It's kinda hipster, right? I've been to the Mission store, but it was during a Mission crawl waiting for a Laurie Anderson show last year, and it blurred together with all the other hipster stores on Valencia. It looks like a lot of fashion paramilitary gear, which just does not work for me. I mean really, wtf? The whole point of paramilitary gear is that it's built tough. Make it into pansy hipster fashion and that's just dumb. Pervasive but dumb.
Nevertheless, I'd love me some Badlands gear. AMC never did merch. If you read my interview with Daniel (looking at you Greg) he brings up his disappointment with that. Badlands was designed with merch in mind - the logos, the style - I'd love a butterfly shuriken. There was some crew Badlands merch made for a fundraiser available the second time I went, and they offered it to press. It wasn't that expensive and I really regretted not getting any.
I have a few Badlands collectibles, but none matches the lingering sensation of holding the Widow two and a half times - once at the premiere in formal dress so artfully captured by Greg, once in full costume (stilettos!) in the sanctuary set caught on my iphone by the press rep, and once at dinner where she sat next to me - I didn't take a pic and I totally regret that too. It was dinner with almost the entire cast. If only I would've taken a pano pic of that table - just me, three other press, the rep and most of the cast.
Damn I'm gonna miss this show.
