    I got a ticket for Tilburg, too :D Would be nice to say Hi!! How do I recognize you guys?[/quote:2t4cunhb]
    AWESOME! 8)

    I’m going there with a few friends who all have my mobile number in case we can not find each other. I know Jeroen and Milan from this forum are going too, and maybe more we didn’t hear yet. I’m picking up Milan, as it looks now, so we travel together. PM me BabyFirefly, if you like to exchange numbers, OK? We could try to meet half an hour before the show starts. I’ve never been to 013 before, so I don’t know a proper meeting place as yet.

    By the way, 013 is emailing this message around:

    "Dear Sir/Madam

    You’ve received this mail because you bought a ticket for The Smashing Pumpkins in 013.

    Due to the yearly Fun Fair in Tilburg (the biggest in The Netherlands), our city centre shall be very crowded. We advise everyone to use the train or bus to get to Tilburg as much as possible. It’s just a 5 minute walk from Tilburg Central Station to 013 Popcentre. You can also print your route to 013 for free at the blue machine at the entrance of Tilburg CS.

    If you still want to arrive by car, we recommend to take a look at this site (Dutch information only): http://www.detilburgsekermis.nl/bereikbaarheid/

    If you have questions please contact 013 Boxoffice via boxoffice@013.nl or +3113-4609500

    We would also like to invite you to our free afterparty: Sonic Ballroom! With the best punk-indie-rock-metal-garage-surf and everything that makes you want to scream “Hell yeah!!”. Sonic Ballroom will take place right after The Smashing Pumpkins in the same hall.

    With kind regards,
    Gijs Garenfeld

    $100+ even. Waiting for the Panopticon promo single to go the same direction. :)

    013 Tilburg: Smashing Pumpkins afterparty. :)

    (They call it the official Smashing Pumpkins afterparty, but I’m sure SP has nothing to do with it, and the band will most probably not show up or anything.)

    Nothing beats the real thing. And it is a pretty cool collectable item too. 8)

    Listened to Q101 MII in the end, sounds great. Good to listen to it with much less crackling and shit going on[/quote:17g5e2gb]
    Unless your cd player eats 5 out of 10 cds lately, which means it needs to be replaced urgently, you can always play any cd. Some cd-rs might be unplayable on some cd players, but neither cd nor cd player will be harmed in the process of finding out. Vinyl is a different story though.

    Glad you enjoyed MII! :)

    1 – i totally love the new and heavy version of Starz!!! :) :)

    2 – keeping fingers crossed Uli joins in Paradiso!!! :) :)

    by the way, didn’t you think, the middle section of United States sounded amazingly a lot like Gossamer???[/quote:who7hmjl]
    Yes, Yes (would be mindblowing to have them both in freakin’ Paradiso!) and United States is not provided with the YouTube upload, unfortunately, and I couldn’t find it somewhere else either… so I wouldn’t know. :(

    Starz is indeed a pretty good rocker. :)

    Latest awesome news found on Twitter:

    Uli Jon Roth ‏@UliJonRoth1

    Yeah, even Amazon Canada increased the prices for MCIS reissue vinyl and cd/dvd drastically. :(

    Glad I bought them on the right moment!

    Hi babyfirefly, welcome aboard! Good to see you had fun in Cologne! It slipped my mind to go to Luxemburg, but when a little later they announced 2 gigs in Holland, I decided to go to both of them instead. If Luxemburg is within reach for you, Tilburg might be too? We are going to meet several friends there. Tickets are still available, if I’m right.

    few Tilburg 2013 concert posters (I’d be happy to trade one).[/quote:2ycyzh8n]
    I’m interested. What are you looking for?

    Meanwhile building on my own humble legacy…

    It cost me 2 months budget, but I obtained 5 stunning items the past few days. Part of this is sponsored by my wife though, who still had to give me a birthday present lol. Can’t wait to receive them! 8)

    -I Am One 7\" US (my current forum avatar lol)
    -Bullet With Butterfly Wings Townhouse UK acetate
    (talking about Ayoe, she once owned this Townhouse rarity, it will now be reunited with Townhouse Cherub Rock)
    -Batman & Robin interview promo (contains The End Is The Beginning Is The End)
    -2 rare unused Sub Pop/Caroline posters


    Arthur
    Spectator

    Yes, it’s a good thing. Unfortunately she had to leave the SP collecting community, but her legacy lives on. Some of it in my collection, but I’m sure she is fine with that. Maybe she is even reading this shit sometimes. Rock on, Ayoe! 8)

    I’m waiting for a promotional copy of American Gothic to arrive. Recently added a Tarantula promo and a That’s The Way promo to my collection. :)[/quote:3dkepkjb]
    I see a new Ayoe standing up here… (inside joke, King, I’ll explain @SP gig in July lol)

    This is the cheapest CD version I’ve found so far. Not bad at £61.08.[/quote:1gql2po4]
    Price has changed to £63.02 :?
    But indeed, not bad. Most other places, even Amazon in other countries, ask a lot more.

    Same thoughts here, but Brandon knows this already. I sent him my email last night. :cry:

    You can check his collection list on SPfreaks.com under the same account name: ‘some pumpkins’. Log in there, and ask for his Ownerlist. Bullet With Butterfly Wings (Townhouse promo CD) and Batman Germany promo CD (the one with the actors on front) are not available anymore, by the way.

    Upcoming events:

    Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa on Juny 29
    System of a Down on August 21

    And in July I’m going to see Smashing Pumpkins two times. What a summer! 8)

    Interesting info, Bram. The matrix codes on my vinyl are:

    P. USA -26098- 5099997855316 -DISC1- A (on side A)
    AR – Dallas – SPGII P. USA 5099997855316 -DISC-1. B -26098- (on side B)

    No wonder why Amazon CA was suddenly dumping these on the market. ;)
    I have no issues playing side A and B though.
