[deludo]

never bought one off the site before...where do i go?

[clwatt3]

His site is worse than OBEY's. Hell, his prints have never even showed up for me.

[dythuger]

When did you get the email? I checked at around 10 et and i never got one from him. Didnt check my email this morning though, and of course i cant from work.

[McGinnisM]

Yeah, these drops are pretty impossible.

[clwatt3]

When did you get the email? I checked at around 10 et and i never got one from him. Didnt check my email this morning though, and of course i cant from work.

I got it sometime while I was at the Gorge...

That doesnt really help, does it?

[ercdmb]

I got the email this morning. I have never been able to get anything off the emek site though so i dont even know if i will bother with this

[dythuger]

ill give it a whirl. A wise man once said, hope for the best and expect the worse. If my shitty memory serves right, that wise man was DM.

[gmunole]

choice of going for this or going for the king? I think I will try the king.

[ercdmb]

If anyone would like me to try for them let me know via pm. i will be home to do so

[McGinnisM]

I really tried hard to get the Prodigy drop, had 3 computers my phone, wife's phone all trying and get shut out. I have up on him after that.

[clwatt3]

u dont own ur avatar print? im waiting to frame that giclee

i have a bunch of emek prints...his attention to detail and doodle fetish makes him one of my top 3 fav artists

i got wilco 05 amsterdam, apw 09 night edition, dead winterland giclee, dcfc sunset 09, and some handbills along with the PNE Club 27 print and this gem:

wow, that one is nuts.

No i dont have the winterland. its next on my list after 1 more dmb ISO. You can really tell that the original image was hand drawn on the coachella. Which is neat to me because all my prints are basically methane. which, from what i think, is all computer done. I have a horkey deadman coming to me, which i am pumped for. Im loving seeing new artists in person.

[EHdmbHEE]

ya i heard the dead man is realll sickk in person

the winterland giclee has so much detail to it...have u seen the blue variant that may be released in a couple months?

Yes.. its really sweet in person.

[BigWhiskey]

[EHdmbHEE]

i might just have to pick one up.

ya each one is 1/1 from an edition of 100...no two are alike

i cant wait to hang mine up one day....its HUGE

i traded a nye mmj burwell for this straight up...got #78 from a great EB member named jmacd

[clwatt3]

Got this in the mail today. Love the doodles. Gonna have to inspect this more later.

[McGinnisM]

I've been looking at my Rothbury over a year now and still finding new things in it.

His detail work is incredible.

[EHdmbHEE]

Got this in the mail today. Love the doodles. Gonna have to inspect this more later.

ditto...yours a double doodle w/a heart in between...amazing work once again
def gonna have to inspect later (mine is flattening as we speak)

[Bluecow003]

Got the Death Cab poster this weekend. It's my first Emek print and I'm impressed! I love the embossed Emek logo and the skull doodles he drew next to his signature. I was considering selling this poster before I saw it in person, but now I think I would have a hard time seeing it go.

[Bluecow003]

New Emek drop:

Summer of 2009 saw my return to lots of festival posters, which i enjoy making.
once again I was asked to create the official limited edition poster for New York's ALL POINTS WEST FESTIVAL 2009.

ALL POINTS WEST was one of the largest 3 day rock festivals, with over 60 bands, like:

TOOL, My Bloody Valentine, Black Keys, Trail of Dead, Kool Keith, Neko Case, Vampire Weekend, Arctic Monkeys, Jay-Z, Coldplay and more. Its an East Coast version of the Coachella Festival.



Our copies are the Artist Edition printed on cream colored paper.
They are Signed, Numbered, Doodled, and Embossed
It is a 9 color silkscreen, 21" x 32" and depicts a large robotic shark making its way to the festival.
Here is a picture of the poster:
http://www.emek.net/emek_apw2009_lg.jpg


The poster will be for sale this Friday October 2 , 2009 at 12:00 noon pacific time, for $75.00 US + shipping
We have a very limited amount.

[IndyDMBFan]

anybody going for this today??

[Bluecow003]

I thought about it, but decided against it. His prints are sick though! Embossed, doodled, the works.

[dythuger]

ill give it a whirl.

[clwatt3]

i CONSIDERED BUT HIS EMAIL SAID IT WAS VERY LIMITED...

[clwatt3]

Damn caps lock get me every time.

[jive]

where does it go on sale at

[Bluecow003]

where does it go on sale at

http://www.emek.net/info.php

I think before any poster purchase I make from now on, I have to ask myself, "would I frame this for my home?" I think it would drastically help me reduce the number of posters I buy.

[dythuger]

wow, that was fast. as soon as the imageloaded clicked buy now and gone. oh well.

[jmstiner]

I got one but does EMEK do the refund thing?

[Bluecow003]

Fuck, I actually got one and it caused me to miss the KC Methane drop, which was the poster I actually wanted more.

[Bluecow003]

I got one but does EMEK do the refund thing?

No, I'm pretty sure you get it if it goes through.

[w8482eat]

Anyone else get one? Digging the print.

[Bluecow003]

I got one, but you could have posted in this thread where we are already talking about it:

http://www.daveposters.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5596&page=2

[jive]

disapointed i missed out, really liked this one but hey i got the KC print which is IMO top 5 prints for DMB this year.

[w8482eat]

Thanks for the move. The EMEK drop - mouseover showed the Death Cab for Cutie. Didn't open the thread.

Bluecow, are you going to the Burlesque sale in Minneapolis?

That's very interesting. I need to cut myself off from buying posters though.

[w8482eat]

I hear ya, but a factory sale where there are some smokin' prints at a decent price would make for some great framers and trade material!!

I'd be rackin' up a fat bill there!

[w8482eat]

Worth checking out since it's free and in yer backyard.

I don't know anything about them. Need me to pick you up anything for a small handling fee? :lol

[w8482eat]

From the photos, looks as though they have all kinds of stuff this weekend. It's been three years since they've done anything similar. Any Horkey prints (which they should since he's a member) I'd be interested in!

So what exactly is this Burlesque thing? I mean you say Horkey is a part of it. If I go, what should I look for?

Did you get the skull phonograph handbill thing too?

[Bluecow003]

The one I got was like a skeleton guitar. Like the neck of the guitar was the spine of the skeleton and the body of the guitar was the rib cage. Pretty cool looking.

what's the difference between the silver skull and the bone skull? i know i've had a long week...but my eyes cannot tell the difference besides some one seems lighter than the other.

I don't follow you...

[ali815]

I was just looking at the victrola skull link on eb and it lists two versions "silver edition" and "bone edition" both released in 04 and both handbills with the same specs etc. I was just trying to tell the difference between the two.

[EHdmbHEE]

Yeah, it's that one.

so jealous...i got a freaking sticker w/the death cab poster

ive been after that bone gee-tar handbill for a while...mostly the velvet or bone edition tho

Yeah, I also got that sticker with the Death Cab poster. I guess he figures when you drop $90 (after shipping) on one of his posters, he sends out nice handbills.

'I'D LOVE TO TURN YOU ON...' (REGULAR EDITION)
This screen print measures 25 x 25 inches. The artwork displays PNE's weird tribute to one of the greatest bands of modern times, The Beatles. Drawing a vibe from their combined childhood love of 1970's carnival art and pop exploitation, the artists of PNE have created the type of kitsch imagery that is a constant feature hiding in the underbelly of rock and roll culture.

The regular edition of this print is signed by all 3 artists and is part of an edition of 200 copies: PNE debuted this piece recently at the TRPS Poster Show in San Francisco, California. As promised, a limited amount of these posters were held back and are now being made available to collectors worldwide via the PNE website this Friday. The print features brilliant psychedelic colors, including a seamless color fade.

Regular Edition: $80 USD + SHIPPING

'I'D LOVE TO TURN YOU ON...' (SPECIAL EDITION)
This special edition of the poster was printed with special metallic inks. With these color variations, the print takes on a different mood. Only 100 of these were produced and a very limited portion of them will be made available this Friday. The print is numbered and signed by all three artists.

Special Edition: $120 USD + SHIPPING

I thought paypal had it set up so they automatically use anything in your paypal account before tapping into bank/CC

[McBong]

I thought paypal had it set up so they automatically use anything in your paypal account before tapping into bank/CC

I thought so too, but it just says primary source as my checking account. Methane and Budich drops it shows it being taken out of your Paypal Account balance as the primary source then secondary source as whatever your regular primary source is.

[TheOcean]

I thought so too, but it just says primary source as my checking account.

My primary is checking as well, if funds aren't there it goes to CC, but when I've had a positive balance they've always taken that first (so there was a 15 dollar charge in my bank when I had 35 already in there)

Edit - Hmmm, I've never seen stuff with Methane drops, I'm usually through there too quickly to notice.

[jiatlas]

it only allows you to buy one print at a time. cannot buy one of each print as one payment.

[McBong]

Oh well, its not that great, and very pass worthy, and too expensive for the regular edition. The variant is nice though, but hell no for the money.

[TheOcean]

I would take the variant over the original, but not for that money. I finally got to the point where I don't think my CC will be maxed by my next paycheck. I think this is a positive step :-)

[jiatlas]

Oh well, its not that great, and very pass worthy, and too expensive for the regular edition. The variant is nice though, but hell no for the money.

i agree. not sure if im going to get any, but just wanted to see if i could get both. and it does let me now. i had to go to the buy page and then add 1 of each.

Bleh, it looks horrible on pictures. The foil edition looked cool, but this print gets a :thumbsdown:thumbsdown from me.

[Swtworld41]

foil up $300!!!!!

tried for the variant, got all the way through and then i got 'timed out'...i assume that happens when they run out.

ended up with a regular edition, might give it to my mom or something.

sooooo.......Why did you have one in your cart? If it's a :thumbsdown :thumbsdown print why even bother?

all gone

So glad I that didnt drop when I was looking

HAHA.....you and me both, picked up a 1st ed. I for one really like this print.....I guess we'll see in person.

[gmunole]

I saw the foil print on EB and thought it was sweet. I would had have buyers remorse spending 300 on that. But it would have been cool to see in person.

[McBong]

sooooo.......Why did you have one in your cart? If it's a :thumbsdown :thumbsdown print why even bother?

Because I saw the picture AFTER I tried. I only saw pics of the foil, but its hard to see the image on a foil.

[gmunole]

Because I saw the picture AFTER I tried. I only saw pics of the foil, but its hard to see the image on the poster.

true but a print run of 13, that makes the gallery edition of 27 club look easy to get.

I picked up a variant....I like it.

[gmunole]

regular version back up

[McBong]

Eh, you could have a print of 13 on the Mansfield Suitcases but it doesn't make it cool. Not a fan.

[Swtworld41]

Because I saw the picture AFTER I tried. I only saw pics of the foil, but its hard to see the image on a foil.

I agree. The EB pics of the foil are not very impressive.

the only thing that bothers me is the tape over paul's mouth

John and George look amazing, but Paul and Ringo look bleh, especially Ringo, and the tape over the mouth is just :loco.

Oh well Ill stop my :bitch now

Anyone get the Crooked Vultures email? How hard will this be to get compared to, say, a Budich drop?

[Bluecow003]

Anyone get the Crooked Vultures email? How hard will this be to get compared to, say, a Budich drop?

I got it. I've scored on the only 2 Emek drops I've tried on, but I think this one will be very hard. The EB page says there are only 10 in the print run and they weren't even sold at the show. There was a contest to win one of them at the show supposedly.

[McGinnisM]

Anyone get the Crooked Vultures email? How hard will this be to get compared to, say, a Budich drop?

1000x times harder than a Methane or Budich drop.

[Bluecow003]

1000x times harder than a Methane or Budich drop.

Emek drops in general are actually about as easy, I've never had a problem. This one in particular might be tough though.

[Swtworld41]

WTF was that???? I at least saw the "buy" button today

[TheOcean]

haha, I still can't get to the web page so....feel lucky?

me too. another window showed up, then disappeared.

[michdmbfan]

Any advice..
My first EMEK drop today, I tried for the Vultures print.... and Fail...

So during the drop, I see the buy now button, and click on it, then this new window opens up and ...... nothing. Just a blank window. So I close it, see the buy now button still, and trie again and.... blank window thing.

Is this normal?

Edit, I see I am not the only one with this issue.

[michdmbfan]

FYI from the email that was on EB


Be aware that the system might close the store if too many orders are processed at once,
you will see the message SOLD OUT OR TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK, wait a few minutes and refresh,
because if posters are still available, then the store will reopen a few minutes later.
When the poster does sell out completely, the store will display: STORE IS NOW CLOSED

[TheOcean]

Dont' worry man, you missed nothing. (But maybe some frustration)

I would rather never gotten to the site, then to get there, time your F5 perfectly, execute a perfect Buy Now click, only to see the pop up window just blank out.... and you sit there saying, hmm, what does THIS mean?

No, you are better off the way it happened....

If you aren't looking to keep it let me know........

[Bluecow003]

I saw the button and hit buy, a new window popped up, and then it closed. That was rough. I was 2 for 2 on Emek drops before this one.

[Beekman47]

I had the same thing with the buy now button and the little blank window. 2 times that happened and then all of a sudden a paypal window opened up. I was able to get one unless they are like the Budich drops and you get refunded - anybody know?

Its true - there was a contest at the show for them since they didnt even sell them there. Great show btw.

[jadicicco]

A blank window popped up for me but like 20 seconds later it directed me to paypal to pay for it

[jiatlas]

I got one...

did the wundow pop up and work?

too slow

[michdmbfan]

Can you coach me through what happened, so I know for the future?

Did you close the little windows? Was it the third time you clicked Buy Now that the Paypal window opened? Where you wearing magic underwear?

Just looking for clues..

Thanks

[clwatt3]

oh it is sold out now. but keep trying if you have time to kill.

:lol

[Bluecow003]

Well the new window that opens up is supposed to take you to Paypal. This time it opened up and then closed.

[michdmbfan]

Man, I can promise you I didn't wait 20 seconds. That's an eternity in drop time. I bet that screwed me. Thanks for the info.

[Beekman47]

First time Emek drop for me but I did close the little window 2 times.

[jadicicco]

ha I just clicked the buy it button once and a blank window popped up i just let it go and after about 20 seconds the paypal site loaded

[Bluecow003]

That window closed on it's own for me and then it took me to the store where it said all posters had been sold. It didn't even show the picture of the poster being sold. When I went out of his site and then back to the store the picture was back. I don't know what happened, but I know I didn't close the window that popped up.

exact same thing happened to me

[Bluecow003]

That drop was a lot rougher than the other Emek drops I've participated in.

[DMBfan]

great poster too...

[michdmbfan]

I just sent this email to Mr. Emek. Now it's time to just sit back and wait for results.

Dear Mr. Emek,

I recently attempted to purchase one of your fine art prints, Them Crooked Vultures. I find this print very enjoyable and highly desirable. While attempting to use your web site to purchase said print, I had this little pop-up window open and nothing happened. Alas, I was unsuccessful. I find this very disappointing. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries.


Good day

[TheOcean]

I sent that same thing to Budich after the Carter drop....weird.

Edit - +20 points by the way.

[Swtworld41]

great poster too...

great band...(from what I've heard)

[PhishDMB]

great band...(from what I've heard)

Definetly see them if you have the chance. AWESOME SHOW

Hi everyone,
For those of you who participated in our sale today for Them Crooked Vultures, Paypal had a malfunction.
we have been on the phone with them ever since trying to find out what happened
so far the only answer we have is wait 24 hours to see if the sales show up. so we cannot confirm how many purchases went through because more than half of them disappeared a few moments after they were placed.

Please bare with us as we sort out this unfortunate event.
We apologize for the inconvenience
and will get back to you as soon as possible

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Damn, between Emek & Budich, Paypal is lettin everyone down lately.

[TheOcean]

haha, who knows, maybe tomorrow they'll be more dropped cause only 5 went through paypal.

Can finally get through at home.

[DMBNirvana]

I was looking through Emek's website... anyone notice that the Phish poster is for sale... for $1 million dollars? Not a bad price... :)

Anyone get any resolution from yesterday's crooked vultures mishap? Anyone actually get confirmed for one?

[TheOcean]

FYI - For those on the mailing list.

Hi
sorry to bother you again,

Thank you for your patience
The orders that we can confirm have been processed.

As some of you know, after you placed your order in paypal there was a white flash and the order never actually went through. We had a similar experience, we saw pages of CONFIRMED orders come through then all of a sudden disappear before our eyes. they have not reappeared as paypal was hoping.

If you received an email today direct from us confirming your order or stating that a label was made for your order then all is fine.
If you did not receive an email today then unfortunately your order did not go through -

Please check your paypal account and make sure paypal didnt take money from you.

We don't want to risk another paypal error with this poster and we feel a simple contest is the most fair way to redo the sale...

If you would like to try again, guess a number between 1 and 100.
Put that number ONLY in the subject of your email
we will not be reading the emails, only looking at the subjects.

ONE GUESS PER PERSON PLEASE (or you will be disqualified)

Please email us at emek@emek.net between NOW and Tuesday Nov. 3rd, by 12:00 noon pacific time.

Winners will be notified within 24 hours with instructions for placing an order

Sorry for the inconvenience
Thank you
Emek

[jiatlas]

i really hope that since paypal malfunctioned, i will be able to get one of these prints since i didnt know id have to wait 20 seconds for the payment screen to load on the initial drop and failed the drop.

[ali815]

good luck everyone! if anyone scores, please post pics when you receive it! this print looks killer!!

[jiatlas]

do we know how many will be sold through this contest?

[jiatlas]

anyone get an email yet?

[Bluecow003]

anyone get an email yet?

Haven't seen anything yet. I imagine we'll hear more about it Wednesday.

[ali815]

number was 63, the age of John Paul Jones. Had to get the number or something 'close enough'

[jiatlas]

[ali815]

[clwatt3]

Knew i shoulda guessed 66 instead of 3.

[ali815]

http://www.thefadedline.com/carnivorus-batik.aspx

...I like it.



EDIT: sold out

Did you grab one ali?

[ali815]

I did, and now I feel a little sick (though excited to see it). Think the batik came to about 140 and the TCV print was 90. Rent is due tomorrow and I think I might do a quickie sale of some other prints to cover. I was really wanting the Fairey print tomorrow, but I'm going to do my best to refrain. I need to sit in the anon thread for a bit.

[jadicicco]

i got mine yesterday it looks amazing...will post pictures later

[clwatt3]

Lily?

[ali815]

yeah, I love the color...but I think I'll just close the computer and stay away.

[TDunk]

damn that hangy thing would've looked sweet in my office. oh well

[gmunole]

number was 63, the age of John Paul Jones. Had to get the number or something 'close enough'

I guessed 69 :sadie

[Swtworld41]

Just got my PNE "I'd Love To Turn You On"1st ed. In case anyone you wondering, the colors are as bright and awesome as they are in the scan. Beautiful print!!

[TDunk]

i got mine too and i regret buying it. buyers remorse. haven't opened it yet though.

HA! you should, it may make you feel better....although I'm a pretty big Beatles fan, so I may be a little bias.

[ali815]

does emek do shipping notices to your email, or do they just send it out? I can't remember. I am probably going to be out of town for the beginning of the week and was wondering how they do shipping.

[ThePrestige]

does emek do shipping notices to your email, or do they just send it out? I can't remember. I am probably going to be out of town for the beginning of the week and was wondering how they do shipping.

The last EMEK I got it just arrived at my door. Actually any emek that I got through his site has just arrived.

A couple that were sold through other sites I got tracking.

Also I haven't bought an emek for at least a year.

[ali815]

oh okay cool. well usually his stuff arrives lightning fast as it's just one state over...I'll have to keep my peepers peeled for it and if I'm gone, will hopefully get my neighbor to grab it. It's been nothing but thunder/lighting/insane downpours the last few days and I don't want to ruin my poster!!!

[ThePrestige]

Well I hope your there, your neighbor grabs it, or no rain.

Like I said I have been away from emeks for a while but I think this is the first time I heard emek and lightning fast in the same sentence.

hahaha I think I bought a print and it was here like 2 days later. Maybe 3. But still. I couldn't believe it. And I was just trying to check my emails to see if I got a shipping notice and I don't think I did, unless I deleted it and just forgot.

[ali815]

wow. nevermind.

just got shipping confirmation. :lol

[ThePrestige]

:lmao

at least you know.

[BigWhiskey]

check this bad boy out #ed to 15

[dmtr]

check this bad boy out #ed to 15

Damn, tell me more about this.

[BigWhiskey]

27x24 black ink on glitter foil

[EHdmbHEE]

looks to be s/n and skull doodled by emek..no robert johhson or other cloud details, etc. tho...i like it tho...its a shiner type of foil and im trying to decipher words in cobain's smoke squigglies

[BigWhiskey]

i am working on getting the orange edition of this. It is numbered to 3. I found one i just dont know what the price is yet

[gmunole]

neither are on EB,

I saw the orange one on Hampton's website, but I have not seen the foil one. Where was it sold?

edit:
EB has them both. They have the foil listed has a handbill and smaller in size.

[BigWhiskey]

There is only three orange variants out there and they are the artists personal copies. I am also working on getting the foil Beatles PNE.. That one looks more promising though

[EHdmbHEE]

how can I get the winterland dead poster?!?!?!

buy the box set off dead.net to get the offset cd edition lithograph but no poster talk yet

[BigWhiskey]

Ok so i finally nailed down the two PNE foils so far and i got one of the three to sell me a test print that is 1/1. Also jermaine is going to do me a favor on the beatles foil. Ill post some pics when i get this bad boy in my hands

[EHdmbHEE]

u mean 27 club foil and Beatles foil or 2 foils of one?

[gmunole]

Are you trying to get ever edition of PNE printed?

[BigWhiskey]

1 foil of each

and nope just the rare ones.

[gmunole]

did you get the nowhere edition of the 27 club?

[BigWhiskey]

no i was offered a nowhere print though on white paper from one of them said it is numbered to 10. I went with a foil of each...I think that i got the last ones. I also got a test print 1/1 of 27 club

[EHdmbHEE]

what do you mean a foil of each if theres only one 27 club image/print?

[dasmitty11]

what do you mean a foil of each if theres only one 27 club image/print?

pne prints

27 club
beatles

[BigWhiskey]

Yup foil of 27 club and a foil of the Beatles

[Swtworld41]

still in stock

http://www.postersandtoys.net/servlet/Detail?no=991

[Swtworld41]

nevermind

[BigWhiskey]

I tried for the foil but it was gone instantly

[Bluecow003]

I finally was able to get it through Emek's store. It took 5 times of seeing the Buy It Now button before I finally got through. Every other time it would open a new window for Paypal and then close it.

[Swtworld41]

yeah, I knew no chance so I went with the 1st ed. I hope EMEK has Mitch do dual drops like this again, it went so smooth.

[Bluecow003]

$300 for the variant? That's pretty nuts. So the P&T sale went smooth? Emek's site was a little stressful with his on again off again Buy button. Might have to try P&T next time, I've never bought from them before.

[EHdmbHEE]

I tried for the foil but it was gone instantly

there was a foil avail for this decembrists print?!?!

i didnt try for either but jsut curious...i heard of a possible variant didnt think it would be a foil for sale

[BigWhiskey]

I could have gotten a regular but i really wanted the foil and it went super fast

[EHdmbHEE]

http://www.expressobeans.com/public/detail.php/115221

i didnt really like this print b4 but the foil on black stock looks sickkkk
editon/60 not too shabby but $300 is a lot for a poster whose show i did not attend but i wouldnt be surprised if it came with a handbill variant

any idea how many foils went for sale and whose site had them?

[Swtworld41]

$300 for the variant? That's pretty nuts. So the P&T sale went smooth? Emek's site was a little stressful with his on again off again Buy button. Might have to try P&T next time, I've never bought from them before.



Yep, this is the second purchase I've made from P&T (DD was the first) and both have been great.

[Bluecow003]

I got the Decemberists poster today. It is just stunning. It's also awesome that it included a handbill version that is also signed and numbered.

[thesavageguy]

If anyone got a foil, I'm really hoping to acquire and frame....as I actually went to one of these shows! I can cash or trade! Perhaps my HB06 for it? Just throwing that out there!

Cheers!

[BigWhiskey]

I know i already posted a pic of the 27 club foil but i got mine from EMEK the other day and this one shows exactly how much the sparkle foil pops. If someone can explain to me how to make pictures smaller and show up rather than a link that would be great

Use a site like Photobucket to upload the picture to the internet. In Photobucket, copy the "image" code of the picture and paste in the forum. The picture will show up right in the post.

[BigWhiskey]

alright cool thanks man

Am I seriously the only one who went for this? I jumped at the chance of owning a signature Emek piece (it's the animation seen on his homepage, http://www.emek.net/) on a sheet of metal no less!

I got in on the Klausen puzzle but didn't try for the metal print. Be my luck I'd finally win something and then I'd have to pay another $230 to get it. haha.

[TDunk]

trying for the spoon emek...love spoon

[PapaVo]

Scored the three puzzles ... only trying for two of the metal prints though (Emeks)

Will try for the Spoon too ... good luck!

Im 0-5 on Emek drops..matter of fact the only drop I've ever scored on was a Jimi Budich....stop the presses

[Bluecow003]

Im 0-5 on Emek drops..matter of fact the only drop I've ever scored on was a Jimi Budich....stop the presses

The only Emek drop I've missed is the Them Crooked Vultures one, but tons of people got screwed on that one so he had to do a guess a number thing.

[Swtworld41]

Im 0-5 on Emek drops..matter of fact the only drop I've ever scored on was a Jimi Budich....stop the presses

I was 0-4, but than got hooked up on the Decemberists drop, now I'm hooked; I'll be there tomorrow.

Oh, and I picked up a Klausen puzzle, but didn't want to pay for 11.00 shipping for a second time on the EMEK.

[RiotAct]

good luck to everyone!

[McGinnisM]

I'm going to give it a shot but I'm on a "break room" computer which means it's slower than I don't even know what. Let's see how this goes.

[RiotAct]

At least the site's still running smoothly, which is more than I can say for most Methane drops.
