I am not surprised...so far I have received nothing special that the supposed fan club was to offer. I can bet that after this year is up with the membership, that they will have a significantly lower renewal request. Everyone is fed up! What a crock! Oh well..this topic has been there and done that. Its time to enjoy the shows and hope for a "real" video!

Why, you can go and buy one at Fanfire...didn't you know that? your exclusive fan club tshirts are for sale for only 24.95...yet another lie...another lie another lie. And, if anyone read the small print bout how fanfire works, this supports the fact that JT is behind all the merch now.

What a piece of sh*t. I cannot believe that ANYONE is still supporting him. What is wrong with ppl? Can you not see the forest for the trees? Do you have more money than God and don't care? Do you not feel like a flippin fool for following him and dissing your fellow fans in the process? Is a FREE T SHIRT really worth it to those who were bribed to support and write glowing letters? Well, all I can say is that I hope that when it is all said and done that the ppl who have stood against fans with that man realize that they have lost their community friends in the process and I would bet the farm that the fan site, the mick site all of it will be gone within one year, but, guess what? We won't be gone.

And to those who feel like that got or have power now because they supported him, you got your pieces of silver. Hope that it always shines bright enough for you. Maybe you can frame it and put in next to your egyptian jewelry.

Whew! I'm getting a headache...

I'm going to the Philly show tonight and I just stopped by the board this AM to make sure I know all I need to know for tonight.

This is supposed to be a happy day for me !!!!!!!!!

Now I'm going to spend all day stewing over whether or not to buy a t-shirt.

Anyway, calming down now, I never expect much from tour t-shirts. My red TISL shirt is in mint condition. Why? Because I never wore it! I packed it away in my hope chest where I put all the clothes I want to save.

My white TISL album cover t-shirt, however, is a mess. It turned yellowish and was worn out by the end of the summer. Why? Because I USED it. (and I always washed it in cold water and hung to dry)

Isn't that the point of buying a shirt? To wear it and wear it out. To enjoy when some stranger walking by says, "hey, FM" or "hey, Stevie Nicks! Love her."

I have NEVER known whose pockets I was lining at any other artists concerts I have attended. And I didn't care. I don't buy/not buy with someone else in mind. I buy/not buy based on what will make ME happy.

But thanks to whoever posted about the shirts on the street with tour dates on the back. Love the shirts with tour dates and I will keep a sharp eye out for someone selling them.

I am going to have a GREAT time tonight, and I guarantee you, Jonathan Todd's name will not even cross my mind. After all, he's a flash in the pan....my memories and my t-shirt I'll have forever.

What is up with the continual OLD DESIGNS on their TOUR SHIRTS???

Get RID of the Rumours cover shirts! Seen enough already!

The penguin is old news too. Ive seen that on a shirt too.

Normally I would go so far as to buy a teddy bear, but this one - yuck. The little "FM" shirt design is awful and fits the bear akwardly.

Is it me - or is that "flying figures" shirt just bizarre?

Thanks for posting the link however. Ill buy mine in advance to save some money.

Well at the show I was at Saturday they had alot of t shirts...they had a light blue SYW t shirt with their faces on it..I didn't like it. They had a Rumours shirt with the album on the cover...they had a SYW black shirt that I bought because it was sharp,they had a Peacekeeper black t shirt, they had a 75 year shirt, they had floating SYW shirts in red and white I believe ( yes, they did look strange) and thats about it. They looked nice so I got one. They also had a red hat, a teddy bear and a keychain for 5 bucks, I bought that as well.

I didn't see anything else and they had LOTS of stands and they were all filled with people..so they are selling well. Half the people put their shirts right on. I say buy it, I did and I don't care, I wanted a momento.

Sorry, a 75 year shirt? Please explain what that means.

Maybe she means the penguin design in black? That was the previous design I was referencing.

HA with shipping the total was $32.xx (compared to what, $35 at the show?) so I decided to wait. I only wanted one anyway. If I wanted several (I practically got every shirt at the TISL tour) it would have been financially good, but just for one... Ill wait.

tamaraluvsFM · #54 05-19-2003, 04:13 PM

Anyone seen these penguin "member" shirts being offered at the concerts? I just checked fanfire again and looked at them. Of course it says member exclusive but anyone can get it. Just wondering since all the shirts here were at the concerts, if this one is too?

I guess I am going to cave and buy another shirt at the concert....I want to wear the one I bought but since I have been hearing the horror stories...I am leary as I want to save it. But as someone so nicely put, its nice to wear them and show the world I love FM...

Maybe tour books will be out by the Nashville concert....any word on that either?

I bought the black "Fleetwood Mac World Tour 2003" shirt with the bands faces on the front. The back says "What's the world comin to?" and lists cities.

Shirt says "world tour", must be true, right?

Also, I didn't see any red hats, the hats were all black.

And I don't think anyone mentioned the coffee mug for $15.

As far as sizing, 2 shirts were offered in XXL, and one was offered in youth sizes.

I wore the black TISL shirt with Rhiannon Stevie on the front and cities on the back. Got some compliments! Love that!

a Coffee Mug, What is on it?
I had a TISL one but broke it last month while doing some rearranging in my room

My next question is where is this tourbook? I am getting pretty annoyed with the delay on this unless this was a lie. My two shows are coming up soon. So if it is fact I hope it will be ready for the Worcester shows.

ERigby818 · #57 05-20-2003, 05:54 PM

Is the mug porcelain/clay or plastic? What color, and what's on it?
Just curious.

The mug is black ceramic with "Fleetwood Mac" in red lettering.

I didn't look at it up close because I own way too many coffee mugs, but I think I could see it well enough to describe it to you.

It looked good.

Isn't anyone appalled at how bad the tour merchanise is? An f-in teddy bear? A Rumours shirt? The shirts I've seen looked as if monkeys designed them. In fact, monkeys would have done a better job, considering it looks like people who are responsible put 2 minutes worth of effort into them. For the first time, aside from the fan club debacle, I feel like fans are really getting fleeced.

And all the hope for a tour program? If it materializes at all, do you expect it to be of a high quality (in addition to a high price)?
Don't bet on it!

The band members and record company are ultimately responsible. They hire the inept, unprofessional people who are in charge of such things. If I were one of the band members, I'd feel ashamed of feeding fans such glaringly substandard crap. Apparently the care and time they put into making their music doesn't extend to their ancillary marketing efforts. They seem so far out of touch with their fan base. It's all inexcusable.

I don't foresee any hope on the tourbook front

And who knows if it will have anything new in it or just the same pics we've already seen. They should have been out by now as we are definitely many shows into this tour. UGHHHH!! Can you tell how annoyed the tourbook subject is with me?!
