I'm so glad I hadn't seen the bottom half of the painting before getting the CD in the mail. I freaked out when I saw it.
The Riff Suite tracks are so great and illustrative of why Paul is my favorite comic at the moment. For someone who disdains jazz he sure can do some awesome improvising.
I love the riffing as well. Easily my favorite album of the year. Are there any other comedy albums where someone riffs for more than 5 minutes at the top of the album? If so I want to hear it.

I have not yet received my pre-order copy from AST either. This makes me sad.
Same here. Ordered 11/19 with the calendar. What's the story?
The calendar isn't out yet. Your order is likely being delayed for the release. You can email ryan at aspecialthing dot com with specific questions about orders.
You know what I would love? A poster of the Freak Wharf cover.
Is there any way that can happen? Apart from scanning my copy of the album and putting it through the Rasterbator?
I'm in.
It was discussed briefly in the Freak Wharf thread....

"stay tuned for info on ordering prints... " - terror firma - November 2nd, 2009
edit: I realize that a poster and a print aren't the same, but maybe they'll make posters as well.
I'm one of the few college students who doesn't cover his walls with posters and shit.
But you show me a Paul F. Tompkins poster, and I'll show you a dorm room wall with a Paul F. Tompkins poster on it.
You're a man? I always thought your name was Bridget O'Solacé.
PFT talking about the Tompkins 300
...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand
He's on JJG! this week
Alright, PFT fans in the greater New York City area, let's step up and do this: Bring Paul F. Tompkins to New York City
Ah. Just started one to bring him near me. We'll see. Big college town, so hopefully...
By the way. Just listened to Freak Wharf for the first time. Fantastic.

I sound more bitter than I actually am, but it did bug me. Maybe I'm projecting, but I've noticed a few guests on JJGo now who have been audibly annoyed with the guys interrupting constantly.

I'm in.
