (and a total shithole by comparison) and saw a play at the Arcada about 100 years ago.  But if proximity to the city is an issue, then yeah, this won't work at all.

Cool. This should have been available at Radiant too. That's just some shady stuff.

Yeah I agree. Editing probably was done by Randy George who handles most of the video stuff releases from Neal and Transatlantic. I was hoping not to do the "buy from two places and sell the other copy just so I can get the complete package" move.

[SuperTaco]

I think that artwork is very nice on the eyes. I love the hot air balloons ^.^

Also, I was a little bit surprised that the longest song on the album is also the opener, but that makes me even more excited I'd love to buy the MP3 version of this album and have an HD version of that cover in my collection of wallpapers
