I’m surprised that the book can be bought separately but not the vinyl. I’d probably be in for the vinyl alone tbh.
I just signed up for CT, impulsively. I want this Stubbs set!We were at that Stubb's show. I am beyond thrilled it's this year's CT vinyl gift.
This discussion made me remember that I am sitting on fantastic seats for Wilco + Sleater-Kinney at Forest Hills whenever that show ends up getting played. Incidentally, I have also seen Wilco at Coney Island and Summer Stage, as well as at the worst NYC-area outdoor venue (Jones Beach).It's my favorite too. Williamsburg Waterfront used to be cool. Saw some good shows there. I saw Huey Lewis at Coney Island for free a few years ago which was hilarious but fun. And Prospect Park is fun because you don't even have to actually pay for the show. You can just go hang out and have a BBQ in the park fairly close to the stage and still hear everything.
Forest Hills, as other said, is close to Jackson Heights where there is incredible food. Super easy walk from the subway. Coney Island is a trek from nearly everywhere in NYC though so I kinda stopped looking at gigs there. The lineups at Forest Hills have been pretty good too. A lot skew toward the older crowd, but I did see Chance the Rapper there with Francis and the Lights opening and have seen D'Angelo with Gary Clark and a few other awesome gigs. I also love the early curfew haha
Yeah, I probably would too, even at a likely $30 price tag.I’m surprised that the book can be bought separately but not the vinyl. I’d probably be in for the vinyl alone tbh.

I'm not sure if it's still available I think the deadline to sign up for it was Dec. 31. You can try emailing cherry tree and ask them for clarification, but I think that since you signed up after 12/31/20, the gift you will receive will be the 2021 gift which has not yet been announced. The Stubb's show is technically the 2020 gift which is just running late again.I just signed up for CT, impulsively. I want this Stubbs set!
Yeah, they ended up making Vol 1available in the store for purchase once Vol 2 dropped so if they continue down that road he may be able to purchase volume 3 from the store at some point (maybe).I'm not sure if it's still available I think the deadline to sign up for it was Dec. 31.

I like the National but personally, I would probably look at the book once and then I've dropped $150+ on an 8 song record.The book still seems like a really nice thing to have so I don’t feel quite so bad about spending a dumb amount… Or I’m trying convince myself right now
I love these kind of books and I will def page through it multiple times. It's also fun knowing that pix of my family will be in it, makes it more special to me.I like the National but personally, I would probably look at the book once and then I've dropped $150+ on an 8 song record.
same. It is going towards the touring crew, which is a good cause. I guess you have to convince yourself on that. It's like when PBS does TV drives and you end up spending $40 for a coffee mug or $100 for a sweatshirt because a large majority of that is a donation to your local station. A book and record combo should be no more than $60 in all honesty.I like the National but personally, I would probably look at the book once and then I've dropped $150+ on an 8 song record.
lol you beat me to itisn't your profile pic jerry garcia? so you must be able to relate to the whole luxury brand thing!
