    Yep... trying to figure out how to make a second trip to the Bay Area this year work. I would love to get tickets to this.

    From the email:

    Wow... that’s all we have to say! The response from the ‘Tallica fan universe to the announcement of our show with the San Francisco Symphony blew us away, in fact, it was completely and totally overwhelming – thank you! However, we also understand that for a great number of you, it brought frustration and disappointment as the supply of tickets fell way short of demand.

    We’ve heard you and we’ve learned from our missteps with this particular ticket on sale. We’re working to make this right as we are excited to announce that a second show has been added at the Chase Center in San Francisco on Sunday, September 8th. First order of business: No public on sale this time! Tickets for the second S&M˛ show will be available exclusively to Fifth Members.

    We’re thrilled to continue the celebration of this world-class arena’s opening, to share the spotlight with the Golden State Warriors, the SF Symphony, Michael Tilson Thomas, the Chase Center and what this event represents to the city and the people of San Francisco. The second show gives us a chance to celebrate in a unique and very special way with all of you, the die-hard Fifth Members. We’re all huddled at Metallica HQ now working out a plan to give every one of you the most fair and equal chance at obtaining tickets (and to do everything possible to keep the bots from getting any). Under the full disclosure umbrella, due to contractual obligations with the Chase Center there will be a small number of tickets available to Golden State Warriors season ticket holders, but the rest of the house will be all of you and only you... just the Metallica Fan Club family. This is going to take a little time to get as close to foolproof as we can get it, so please sit tight for a few more days and we’ll be back with more details.

    Thank you for all your comments, suggestions and most of all your support and patience! Stay tuned, watch this space.


    I'm a legacy member. I just might go if I can get the tickets. I'll wear my Fillmore West St. Anger shirt.

    I was going to bid but that dented bottom right corner bothered me.
    I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

    Some of the casting will reunite this summer to celebrate the 25th anniversary. But it doesnt seem that the main 2 actors are (so far) part of that event

    I'd say so. VJ Books is charging $60 pre-ordered, $100 once it's released.

    I've been wanting to go to the Mansfield prison for several years. My cousins go there every couple of years for the ghost hunting tours. I haven't been able to coordinate a trip there with them since I used to live near Chicago, and now live in Austin.

    Today I asked to see a pristine first edition of Blood Meridian from behind the glass at a local used book store until the owner told me it was $2500. I had no idea!

    My wife took me to the 20th reunion....was VERY VERY cool. I got my King signed DF signed also by Bob Gunton (warden)...The tree (or what was left after a lightning strike) was still standing then. There was a whole tour of all the places, prison, woodshop, bank, courthouse, cabin in woods etc...They showed the movie...too much to remember. I REALLY loved it.

    This is one of those books the copyright page states First Edition but counts down to the number 2. It's been known to pick one up for a steal because the seller thought it was a second print.

    Thanks, I saw that too, nearly bought one from there, but also noticed Barnes and noble were selling them at a discounted rate.

    Waiting patiently for Pullman’s book of dust book 2 to be released by them as a signed copy too.

    This is not a bad price for a Fine/Fine copy of this one! Especially if it doesn't have a remainder mark on the text block...

    Yes, the bookstore owner mentioned that many/most of these have a remainder mark, but this one does not. I'd be tempted, but other than Suntup's edition of the Road (pre-ordered!), I haven't started collecting McCarthy. I think eventually I'll go after the King Double Day editions first, but now I have a sense for what collecting McCarthy would take... It's good to know about the number line too. I would have thought second printing for sure..

    It's Random House. I don't know if they still do it - but their first editions/printings used to always start with 2.
