[Luke]

Holy shit. Even worse than my college bookstore.

But I'll probably buy it. :no:

that's exactly what i was thinking haha

[Jenkinator3eb]

Nice Birthday gift!

[anodetodrivebys]

what the hell is a book?

[Mitch]

those prices are fucking ridiculous. unless the book is over 200 pages of historic photographs, it's totally not worth it.

[brenan]

alright who the fuck is ApsaraEvents ? it's not "Blurb" that's making this book, it's some fucker with a blurb account, tickets and a camera, hoping to make a buck. If this is you, I'm sorry, but this is just low.

*this is me puking*

[jacobvandy]

:thdown:

[shimmerangel]

those prices are fucking ridiculous. unless the book is over 200 pages of historic photographs, it's totally not worth it.

The description says it's a 100 page book. I completely agree that the amount is ridiculous for this book. There is no reason it needs to be that expensive.

[Mitch]

yeah, i just went to the sight and saw that.

is this thing even authorized? it all sounds shifty to me.

[Matthew]

yeah, i just went to the sight and saw that.

dunno what qualifies as "authorized," but the link is up on 3eb's myspace blog as well...

[Mitch]

oh.

well...it's still ridiculous.

[Brad]

for that price it better at least play a MIDI of the new songs or something when I turn the pages and have some popouts of stephan's tophat, the band members standing on stage, and puke flying out of someone's mouth at the after parties :thup:

[Punkadelica]

Well, I'm assuming it's probably a pretty small pressing, so naturally it seems like it would be a little more expensive than a normal book. Whether it's worth the price is another story.

[Adam]

The link came from James, I'm just passing on information.

Plus, I'd better get a free one for advertising dammit.

[Jamie]

Publication March 9, 2007?? I would buy it if it was cheaper because I will be in a lot of those pictures. We shall see.

[californiarose]

I think its overpriced too, but it does remind me of college textbook prices.


Yeah, I'll probably get it.

[GorgeousButterfly]

That is way too expensive. Here's hoping the price will come down so us po' folk can get our hands on it.

For 100 pages full color I'd pay maybe 20.00 softcover, 30.00 hardcover.

Well I bought it, should be here in a couple of days...I'll let y'all know what's up with it and if it's worth your money. After reading all the posts about the show I missed last night, I felt the need to grab onto anything. So I ordered the book and hopefully it'll cheer me up a little bit. :-) Anyways, like I said - when I get it, I'll let you know.

[GorgeousButterfly]

definitely let us know. I hope it has really good stuff. if so, who knows!!

I know what you mean about wanting *something* new. reading about the show is great, but I sure wish I could have been there last nite or tonite!! cross fingers and hope for boots!

[anodetodrivebys]

nice.

[Knife In The Water]

I love 3eb...but there's no way I'm paying that much for the book, especially since I, along with much of TVCY, probably already know about a lot of what the book has to offer anyways.

I know what you're saying, but I can't help of how nice it'll look on my coffee table. Seriously though, it's expensive, but I couldn't make the shows because of midterms, so I bought it as a present to myself. Like I said, I'll let you know if it's anything worth getting.

I still bought it, even though I went to the concert on the 13th :) I want anything that could help me hold onto that night....it was amazing!!! But I will also let you know about it when I get it

[Yusuf]

I'm hesitant about putting my credit card down for anything that hasn't been printed yet. Once it prints and ships, then I'll purchase a copy. I wouldn't have a problem pre-ordering from a site like Amazon, but I don't know much about this website, to be honest.

If someone can prove me wrong, I'd be happy to hear.

[semaj]

im curious to hear how the book looks myself...it came in thru a good friend of sj's...not sure if that's good or bad? hah. and the band is getting nothing btw...all $$$ is going directly to charity...

[Yusuf]

[elle]

all $$$ is going directly to charity...
that's actually quite cool.... I may re-consider this purchase... as Yusuf has already asked, what charity?

[3eb3334]

If its charity I will def. buy? Does anyone know which charity?

[semaj]

hasnt been decided...and guess who hasnt made the decision yet? im not a mind reader, but my guess is that it'll be either something like "work-to-ride" or a "breast cancer foundation."

[jnellybelly]

That is AWesome!! I am now extremely happy I already purchased this book :p I am always open for giving to Charity :yes:

[tonyrox]

This announcement says the book is compiled from both nights, while the ad on this website just says "The 3/13 show". James, can you shed some light on whether or not the book will consist of pics from both nights?

[beth]

i pre-ordered the book yesterday lol. i went to the show on the 13th and got like 100 pics, 10 videos, and met the band, but still man... professional pictures of one of the best nights of my life that i can keep forever? that's freaking awesome.

Oh I know....I got tons of pictures too, both digital and 35mm. But a professional book with pics, now that's what I like. ALso, I want to have anything that reminds me of that night....it too, was the best night of my life :)

Does anyone else wonder how this can be published march 9th and contain pictures form march 13th and 14th??????????????

Also the cover says 12th and 13th, im worried about the quality of this product.

Details, details. ;)

That cover is heinous if that is indeed the cover.

I would really hope the cover doesn't say ORDER NOW! ;)


EDIT: I think I'm beginning to understand that tonyrox dude. Two winkies is a bit much - it's like we're communicating in winkies!

[Today_I_Found_My_Soul]

if only i read
*sighs*

[sst2]

It'll probably be a picture book, so it just might be okay.

[PUTthePASTaway]

I think I can answer that question for you. Everything related to 3eb must have a publish/release date incorrectly announced at some point. So they figured why not just pick a date that was actually before the two dates of the shows. The sad thing is that people still got excited when they saw March 9.

[wearestars]

Well, I have pu my name down for the book, hopefully with the correct dates, and I am looking forward to getting it, even if it cost me $97 with postage!

The money had better go to flipping charity :)

BTW, to save me putting up a new thread, IT WAS GREAT TO MEET YOU ALL (if you were there) AT THE MARCH 13th GIG!

3EB do truly.....ROCK

[Petria]

Just checked the status of my book order, and it says "printing" so I'm thinking that it may truly be pictures of the shows @ the Filmore...does anyone else's say this?

[outofthevein03]

[3ebMadrigal]

It was great to meet you too wearestars! We had great fun together!
"Look everyone! A sleeping bird!"



Books, prints.. pretty soon they will be selling bags of the confetti off the floor! And I could probably be talked into buying that as well... I'm ordering my book this evening! And my guess would be that they change the cover before they print.

[3SeJbfan]

Well once somebody has a copy of it, and says its legit, I'll get it. :)

[Jason]

Well once somebody has a copy of it, and says its legit, I'll get it. :)

I'm in the same boat as you... Imma going to wait til someone actually gets it first and see how it is?

[Dharma Bum]

I'm such a cheap-ass. I totally have the money for this but I'm still balking at it..

Birthday is soon.. think I'll send the fam some linkage to this..

I'll be checking back to this thread to see what the first person who obtains it thinks.

[mfbzoester]

If only I had enough money for it.

[kenneth r.]

money...... nooooo. I'll probably get it and starve for a few days.

[Norris3eb]

Will someone give me enough rep points to get back to zero?

I just want to play the games in the arcade, and it won't let me because I am negative.
(I really don't want to have create another username).

Thanks guys, you're the best.

Hmmm, I still remember you being an incredible tool (http://www.3eb.co.uk/showthread.php?t=5456)a while back, so it's hard for me to contribute.

And now you put this is the wrong forum as well. If I could give you more negative rep i would

[tonyrox]

All right, so I did some more research. I really was looking for a post to prove you're not as much of a tool as you were in that thread. And I found this:


Does anyone else think Tony is just a washed up stoner who plays nothing but shred licks?

Bring Kevin back.

This negative rep is for Blinded, and Company, and Campfire, and Persephone, and Carnival Barker, and so many others you bastard. I hope you never taste the sweet joy of eating a ghost at the last second in Pacman or getting a high score in Asteroids.

[Norris3eb]

Wow. The Third Eye Blind online fan community is a bunch of assholes. To think that people who don't know who Third Eye Blind are come here as a reference point for research - a point highly debatable, but possible nonetheless. What are they going to think of the hostility and the idiocy of 90% of the constituancy?

To back up my claim, I referred someone here the other day who said she'd never heard of Third Eye Blind. That's okay. Third Eye Blind isn't Led Zeppelin, or Pink Floyd, or hell..The Carpenters. And if you want to tell me the Carpenters weren't huge, remember they played the White House. Twice.

So, for the time being, until my rep level returns to 0, you guys are the INCREDIBLE TOOLS.

Intense allegations from someone who has displayed as much assholiness as anyone else here. Your rep was negative for a reason. And as far as me being a tool until your rep returns to 0... I'll try my best to sleep tonight.

[ordinaryday6]

fuck. i gave him positive rep when i meant to give him negative (obviously). shit.

well at least he's still in the negative.

EDIT: Agh fuck I accidentally gave her positive rep. ;)

[ordinaryday6]

haha i deserve it. :( i'm sorry. i let you all down. lol

[elle]

Alright people... no more talk about this positive/negative rep stuff. You all have made your point. Norris3eb, please ask for this sort of thing in a new thread... I give you permission in the chit chat forum... will it work? I dunno. But if any of you just go there to just attack the guy... then I will give you negative rep. Yeesh.

The end.

[Petria]

Any know any news on the book yet? Mine still says printing - I've tried to contact them to ask about possible release dates - got nada back.

No, my book still says printing as well....I am sure it takes a little while to get it all done, edit it, and then print how many copies? It is going to take a little while is what I am thinking. I am not expecting it for at least another month or two. So I am anxiously anticipating it :D

Well, they do say
** IMPORTANT NOTE!!! We are accepting PRE-ORDERS for this book, which will be produced following the band's upcoming shows. The book will be created and shipped by the end of March. If you place an order today, your credit card will be authorized but not charged. Your credit card will be charged automatically once the book is printed and shipped***

It's as "end of March" as you can get now, so I would really hope it's already shipped or will be on Monday.

[outofthevein03]

My credit card already got charged, so this book better be on its way!

[sst2]

I find it slightly disturbing that the dates on the cover of the book they have on the site is wrong. Hope they fix that before they send it out. I'm thinking I should have waited before forking over $70... :sigh:

[Michelle]

I remember the last time I dealt with a book that was a suggestion through a member of 3eb, it turned out to be a big sham...or at least the author was...something like JT Leroy:lol:
the book sounds like a great idea but for that kind of cash it better be hella awesome.

JT Leroy made a book about 3eb?

...and it's still "printing"

It's a painful process. I hate waiting. I didn't before, but now I most certainly do, as you can see by my obsessive posting in this thread.

Well at least we can obsessively post together. I did email blurb about what's going on - with the card getting charge and all of that. And asking for an update.

It's sad, but I didn't get to go to SF, so this is my little piece of the shows I guess.

I'm obsessively posting after you, so that when you get information (or want to obsessively post again) you won't feel odd making a double post. I'm great that way. :D

This Blurb thing is an interesting idea, though. All those people who say they want to write a book as some sort of life goal, and all they have to do is go to this website. Not officially published, but at least it's bound. You could just make it for yourself, and have a professional-looking scrapbook, then rip off your family members. We could make a TVCY Blurb book, sell it to outsiders, and give the money to Adam to run the site. I'm just taking up space now.

I'll take up space with you. Wouldn't that be hillarious? "The Secrets of Third Eye Blind...the lyrics to In The Background, The Freshmen and More!!" Sell it and then fund the site. Imagine what we could do ... rule the world! :lol:

Anyway. I'm wondering about this book. We've seen a lot of great pictures posted up here, I don't think they're Albanese's photos...so I wonder who took them, and if they're any good. I'd assume that they are. I just wonder who it is that set this up and is trying to get us to buy their book. Has anyone heard anything on this at all? Probably not, or they would have said something here. Here's to hoping at least.

Whoa, have you seen pictures that will be in the books, or are you referencing TVCwires' pictures that they've posted? Yeah, I wonder who set it up, too, especially since it has the band's approval. I'm guessing it's someone closely associated with 3eb then, enough that they'd be allowed in for shots, etc. Hope we get it before the end of the month.

I haven't seen the pictures, so no no don't think that. I'm just talking about what we've seen posted here at TVCY. People took some quality stuff, and I was impressed by the majority of it. Here's hoping for the end of the month. Or at least an update.

Well, I am not worrying, if it is a sham, and the person is trying to take our money, then just call Visa or yoiur credit card company, they will reimburse you the money and then go after whoever took it. So I am not worrying, but I still hope that I get my book sometime soon. I would love to have this memory you know :)

[sst2]

Though it's still listed as "Printing", we have an actual cover! It's a big picture of Tony! Looks like it's only the March 13 show, didn't realize that until now. I'm still happy. :)

hell yeah! Looks good too, so far anyway! Hopefully it'll start shipping soon and we'll have it. Looks great though. :thup:

[outofthevein03]

I decided to check the status of the book I ordered and it now says "processing." They're making progress! Also, they show the first fifteen pages of the book.

It looks good too! Set list in there, lots of crowd shots, backstage shots it looks like, too. I'm thinking it'll be worth the expense

[sst2]

And... we have a preview! It's below the cover on main page. My book says it's "processing".

I don't mean to be negative, but the Wikipedia cut and paste is a little cheesy. For the $70+ I'm paying, I'd like some original words. I wouldn't be completely opposed to captions, either.

But... they did say the pictures would look better in the actual book, so it's good! Means we'll probably get it by the end of the month!

Fuck, I can't stop spending money on this fucking band. I'm in two of those pictures in the previews. What a great keepsake... fuckity fuck fuck. Hmmm.... I'll wait to hear your review of the books b/f I totally put $$ in.

The cover and layout blow chunks... which makes me cringe to know I could spend $60 on something that is so poorly designed. But oh well.... I might get over it.

haha i think i see you in the pictures. black tank top with a red band in your hair?

the layout DEFINATELY sucks sucks sucks. it's absolutely poorly designed.

the cover, on the other hand, i kinda dig. granted, it doesn't have the whole band, but it does have tony playing guitar and the famous "thirdeyeblind" lights in the background. the title portion sucks...i wonder if that's the font they'll end up using...

meh. had i gone to the concert, i would without a doubt buy this. however, not having gone, it would bea gigantic waste of money to see pictures of people i don't even know in poorly designed square-spaces layout.

[Jamie]

I'm in picture 14 :) I'm thinking of buying this because I'm probably in so many of the pictures. Cool preview :thup:

I know! I got so excited to get into the second Fillmore show while they were playing 1000 Julys (I didn't have tickets) that I bought all the 3eb merchandise, from the hoodie right down to the keychain/bottle opener. Then Stephen's print, then this stupid book (that doesn't have my picture in the preview, I hate being short... I was waiting there the whole goddamn day!).

Oh, and you should buy it, because Joe looks adorable in that picture with Tony.

[Jason]

Well from the preview I'm already in a few pictures. I'll wait to see what others say before I buy it though. It's looking more and more LIke i'll buy it though.

I know I left my life around here somewhere...

[Jamie]

Holy crap you bought a lot. Looks like you need a towel to complete that collection. Wonder where you could find one...:uhoh:

[ordinaryday6]

lol

thanks for the pictures. :) i have the 2 skull tshirts, and a hat.

[bluewintermoon]

Hey, those little red panties look familiar....... are those the bathing suit bottoms me and Stacy bought at the Salvation Army? :lol:


And fuck, the pages of the book are black. That spells BIG TROUBLE for fingerprints. :( And I will also be purchasing this book based on the previews because I appear to be in it, hehe.

[sst2]

Yeah, I told you, I went nuts. The sad part is I bought each item in a seperate transaction.

Probably! I must have seen you, then, I was the girl who half jumped the divider thing and picked them up, and then my friends were like OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE TOUCHING THAT!!!! And told me to hold it by one end or drop it... so I tried explaining that it was those little red panties slide up around the belly face down on the mattress one... but they didn't know what I was talking about until someone (I assume you or your friend) said that they'd picked them up from a dollar store so they were not used, and that I could keep them. They gave me a really hard time about that. It's not like I wear them, geez.

[elle]

haha i think i see you in the pictures. black tank top with a red band in your hair?

What, are you stalking me????!!!!

;)

I now understand why the layout is so shitty, to get your books printed with Blurb, you have to use their layout software and it's kinda primitive/for design laymens who probably don't know Quark or InDesign. I've had fun playing around with it though, might throw a book together and get it printed just for fun. It's pretty cool stuff for people who like to make books (i.e. me).

[Adam]

It's pretty cool stuff for people who like to make books (i.e. me).See: geeks

;) :heart:

[Mitch]

What, are you stalking me????!!!!

;)


:uhoh:

my girlfriend tells me that i always say people look like other people when they don't...so i'm always proud of myself when i recognize someone.

...

in all seriousness, stalking involves lots of time, effort, and money, none of which i have. especially with you being on a different coast, and all.

did i actually just explain reasons why i'm not stalking someone? i should go to bed.

[Star Crossed Pimp]

did i actually just explain reasons why i'm not stalking someone? i should go to bed.

:lol: HaHaHa :lol:

That is really funny. As if, "If I had a lot of money and time, and you lived near me, I would stalk you."

:lol: LOL :lol:

[wearestars]

hey guys, I know the book looks pretty weak in the layout dept. but I am in 5 of the photos in the preview alone....yay! So I am stoked to be getting a copy :)

Oh, and elle is hot....she must habe several stalkers already mitch, so join the queue. haha :p

[Mitch]

Oh, and elle is hot....she must habe several stalkers already mitch, so join the queue. haha :p

yeah, thats not creepy.

...

;)

[jnellybelly]

I am excited to see that the book is almost done....I saw only my arm in one of the pictures...I better be in there dang it :mad: They took tons of pictures where I was so hopefully :) But I like it so far.

[sst2]

You can recognize your arm?

[Petria]

I dont know about everyone else, but my order has been shipped! :thup:

[Jamie]

You can recognize your arm?

Now that's skill.

[mfbzoester]

Anyone willing to when they get their book to either scan or take photos of the pages in the book? I have no money, I'm trying to save it for their fourth album. I do already have the photos they put on blurb.com though. Just write me back.:angel:

[DangerDanger]

I have no money, I'm trying to save it for their fourth album.

classic. about a quarter a week should do the trick...just be the couch nazi wherever you go.

a dime a week might do it too. but i hope not.

[jnellybelly]

You can recognize your arm?

yeah, i had a unique color of a shirt on and it was long sleeved :)

[Mitch]

isn't that pretty much illegal?

[jnellybelly]

I dont know about everyone else, but my order has been shipped! :thup:

awww, mine still says processing... :( Hopefully soon though

[elle]

Oh, and elle is hot....she must habe several stalkers already mitch, so join the queue. haha :p
That's quite flattering of you to say Matt, thank you. :)

Maybe someone can just do a write up describing each page. ;)

[mfbzoester]

No, that's ok. Yeah, I guess it would be kinda illegal. I just had my brithday in march and shall me getting money, but not enough, so I'm gonna try and sell some stuff on ebay. I just can't figure out what to buy, two shirts they have on thier website or the book. I think I'll get the book, what do you guys think?

[Mitch]

if you were at the concert, then i'd go for the book. great memories for you in there, probably.

if you didn't go to the concert, the book will probably be pretty lame because it looks like tons of crowd shots in a shitty layout.

[mfbzoester]

I didn't go to the concert but I saw the photos they have on the website and it looked pretty cool. I'll probably get it if it has photos of Third Eye Blind in it more than the audience. Well, if not too many people buy it, it's more likely that they will lower the price. WHy do they have it for so much money? Aren't they rich enough? Hope they have lots of pictures of Tony in it, I have a little crush on him right now, lol.

[jnellybelly]

YEA!!! My book is finally shipping!!! I will let you all know what it looks like when I receive it in a few days! I am so excited to get this now...it just brings back all the good memories I had on that night. :D

[mfbzoester]

Is there a cost for shipping on the book? Is it worth it to get it with the hardcover?

[jnellybelly]

Is there a cost for shipping on the book? Is it worth it to get it with the hardcover?

Well, I got a soft cover, just because I tend to bend books when I am looking a them, and I didn't want to ruin the hardcover....plus it really doesn't matter to me :) But yes, there is shipping. The soft cover cost me a total of $69.59, with shipping. Hope that helps :)

[tegliak]

Is there a cost for shipping on the book? Is it worth it to get it with the hardcover?

For me, if you're going to spend that much money on something you may as well cough up the extra $10 for the hardcover

[jnellybelly]

For me, if you're going to spend that much money on something you may as well cough up the extra $10 for the hardcover

I understand that but i think it is all about personal choice with what kind of cover it has. Myself, I would much rather have a soft cover. So it is just a added bonus that soft covers are always cheaper :) But I see what you are saying.

[PUTthePASTaway]

I understand that but i think it is all about personal choice with what kind of cover it has. Myself, I would much rather have a soft cover. So it is just a added bonus that soft covers are always cheaper :) But I see what you are saying.

If you like the soft covers better, why'd you even ask if it was worth it to get the hardcover? Honest question...not trying to be a dick.

[jnellybelly]

UMMM, I am not the one who asked about the hardcover. I was just helping out the person who wanted to know if the hard cover was worth the extra money....look above, it is up there :)

[PUTthePASTaway]

UMMM, I am not the one who asked about the hardcover. I was just helping out the person who wanted to know if the hard cover was worth the extra money....look above, it is up there :)

And I am a moron. My bad.

[mfbzoester]

Well see, I don't have enough money for the hard cover because I'm saving 10 bucks for when their fourth album comes out. But I'm gonna sell something on ebay, so maybe I can get the hardcover. I'm just wondering if I should even get the book, because it might have mostly shots of the audience, not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just, I'd rather have pics of 3eb, lol. If I get the book, I'll probably get the soft cover since it's nine and a half dollars for shipping. Just tell me how it looks when you get the book so I know if it's worth buying even though I'll probably get it anyway.

[tegliak]

Though it's still listed as "Printing", we have an actual cover! It's a big picture of Tony! Looks like it's only the March 13 show, didn't realize that until now. I'm still happy. :)

I thought it would be both nights too--I think the website said it was--I hope there are some shots from the 14th in there because I was right in front--but we got there pretty late the first night so we are a couple rows back----don't see myself in any of the shots so far :no: Not that it really matters I guess--it would just be cool to be in there.

[tegliak]

The UPS website says it was delivered to my house today--I can't believe I have to work till 7:00

[mfbzoester]

Lucky!! How does it look? Is it worth getting? Please say it is, cause I really want it!! I didn't go to the show, 1 because I couldn't afford it and 2, I think I'm too young to go, being 13 plus all the people smokeing pot and 3, we have eight Great Pyr dogs that can't be left alone.

[tegliak]

I can see a sliver of my top hat in one picture and the whole hat and maybe my shoulder in another---that's what happens when you're short and standing behind a giant! It's cool I guess--maybe not worth $70---I'll be glad I have it later on I'm sure :yes:

....Still mad there aren't any shots from the 14th though

[jnellybelly]

everywhere that I have read, has said that it is only from the 13th...but who knows. Hope you get in there :)

[elle]

Yeah the website said both nights, but the book cover only says the 13th. So I'm gonna assume the pics are only from the 13th.

[Matt]

There were no photographers other than Stephen Albeaneese on the 14th. There were however 10000000 the 13th.

I would imagine the book talks about both nights but only has shots from the first.

[tegliak]

Yeah--I guess I just didn't look too closely at the website when I ordered it--it does say the show is 13th & 14th but the photos are only 13th :uhoh:

[mfbzoester]

Well, I though you said you got it yesterday?

[jnellybelly]

The book is pretty cool. It is all pictures. The first 15 pages don't represent what is actually in the book. Most of it is pictures of the band, and there are some really good pictures in it. Some of Tony rockin' out, and some with his son in it as well. Those are great. Seems like they didn't put many pictures of Brad in it, which I found odd. Most of the pics, are of Stephan and Tony, more of Stephan. Overall, it is a cool book. Not sure if it was worth the $70 I paid for it, but the pictures are great and I got to see myself in it...which I found great. All in all, no regrets purchasing it...it is great memorabilia :) So if $70 isn't that bad to spend on memories for yourself, you should get it!!

[Yusuf]

Can anyone tell me if I'm in the book? I know that may seem like a self-righteous question to ask, but I don't really want to buy it unless I can see myself in it. :p

[elle]

Yusuf, if you look at the .pdf preview on the site you will see you are in the book.

Though it seems from jnellybelly's review those preview pages have fan pictures, but the rest of the book is of the band. I'm still up in the air about if I want to buy this... I might just download the preview .pdf and call it a day. ;)

[jnellybelly]

Yeah, there are a few more pics with the audience...a really nice black and white one also, but most of the rest of the fan pictures are from far away, like during the confetti and stuff, and you can't really see faces too clearly. It is still pretty cool though!! :)

[Petria]

I just got mine, too. it's much smaller than I originally thought, I thought it would be great coffee table material, but i don't think so anymore. She was right, only the first 15 pages are of the fans, except for maybe another 1-2 inside the book. It's ok. I'm glad I spent the money since the money is going to charity, but I don't know if I'd pick it up if I had seen it first and the money wasn't going to charity. It does have some great shots, I'll give it that.

Is anyone else disappointed about the paper quality? I don't know what the paper type is, but I'd almost prefer glossy pages that are more clear...

[jnellybelly]

Is anyone else disappointed about the paper quality? I don't know what the paper type is, but I'd almost prefer glossy pages that are more clear...

Yeah, i would have preferred better paper quality. And sometimes I like the "little bit out of focus" shots, but it seems like there are a lot of those in this. I agree, I would not be as happy about it if it was not going to charity. That makes me feel good :yes:

How random, as I write this, Semi-Charmed Life comes on the radio...randomness

Exactly, the out of focus bugs me as well. Also, whoever did this does 4-8 pictures on some pages, all of Stephan. I like the idea, but I'm not sure that it works in this format. I'm still bummed out about the size. It reminds me of a workbook from when I was in biology class or something.

[Dharma Bum]

Shitty!

This feedback doesn't motivate me to buy this book..

I know when I invest in something, even if it's subpar, I have a tendency to talk it up at first.. This doesn't sound so great from what you guys are saying.. Glad I spent my $70 on some outstanding crowd shots prints (and one phat confetti shot) from Mona's site which my friend and I were in.

[mfbzoester]

Well, I think it's what I'm gonna ask my parents to get me for my Birthday which I will be paying 20 bucks for since they will only spend $50 on my brothers and I. I think it will be worth it, I'm glad that the money is going to charity, it makes it seem more worth while.

[sst2]

My exact thoughts were "Shitty" before I even read DharmaBum's post. Like Petria, I somehow expected it to be larger, or at least have more pictures. It seems like AsparaEvents put every single picture he/she took into this thing to take up space, because several pages are basically the same picture over and over. As far as quality goes, it’s no Stephen Albanese production, but it’s not hideous, either. It’s just not what I was expecting for $73.58.

Other thoughts: Though it’s probably not worth bringing up, it feels really bizarre to see Leo in the full band personal pictures. It couldn’t be helped, and I have nothing against anyone, but it really, really feels like something’s missing, and maybe that’s one of the reasons the book feels largely incomplete for me. As jnellybelly said, there aren’t many pictures of Brad. As a comparison, there are 35 pictures that include Brad or his drums, while 51 pictures include Leo or his bass. I don’t mean to be ragging on this issue, but when Tony’s on the cover and Stephan’s on the left sleeve, shouldn’t Brad - rather than a temporary member - be on the right sleeve, since he’s a band member? Anyway, the author either didn’t have much knowledge of the band’s lineup, or was a little tactless.

If I was in the pictures (which I wasn’t), I would still buy the book despite its poor quality; however, if not, I’d go with the pictures that we ourselves have posted. I’m considering this purchase a charitable donation (contributed almost entirely in self-interest), and I do hope the money is really going to charity, because there aren’t any statements on the Blurb site, 3eb’s site, or inside the book indicating that would be the case.

If nothing else, at least it’s nice to have a physical copy of some pictures, and the ones with Joe are unique and well done. I don’t know of any other 3eb books, per se, so it’s cool to have this, and say - oh look I was there! or show your family and friends, okay, this is where they’re playing “Ode To Maybe” and this is the really awesome chandelier I was telling you about! instead of pulling out the computer and saying, I know I saw it somewhere on TVCY. So... the end to my long review is - I’m disappointed but am trying in vain to be positive about the book, and I want the DVD to come out now.

:)

[bluewintermoon]

Fuck that book, let's all send money to Albanese and he can staple a bunch of his awesome pictures together and send them out to us. :)

[Petria]

That was the first thing I noticed (Leo on the sleeve)--It just didn't feel quite right

[mfbzoester]

:( For what everyone has been saying, I probably shouldn't get the book, espeicially since I only wanted it for the photos of Tony. How many photos are there of him in it? But anyway, I think they should have at least put some old photos of Arion in it, just because he's not playing with them right now, it doesn't mean he's not part of the band. What do you guys think? Can you return the book if you don't like it?

[3ebnut]

I received my book today. It's fair at best. If someone wants a momento - I would recommend the SA print.

[Petria]

I don't think it's return-able. I do miss Arion greately, but the book was touted as pictures of the Fillmore show. He wasn't there, so I guess I can see the logic of him not being in the book. One shot would have been nice, maybe something about how he's sorely missed or something. But no, there's not anything.

[tonyrox]

But anyway, I think they should have at least put some old photos of Arion in it, just because he's not playing with them right now, it doesn't mean he's not part of the band.

The book is called "Third Eye Blind: Live at the Fillmore 3/13 - 3/14" and accordingly contains pictures of Third Eye Blind live at the Fillmore 3/13 - 3/14 (maybe not the 14th but that's irrelevant).

If Arion wasn't playing with Third Eye Blind live at the Fillmore 3/13 - 3/14, then I don't see any injustice in him not being in the book. The book's not implying he's "not part of the band", just that he wasn't playing with Third Eye Blind live at the Fillmore 3/13-3/14.

[mfbzoester]

Well, do you guys think I should get it? I think I will, I mean, I can just sell it on ebay for like $45 if I don't like it.

[Haggardbully]

Just recieved mine the other day. For those of you who are a little unsure of getting it, I dont know what to tell you exactly. It appears that all the pics are from the 13th, so unless you were there like i was, it's probably more of a personal thing. but as for me, even if i wasnt there i have this need to have these things anyway. i would have bought it even if i wasnt there because it is the only book that is offered, and has been offered since the small book i have from the bonfire tour. other than it just being strictly memories, it is definately a collector's item, rare pics of a special event. and professionally done also.
plus its the only thing we actually have that is up to date, hard copy wise.

I have a choice, either keep my 20 bucks and get $50 from my parents for my birthday and save it to buy and Les Paul kit or get the book. What do you think I should do? Because I just got my first guitar in Feb. and I'm still learning. I don't know, I can always just use my money from next year for the guitar, but I still would like to know what you think.

[outofthevein03]

I finally got my book too! Granted some of the pictures are pretty cool, I'm a bit disappointed in it. Was it worth $70, probably not, but I'm a sucker and it will remind me of the fantastic time I had at the shows.

[mfbzoester]

Well, I ordered mine in the two day shipping. Hopefully it will actually come in that amount of time, lol.

i dunno why you left it up to me to make your decission, but um, alright... if it's worth thinking about and putting up against a guitar, why not get the guitar then? its your money not mine
why ask my opinion if you ordered it anyway??

[mfbzoester]

I just got my first guitar like three or four months ago. If I save the Christmas money I get and save my birthday money next year, I can get the guitar kit then. I'm not even sure if I'm gonna end up sticking with playing guitar. But it's too late now.

[bluewintermoon]

I saw the book and it is really cool. I'm definitely going to shell out the $70 some odd dollars to have it. It's a really nice keepsake.

[mfbzoester]

I got the book today, I did get to look at it because my mom has to wrap it. I'll probably get to see it tomorrow, but as it looks from the package, it's not worth $70 unless there are some really nice photos in it.

[Matt]

I saw the book and it is really cool. I'm definitely going to shell out the $70 some odd dollars to have it. It's a really nice keepsake.

Kristen, I thought you were maybe just being sarcastic since everone has said it looks like crap, but i got it yesterday, and it was a lot better than i was thinking it would be after reading everyone's responses about it. The thing is ACE! Sure, theres no reading, and sure it's not worth even close to $70, but it's damn cool.

[bluewintermoon]

lol Matt! No, I was actually breaking character and being sincere for once! I still think the layout of the book was kinda crap (that one page where the two photos aren't cropped to the same height - ARGH!) but lemme tell you, it really looks nice once you get the band to sign it in silver sharpie.

[mfbzoester]

I just opened mine today. The photos are pretty cool, the book with shipping and everything is probably only worth about $50 at the most. But if your not poor, unlike me, then you might as well get it. But yeah, it's pretty nice.
