It is happening. Confirmed on stage last night. I do wonder what will be on Cherry Tree tomorrow night. Vinyl is out in November though.

I got a signed test pressing last night. Our flight home lands around noon, so I should hopefully be spinning it around 1:30pm.

I truly am! Last night was show #50 for me. I did not stay for rail, it was too hot and 12 hours standing would have caused my RA to flare and make today miserable. So we chilled, going back and forth to our hotel.
Of course, I was pissy since it was crowded, and I wasn’t up close for HV
We did move over to the side stage, where it was much less crowded. Matt decided to run into the crowd during Mr. Nov, and he came out near us. He saw my husband first, fist bumped him, then saw me, stopped and we sang a few bars together. That and the test pressing made it a great night.Oh, earlier in the day I got to chat with Tom Berninger, who was filming and shooting stills. He is still working on a follow up film to Mistaken for Strangers.
Just after Patti Smith’s set, I was talking to Matt’s mom and mentioned it was my 50th show. She insisted a camera man come over and interview me
No idea if the footage will ever be used, but it was fun. She asked my name and told me that she “stalks me“ on FB because I always say nice things about the band 
it really was a great day, caught up with so many friends I’ve met through this band over the years. And, tonight, I finally will complete TWFM when they play Fireproof.

I wish you were, too. We will cross paths at a Nats show one day… perhaps in the spring! New album means more tour dates!
on a completely irrelevant tangent… I have now seen both Pearl Jam and The National 51 times. PJ should be ahead by one, but the Indy show last weekend was postponed. I wonder which band will hit 52 first?

I am definitely hoping for another round of tour dates next year.

I’m not sure if anyone mentioned it, but Matt said the vinyl comes out in Nov. But you have a great point, there may be CT variants up for preorder. I’ve had a total of 8 hours sleep since Thurs night and am exhausted, but now I have to get up at midnight to check!
As an aside, he also said that there would be vinyls available to purchase after the show and on Sat morning at the merch stand. When he said “vinyls” I will admit I cringed.

Yeah I saw he said it would be out in November, but I was assuming that meant they would actually be released then - with pre-orders going live tonight. I hope I'm not wrong in that assumption. I have a feeling there will be a CT variant up tonight.

Yep and I'm sure a Spotify version as well. If anyone sees a Spotify version tag me and I will do the same @threesunrises @Bennnnn Hoping we get a Magnolia version as well, doubt we will see a VMP version for this.
