Really liking the New York Dolls T-shirt that Sawao is wearing! Thank you for the pics and the stories.

Sorry if I missed this info elsewhere on the site, but what Discord group is everyone talking about? How might I join?

Original thread (with invite link) is here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8320

Good to know, thanks for the update! But I'm on the page and I'm not seeing where to sign up for the lottery.

It's this page, right? http://www.adultswim.com/presents/sdcc-18/

I clicked the "Sign up for details & schedule" link and subscribed to their list, but I'm not sure that's the same thing...

You'll have to go to the actual Adult Swim State Park outside of the convention center to enter the lottery (and play games for more chances). The sign up on the website is more like general info emails about the event.

Got it, I can do that. I work walking distance from the Convention Center anyway.

Do you know what street it's on?

EDIT: Nevermind, I see it's on 5th right in front of the convention center.

I only got a pic with Shin this year...

That's a super high quality photo, nice shot! And the shirt is so fitting

Anyone have an extra colored Busters on a gray shirt (size small) they can part with? Can pay shirt price + shipping.

The SF show was pretty awesome. Great to hear TYMT and Freebee Honey live (don't think they've ever played those in the US before). Really digging Star Overhead also.

Is Manabe playing some new version of his Sago Rutile? Or is that some kind of Jaguar or Jazzmaster?

They actually did play Freebee Honey during the first American tour in 2005. They also played Terminal Heaven's Rock and I Know You because they were pushing the English release of Penalty Life. They decided to release that album instead of Good Dreams at that time because PL had "an anime-type cover". I actually remember hearing them playing Freebee Honey during soundcheck at the Chicago show and about flipped my shit.... and then actually did when they played it during the show!

I'm really glad they included it on the FLCL 2 soundtrack and played it live again. It's still in my top 10 favorite songs by the pillows to this day.
