It just seems kind of an odd choice for an acoustic tour? I wish someone would take a pic of the merch booth with their iPhone so we could see everything they sold.

It was signed by Thurston. The poster itself wasn't anything fancy. Looked like a large xeroxed image w/ Thurston's signature in white ink. Definitely not a Dennis Tyfus poster. I don't remember seeing a Demolished Thoughts tee, just the trees one. However, I think one with a typo would be cooler than the regular one...adds character and stuff. I was a bit surprised to see TV shit, as well. One of my least favorite Sonic releases, even though they sound as if they are having a lot of fun on it. Why does he have the Black Flag logo on his drum head? Not sure...but they made several references to hardcore through out the night (Thurston mentioned SS Decontrol in a poem he recited). I'm sure they all grew up listening to Black Flag. Were a couple moments where it sounded as if they were about to break into some acoustic hardcore tunage, but stopped each time. Was fun. Also, Demolished Thoughts were originally the name of Thurston's hardcore cover band, 'less we forget. He's notorious for making references to all sorts of music (he mentioned Merzbow at the show too, as well as Guided by Voices). He's an eclectic individual with eclectic taste, which is always a good thing. Would have been far too cliche had they a pic of Bob Dylan on the drum head....just something generic and expected for an acoustic gig. The Black Flag bars looked gorgeous and it made me happy to see them.
And I hate to break it to ya....but anyone taking pictures at the gig were far more interested in taking pics of the actual show than they were the merch booth...I mean, pretty much all of that stuff is available online.
