Thanks Patrick.  If I were a GPK fan (which I'm not), I'd also go for the two posted today, as they are very timely and fitting!

Because the only cards offered today are Wackys - you can order all 3 (as singles) under the bundle option for $24.99 as opposed to the $29.97 which I spent (I have sent an email to customer service to hopefully get the difference credited)
And today, with the 5 WP cards, it costs the same to buy them individually as it does to buy the bundle, except with the bundle you'll get 3 gpk's for free.
To bundle or not to bundle, that is the question.

The SECRETS is bittersweet for me. Journey is my all-time favorite band. I was hoping for one last song together between Steve and the boys. What a heart breaker. If there ever was a time for it to happen, it was the HOF. Now I know that it will never, ever happen. Kinda sad  :sad:

I agree that it would be lovely to see him belt out those songs that so many of us (myself included) love.  I saw them on their Raised on Radio tour back in 1986 I think, and it remains one of the best shows I've ever seen. 

I suspect if Steve Perry could, like another kind of musician, pick up a brand new or newly-tuned and oiled instrument and sing with THAT, he might be more inclined to sing a few songs or even reunite with the band.  But his vocal instrument is 68 years old and he may not want to perform if he cannot do it the way he feels it should be done.  Anymore so than a musician would be willing to go out and perform with a guitar that hasn't been properly tuned or is simply broken.  And what Steve Perry did with his voice in his prime was a miracle -- imagining a 68-year-old voice attempting those same songs might be far more sad than what actually happened with him not performing.  He may be wise enough to realize that. 

But boy, what a voice that guy had.  Thankfully, we can always cue it up, just as it was.     :-[

That said, and this is quite a divergent move from Journey and not at all Rock and Roll, but last year Angela Lansbury performed a song from Beauty and the Beast for an Alan Menken retrospective.  Her vocal instrument isn't what it used to be - she's 92-years-old after all, there's no getting around it - and yet she is a talented enough to adapt her approach and what her current voice can do to the song and find the an approach that is not at all like it might have once been yet still manages to convey it beautifully.  She's that good an actress and singer, I think, and it allows her to make those kinds of choices.    I don't know that the songs of Journey and Steve Perry's soaring vocals on them would allow for such adaptation (but I'd be willing to listen if they gave it a try!)

Journey is my all-time favorite band.

Evokes memories of a thousand summer nights when the world was our oyster and the weight of responsibility wasn't quite nearly as heavy.

Thank Donald Dump Ad - Im

the Im is based off of a TV ad, which seems like quite a stretch.

Turfs is mine.  I thought since the forum liked the toy, you might want to catch the movie.  It's kinda cool that the Turfs are now officially Wacky!

for some reason the image links I had above worked fine when I viewed on my desktop, but showed up empty when I looked on my smartphone.

NICE!!!!

Also digging Turfs.  :-)

Jason, thanks!  I have to say PoD is a new world for artists and it's really cool.  On WP 50th I sent in my painting last October and didn't see the card for 5 months.  With PoD I sent it Sunday night and it's up Tuesday morning!  I guess that's part of the instant gratification of the digital age.

No, Quas.  Hold off on making a separate purchase for this card.  If I'm not mistaken, this is labeled "Wacky Packages" and should be part of the club.  Besides, the club has purchased "Network Spews" titles before.  I'm sure Patrick will be on the forum shortly making a post on the Bulk Buyers thread about today's purchases.  Wait and see what he says.

it's "IN"
basically what BB said. It's a Wacky Package title in the Network Spews category. We had a lull in those for awhile, but quite a few in the last week or so
