   What's up, guys?

   Just wanted to let you know that I tried to email Thes tonight about an hour ago (I included the problems that everyone's been having), and I just got a brief email back from him not more than 15 minutes ago.

   He said that, later, he's going to write something longer for me to pass on to you, but in the meantime, he said (well, these are my words, not his, so... DQ-Thes-OT):
   a) Brendan is officially out, and it was an abrupt exit.
   b) A lot of correspondence slipped through the cracks when he left.
   c) Most importantly, Thes wanted to send a BIG apology to all the fans for the communication breakdowns and shipping issues. He is working as hard as he can to right things.

   I'm thinking his next email will have more details about the signed-copy issues, etc. When I know, you'll know...

   One last thing I got from Thes in a supplemental e-mail: Anything that's been mailed has NOT been signed. Brendan didn't pass on the list of people who wanted a signature, and Thes tried to contact him for it, but he's not getting a response. Thes is VERY upset about it and he said that he will make it up to the fans somehow. For now, hang tight.

   Once agan Sac you have come through with some great info....cheers man.

   Look as i stated in my last post, signed stuff.....would be nice but really isn't the biggest deal at the moment. Although its nice to hear, i don't think an apology is really needed. Thes is one man (well now anyway) trying to do all this stuff and it must be v stressful. Add to that all the hassle with the HD release, the vinyl cutting and now his team crumbling i really feel for the him.

   I am sure there is loads of why's and where for's but to be honest, i've got the HD DL, i've been rocking it since release day and really the music is what matters and as we all know the music is musical dope.

   Thanks much Sac. Like MrQc said, the signed stuff isn't the biggest deal at all, it would have been cool, but really the music is enough. Makes me smile every time I hear how hard Thes is working for the P's music and our orders and such. Its tempting to ask if they are hiring. I would move to LA to help out....my town sucks anyway *drinking a Hefeweizen playing some MW3....listening to Lifestyle Marketing*

   I got a nice surprise package yesterday in the UK. Had a tough day at work (not helped by being hungover for most of it) so this made it all better.

   The Highlighter vinyl packaging is amazing, really good quality stuff. Probably the nicest release I've bought this year and I can't think of any hip hop records that have had this much care put into them (although the Beastie Boys Hot Sauce vinyl was pretty good but did they go personally have much of a hand in it? I doub it). Put the record on and it sounded great. Hadn't listened to it much over the last week in anticipation and it was like listening with fresh ears. Definitely worth the wait and all the personal effort Thes made. Hope there is an end in sight to all the hassle he's going through.

   That is some bad sh!t. Man, poor Thes...he must wonder what the f*** is going on?
   Didn't see that bomb dropping as B always came across as a nice chap, but who knows...it could be anything.

   At least we now know what the problem is...was wondering why nobody had received the signed vinyl.

   Was hoping to receive it by Christmas but not fussed now, just hope Thes gets everything sorted with PL70 and himself...he must be stressed to f***...well, as much as you can be living in LA with all that lovely sunshine (it's f***ing freezing in Nottingham!).

   Dang! First the pressing gets f¨¨ckd and then this! Hopefully Thes wont have a mental meltdown. Damn we don't get any signatures but double damn things getting so hard for the P. They will get trough tough and I will be there to support!

    Thats dope Funky, it's always ironic to have a bad work day or really bad work day, and come home to something nice enough to put a smile on your face!!
    As for probs @pl70, Tha P know that the real fans/fam will understand whatever is going on in their lives (professional and personal) and that we will remain patient for them. I'm just sorry all this weight has fallen on Thes/Dubs shoulders' right before Christmas as this time of year is tough enough with all the gifting and fam if you got em'. Happy Holidays Forum PEACE

    If any of you on the forum want your vinyl signed, I'd be happy to make that happen - we chose not to do that by default because the packaging on the vinyl looks so nice that not everyone would want a signature on it. Please email me at info@pl70.net and I'll create a special list for the forum for signed vinyl.

    Sounds like operations need to be relocated to Sacremento with a remote shipping depot in Chicago. Let's get on it.

    Don't forget an SLC location would be well staffed as well!

    Going by what I know of the homies, Thes gets SERIOUS when it comes to errors or difficulties on the production side, and too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the brownies, so i bet he lets Thes handle it...maybe throws in small amounts of input as necessary. Probably blows a lot of sensi smoke into the room to get the mood more irie and less tense. Haha. He's there, I'm sure, though...
