I'm just seeing this, but I'll definitely commit to a purchase. Was always sad there was no official release from this tour since I only got to see them in Pomona.

I'm in for a few copies!!!
School ramped up in the fall here, so my time is limited. But I am in the process of doing a trail batch to see the quality.
Well... Embarrassing, I never got around to doing that trial batch.
School is coming to an end. I've always wanted to see this project through and I *hopefully* will have some free time once I finish school at the end of the year. I want to gauge the interest in the release almost 5 years on. I have added a bluray request form on this page of the archive if you'd be interested in getting a copy. (LINK BELOW). I already have a good idea of what I would like and how I want to go about doing this and how the packaging will look. I honestly will only run a press of how many are interested. So I would suggest putting your email address in the request form.

COVID has kinda put a damper on a lot of my plans for 2020 (as for everyone). I still plan on doing this but I haven't started my job yet and graduating pretty soon (finally). Once I have a steady income, I'll be doing a test run. I haven't forgot. This year has just blown.
@ninlive count me in on a physical copy
yes, I have been waiting
I signed up as interested.
I signed up with two diffrent emails addresses because I was reading inbetween the lines because I would want two copies.
Signed up! would love one! had a blast at this show, and always a sucker for physical copies!
Signed up! I'd love a physical copy.
Signed.
Yeah it has. Still interested in a physical copy myself.
Just lining up... am I at the front of the virtual line?
its been a long time... I wonder if it would be worth updating the audio mix... I dont know if I still have the files tho...
I think I signed up previously, but not sure. The form expired. I'm certainly down for one whenever they come into existence.
I still would like to have a nice physical copy of this...
Count me in!
We passed the 10yr anniversary, what is it going to take to get this one released? Do we need a Kickstarter?
I'm very tempted to help out with this project. Used to do a lot of blu-ray authoring and printing back in my haydays of videography. Will need to relearn some aspects but I was pretty good at it. I just don't have the equipment I used to have.
If @ninlive is okay with it, I would love to handle this project. Just need a few weeks to:
- Find a decent CD printer (my old teammate may have this)
- Find a decent Blu-ray burner (my old teammate may have this)
- Find time to work on this
I will provide realistic cost and project breakdown and breakeven point, but if I can get 30 - 50 people interested in this, I think I can breakeven easy.

Update: I have contacted @ninlive to assist / lead on this project in any shape or form (pending response). Long story short: this will cost $9.09 per person + shipping.
Detailed message: following up on my promise of realistic cost and project breakdown and breakeven point... If I do everything from scratch:
Disc Printing Printer: - $148
DVD / Blu-ray Burner - $111
DVD / Blu-ray Authoring Software - $122
Elite Blu-ray/DVD Case - $37 for 50pc
Printable BD-R/DVD-R - $37 for 50pc
Total comes to $455. (Note: This cost goes down if I end up finding my old gear and in good condition, however I would still need to buy software as Adobe Encore, which I use for blu-ray Authoring, is no longer supported by new OS).
This will cost me $9.09 (lol) per person if 50 people are interested. Any less, and the cost goes up. Shipping not included (Roughly $15-$20 per person). Any time I invest in this project will be free; Pro Bono. Likely will take me 5 - 10 business days to start / finish this project. Aim is to make it as professional and brand-centric as possible.
So... @ninlive, I send you an email. Let me know if you need help rolling the ball. I am motivated to get my hands on a physical copy of your amazing work
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but why not go with a professional duplicator, as opposed to the DIY at-home aesthetic? Just at a quick search, you could do 50 copies, screen printed discs in shrink-wrapped cases with full color wrap for $5 each:

They can handle fulfillment also. All you have to do is provide the assets and the orders.
I'm interested, but I agree, it should be something on par with what the TOIOU project did with AVOTT, meaning something that looks like you could buy it in a store.
100% will look like store bought with awesome artwork, great menu, and more.
I got an answer from quickturnduplication, and they are down to do it (thank you @TheBang !). I requested an estimated quote from them for e.g. 25 Blu-ray and 25 DVDs, should get an answer shortly.
Another potential good news, my sister did not update her OSX in her laptop, meaning my copy of Adobe Encore will work on it, significantly reducing my overhead! I will drop by her place this weekend to test it out.
In the meanwhile, waiting on @ninlive to give his blessings (or collab, or even take over). Thank you all for being patient. My goal is to have this ready to go by Christmas this year.
Question: Do people prefer Blu-ray, or DVD, or both? Curious..
