So are those stickers that came with it too? I wish they were not Texas related cause it makes them seem like a Texas-based band. Weird choice there

I agree. Probably won’t do anything with them but if I was Texas based I’d probably love them.

The live show was in Texas so it relates in that regard. I’ll just slide them in the sleeve sealed and then someone will think they are neat when they finds them in the jacket once I’m dead.

Literally every time I get a poster in the jacket along with a record. I rarely ever want to hang something unless it’s a band I really really like or maybe it’s signed

Same. Mainly because any poster included is usually folded and there is a seam. This print appears to be 12x12 so it isn't folded. I'll definitely frame it and hang it near the Stubb's show print.
One of my Light Years books is out for delivery!!!! I don't know if it's my copy or the one I bought for my daughter. Even if it turns out to be hers, I am spinning that vinyl and paging through the book.

Just got out of the shower to the sound of a loud thunk on my porch - I'm expecting another large package today and my LY was scheduled for tomorrow, so imagine my surprise when I opened the door.

Mine was just delivered! So fun to look through the book - I see my husband and me in a bunch of photos and my daughter is in one as well. What # did you get? Mine is #7

My daughter's arrived today - I bought her the blue/white split CT variant and she got #599. A friend who ordered the non CT clear got a number in the #2200's. Seems that they are numbered in a specific order.

got mine today!!! Wasn’t expecting it to happen so quickly
Not a signed version, unfortunately, but it’s so nice to have. My number is 682. I have flipped through it and I love the stuff inside. Not a huge fan of the font on the cover, but I hear it is glow in the dark. Also, love that it came in a custom box. Looking forward to diving into it tonight.

And I was feeling pretty good about #8! (Also blue)
Agreed with all that it’s beautifully done. In a past life, I did some work with Pentagram, who has been designing the National’s stuff for a while. Hugely talented design firm. Apparently Scott used to work there.

I wanted to work at Pentagram! Went to school at Parsons way back in the mid-late 80's. Sadly, a bit too early to meet Scott there.And I was feeling pretty good about #8! (Also blue)

Got my blue/white split of light years today. #629 wasn't expecting the vinyl to be seperate which is nice from a space saving aspect.
