I'm not disagreeing, but unless I'm picking stuff up at a gig, I tend not to buy anymore when I used to buy constantly.


I usualy get all my band stuff at gig cause none of the shops sell anything like that anymore. I getting a t-shirt and a puppet in London hope the puppets don't get sold out ^-^

That's always the best way to do it, for sure. When I was living in Colorado, the are in which I lived was a little remote, so ordering online was pretty much all I did for anything you couldn't find at Walmart. I kind of became accustomed to things like shipping charges and such.

It was nice to actually go to a Dev show and buy a shirt and a couple of puppets. Dev's merch prices are resonable at the venues. I remember back in the 90's some of the big bands were charging $35 - $40 for t-shirts at the venues, and the quality was shit! Metallica! Yes, you! I am looking in your direction!

I still have every tour shirt I've ever purchased. I had a girlfriend for a while that had this great idea of turning my old shirts into quilts and throw-pillows, but she never got around to it. I still like that idea, though. Someday I'll either learn to do, or have someone do something like that for me.

Mine arrived yesterday.

..But I'm not allowed to see it or hold it or drink with it until Christmas.

I hate your birthday party being so far away, Jesus!

You know, some scholar's believe that Jesus was actually born in Spring, therefore you are way past due for opening it.

This is logic I like.

Everyone seems to have been debating this whole "what would Jesus do" thing for so long - clearly the answer is "open up his Ziltoid doll and waste considerable chunks of his life playing with a puppet"

Has anyone who was not able to get their puppet at the VIP gotten theirs yet? They said they would mail them to us but we (my 2 friends and myself) haven't received'em yet. Just wondering if anyone else has?

The O Merch site is the HevyDevy store now, unless Dev puts them up on eBay.


Oh, I realize that. I meant to put "for sale from Hevydevy, or on eBay".

The frustrating thing is that I'm from UK, but moved to Canada about 7 years ago. Back then I had to order all my Devin stuff from the Canadian store, and Devin didn't used to do a lot of gigs in the UK. Now I live in BC though, pretty close to where Devin actually lives, and I now have to order merch from the UK. Also, it feels like he does a gig there like every week now! I might be exaggerating there :)

It didn't used to be too bad doing it Canada to UK, because the exchange rate meant you'd get a great deal. Going the other way is nasty though. Shipping alone on the puppet is close to $15!

Maybe I'll try and catch him on Twitter and see if there are eBay plans...

They still do up here. I went to see Slayer a couple of months ago, and the shirts were going for $40 each. They were shit quality too (American Apparel), and also had Rob Zombie on them. I passed, then when I got home and went to their site and saw they were flogging t-shirt from the last tour for $12!

The only thing about getting merch at gigs is the HUGE line-up, then having to hold on to all your shit while you get kicked around int he pit. I've learnt from experience never to buy anything breakable :)

Still haven't gotten mine either. I was at the Baltimore show. I tried contacting Dev through Twitter and didn't get a response :cry:

I was at the same show (with my brother), VIP, and neither of us have received puppets either.
