It seems like a smaller club circuit this time. Jeremy (of The Bennies) said there haven't been any merchandise areas at the clubs they've played so far. They still managed to sell CDs out of their van, but I don't see FB&TC doing that. Besides, prior to the tour, Charles told them that they wouldn't be selling merch on this tour.
I think I only remember Frank selling merch during the first tour the catholics did together. Although I am sure I am wrong. I am usually not looking for merch until I am at home after the last show and all I can say is DAMN! I should have bought a shirt or something.
Of the three FB shows I've been to I haven't seen any shirts for sale. I did buy Oddballs at my first show, which is cool. It's always better to have music as opposed to merchandise. I would like to be able to snag a t-shirt, though. I'm probably too old for concert shirts, but it seems that I always find myself buying one. Since Frank's tickets are so reasonably priced I'd have no problem throwing down the extra dough for a shirt. --Jayhawk
