If you haven't found out by now, Darling is available for purchase. This news has been the greatest in a while. The music is avaible on iTunes, and is being offered hardcopy at the upcoming shows. The problem is that I do not want them on iTunes and I can't make a show until Ithaca. It truly pains me to think that the opportunity to have these unfathomably honest and real records on hard copy is just going to slip away, while I sat back and did nothing. I can't do iTunes, there is nothing like the tangible package no matter how convienient the product. Especially Avett, more specifically, Darling. There just can't be shortcuts, not with this.

I can't believe I'm even thinking of this request, but I am desperately trying to find a solution. Now, I know there are people just as excited as me, with the opportunity to go to these shows where they are available. So through the power of empathy, what I'm hoping to find, is a person willing to trust a stranger with no connection except the music that brings us together, and purchase these albums from the shows, and send them to me. Obviously the entire cost of this request will be paid for, and more appreciated than anything can be, not only for fufilling such a request, but the act of trusting in others, a quality that is both priceless and fleeting.

So please if someone out there attending one of these shows could oblige, I would be entirely humbled by such kindness, if it exists.
