Wow, thanks so much for putting my video in the email newsletter! What an honor. The guy in the actual video is my brother, ktpthomas here on the boards. Sorry it's so amateur, but we were excited!
Is the Deluxe ONLY 1k copies... or is it just 1k copies that get the nifty poster???
I had to wait til now to buy it, and I'm torn ... because I want to buy Ellipse by Imogen Heap and Bob Schneider's new album, too... which is a 9/29 release... I'm a poor teacher (and cut back to part time anymore at that). Do I get the most music... or most Avett merch?? I think the signed cover art might seal it for me... mayyybe
Greensboro,
There aren't any more autographed copies available. Unless you go to the Envoy Gallery in NYC tomorrow night, buy one there and get it signed. But it still seems pretty awesome none the less, and I don't know about those other two bands, but I would still buy this instead in a heartbeat. Autographed album art or no.
Speaking of autographed copies...Mine was all smeary and fingerprint-ish, especially around Seth's name. I imagine the boys got a little case of messy digits in their autograph assembly line or something.
By the way Blasto, this has been mentioned in another thread, but BE CAREFUL OPENING YOURS!!! The auto lith is NOT actually contained INSIDE the box set. It's just packaged alongside, not protected in anything. In fact, it looks like someone just shoved mine inside...It's all bent and knicked along the edges. Or, I suppose it may have been packed with care, and just bumped around during shipping. Bah.
Mine arrived today mentonlee, so surely yours will be delivered tomorrow. That's too bad it didn't come today though Especially since they just had to head south on I-65 from Franklin, TN to make it here.
Anjanette, my autographed lithograph was a little bent on one of the corners as well. So yeah, be careful opening them when you all get it.

I’m walking with you,
I’m walking with you,
I might miss the meaning, but I’m catching the truth
I got mine today in the mail and decided to hold off opening it until you all were playing on Letterman tonight. Thanks for the serenade while I took my first look at the Deluxe set. This is wonderful stuff and I am incredibly appreciative of all that you guys do. Thanks for giving us all the gift of yourselves.
How did ya'll get autographed copies????....did I miss that option or something??
I have to say I am very pleased with my box set; however, I wish there had been more actual pics from Crackerfarm....I'm lovin Seth's series though....I've seen a lot of Scott's work over the years, but I didn't know Seth did personal work too......and what he wrote about the concept of 'I&Love&You' was AMAZING.......
The little girl in my avatar picture is now 10 and this is her opening 'the only thing she wanted for her birthday', the box set. She didn't know I was recording.
And the box set is beautiful.
I just about passed out when I gently openned the cardboard container and the autographed cover design came out! I am still beaming this morning and cannot believe I finally have the deluxe box set to treasure for a life time. Needless to say I immediately framed the authograph cover and then left the box set UNOPENED! Yes, like the first fan said "I wonder how many fans will not open it.." That's me. It's the Holy Grail for us die hard fans, and I am leaving it unopened for now. I promise someday to do so but for now, I am basking in the shear joy of having this piece of history.
Luvthatgrass - that really was great. Thanks so much for sharing. I love how when she's flipping through the pictures, she just sort of mindlessly sings along to the CD. So awesome. Thanks again.

Ain't it like most people, I'm no different, we love to talk on things we don't know about.
my favorite part was when she couldn't get the bandana packaging open so handed it to you. i don't know why it was so funny to me, but it seems very kid-like...
-- Meanwhile, there's Scott's voice, one of the most emotionally naked in any genre, merging with Seth's more guarded intimacy to sound like angels arm wrestling and tears drying on a cheek

I got too excited and didn't even think about doing this.

Umm, how do we know which one's are Seth's and which are Scott's? It all kind of looks like Scott's handiwork to me.

I just kinda threw this together...
Wyson! You are a very handsome man!

"one with Earth and one with God"
Was it the trench coat or the denim on denim that did it for you? Either way, thanks for the complement.
I DO love a snappy dresser. And your dance moves...Man, you can cut a rug!

luvthatgrass,
YouTube says this video hasn't processed yet, I guess you're still uploading?
I can't wait to see a small child witness this in all it's glory. I get the feeling her reactions will not be much different from mine!
blasto: The liner notes say whose art is which. The hand studies are Seths.
luvthat....the best video I've seen! I left you a comment.
Luvthatgrass :
Best. Unboxing. Video. Ever.
Seriously, I opened mine with that same child-like sense of wonder and amazement!
beautiful.

Jeez, I should just hit it and call this a day, before I cry again! luvthatgrass...awesome, absolutely awesome! A girl after mine own heart...
luvthatgrass. Easily the greatest unboxing. What a great video!
