I don't mean they called, I mean they physically went into the store on the Thursday to buy things and was told there were none left at all. They even asked more than one member of staff to make sure.

I found my Reverse TMLYM behind the counter Friday afternoon (LUCKY), along with a set of the yellows and BLUE t-shirt, BLUE badge, BLUE patch and Reverse ICYLaB. By 5 pm or so, there were 20 +/- copies of each yellow single left. The BLUE store was locked and only being opened on request or randomly. Ben S was there until closing.
Then I went to see It Might Get Loud in Pasadena.
I got that deep into variants once before with a collection, please shoot me if I go there again, it will drive you crazy I promise...
But nice stuff for sure.

3 years and 3 days after that insane project I am bumping this thread after I finding a picture in my old HDD.
I am not sure it was previously posted (if it did it certainly doesnt load now).

And reposting this cool video (I noticed something that wasnt that probably didnt see back then: Swank's shirt is blue instead of yellow to match the bizarro style of the popup store)

I think they only made one for the store. A regular copy with a slick applied. I thought I heard that Rob Jones now has it but may be mistaken.

Isn't love_islander's avatar this? I've never seen a close-up of this, so I'm interested as well how this actually looks like.

It was. I can't remember where I got the picture, but I know if I zoom in, it doesn't look pretty. I'd also love to get a glimpse of the real thing

Thanks for re posting I forgot all about this. I wonder how many people got the joke on the day? Alison in the background taking pics cracks me up.
