merchandise
 

was there any new merchandise at the show last night or tourbooks?

I read somewhere that there are new tshirts, but I can't remember any specifics. seems like they were not impressive, but I can't swear to it.

I think there are black and red shirts with the CV cover printed on the front.

There was no tourbook. A couple new shirts. One with the cv cover on it...one red one that just said Crystal Visions...you could get a magnet or keychain! lol...they didn't even have little stuffed bears or anything....sad

Well if Stevie's previous tours have taught us anything then we know that the first few nights of the tour don't have much in terms of shirts or stuff. The tourbook, and there has been one for every full tour since '83, is never ready for the first night. I saw her on her opening night for the Enchanted tour and there was no tourbook then either. Didn't show up until almost two weeks later. Gotta love Christopher!

The T shirts are sort of lame. I saw a photo of two of them, taken by a cell phone. I love the CV cover so that shirt is ok but the other one is just plain as Hell. No tourbook of course, but there is never one opening night. I don't even know that they are doing one this tour. I hope so, even though it will probably be as lame as the Gold Dust book. << seriously, that has to be the worst tourbook ever made. Between the horrible font and the unflattering photos they chose of Stevie, it just wasn't that great.

Pics of Merch
 

Sorry, terrible shots, but those that wanna sorta glimpse of things, here are some pics I took w/ my cell phone. Not the same ones I think Kelly spoke of, but mine.ven know why I took the last 2 of the magnets and keychains. Sorta easy to explain. :o

It all just looks so...cheap.

Those types of keychains fall apart so easy! The t-shirts don't look too bad though, except for that one that features Stevie's sketch (sorry Stevie :sorry: )

Any sweatshirts?

NO sweatshirts. Yes, the keychains fall apart if you look at them wrong (but I never buy mine to use) and the shirts I have to say are pretty darned nice. I bought the brown one, which is just lovely. A really soft cotton, great pic on the front, and the phrase "the boots are back" on the back. I do like that expression. The red one, though all it says is SN & CV, is just nice in it's simplicity. The beige color one w/ the SN squatting shot, is my 2nd choice for nice. The pic in small on the front, and it's just a nice shirt/layout/desing. FAR better than GDT stuff, and EXCEEDINGLY better than the Vegas tombstone shirts. I have to say I REALLY wonder if Chris is over seeing things this go-round. W/out sounding like I am taking a jab at him, it's really nicer then many things prior...still expensive, but not AS expensive, and after REALLY looking at the shirt, I don't see the standard trademark merchandise log anywhere. The lamest lloking shirt there is the white one w/ the Vegas shot on it. Also, the pink shirt w/ her drawing on it looks dumb as a shirt. I have to say as a sleeveless hoodie, it has some sort of unique factor. As a reg. "t" it goes in the "lucky charms shirt" catagory.

:-( merchandise.... shame the tour isn't coming here for me to be able to buy some. I never wear the tshirts, but buy them of course! lol. I like the keyrings. I'd buy two, one for use (till yes i look at it the wrong way) and one for keep

I cannot really make out the picture on the brown tee, but it is the same blue lamp photo she used for the Enchanted shirt? ( the black with blue photo?) If so, that is dumb. I like the CV cover one though, it looks ok. I hate that pink one with her drawing. The phrase "the boots are back" is cute, although most casual fans would have no idea what the hell it means. :p

T-shirt w/ pic
 

No, that would make zero sense using the BL session photo. Even from a distance I don't think it looks like that, but anyway...I took a pic to clear it up.

Funny, you guys get to see the detail around the pic that I hadn't noticed until yesterday trying to explain it. I think it might be my fav concert shirt ever. It's just really soft. Like twice washed cotton. I'm making no sense....
