A Package! (22/30)

[regularguy5mb]

Huzzah!!

I love getting mail, especially from DFTBA. I have six shirts right now. Still need to get the Oceanic Six shirt.

LOVE IT!

@regularguy5mb Mail is awesome. There needs to be a revival in letter writing.

[regularguy5mb]

@shakes1327 I agree! I was actually just thinking of starting a letter writing campaign, write to everyone I know just to do it.

In the last four 4 months I have received 9 DFTBA packages from Alan. Music, t-shirts, buttons and stickers. I love DFTBA merch. :D

Sticker placement idea: on the door just above SharkEyeJones drawing.

[shakes1327]

@dripduke Yeesh, Alan must love you!

#OMG SUB for aLL VIDs

[TheBBCFangirl]

Super cool video! I love those shirts - they just arrived in my post too. The Oceanic Six one fits PERFECTLY. I think I have about 8 or 9 DFTBA t-shirts now. XD

[shakes1327]

@TheBBCFangirl Oh wow, that's a lot of shirts! Though my wardrobe is slowly heading in that direction too. :P

[reinix]

Yay! I got my Charlie McDonnell shirt in the mail today :)

[shakes1327]

@reinix Ooh lucky!

[ihearttheplanet]

haha glad im not the only one who gets really excited over opening packages which they know the contents of :)

[shakes1327]

@ihearttheplanet :D I think it's a pretty universal reaction. It's like creating your own Christmas morning!

[notanut02]

Gah! I keep watching your videos a day late! Having a life kinda does that, doesn't it?

[shakes1327]

@notanut02 Actually, having a life has kind of forced me to post most of my videos late. But shh!! I don't think anyone's noticed yet! ;)

I just bought Expert like a week ago and I *love* it. I get a lot of DFTBA music on iTunes, but when I do get a package it's always super exciting. I sort of think like "Alan sent me this. I know his name and watch his vlogs and follow him on twitter, and he packaged this up and sent it off when I ordered it." It's way better than getting a mail order from some random corporation. And on top of that, all of the music is REALLY FRAKKING GOOD.

[shakes1327]

@HeyWeemsical I'm always in awe listening to DFTBA artists. They're so great, yet I know everything was created by ordinary people just like me!

[SarblohSingh]

hahah, awesome vid. I just received a package with a shirt and some goodies from Johnny Cupcakes last week - I was pretty excited as well! I love the personal touch that comes with smaller independent businesses. = )

[shakes1327]

@SarblohSingh Aw, I just looked up Johnny Cupcakes - so cute!

[Lidespam]

:D:D awesome <3

The only thing I have from dftba records is hank's CD I think.. ;D

[shakes1327]

@Lidespam Well if you were to have only one thing from DFTBA, Hank's CD is a very worthy thing to have.

[joannejpeg]

ahhh Super cool!

I really want to get the Oceanic Six t-shirt, actually.

I think I might order it for myself for my birthday. :)

[shakes1327]

@joannejpeg It's very cute. I love that only Lost fans can actually understand it. :P

[whatisonyourmind]

lol it is funny seeing u psyched, was watching this video in a computer lab and a mate next 2 me was like :| after couple of seconds just bursted out laughing :D u r awesome :) :D

[shakes1327]

@whatisonyourmind Haha, glad I could entertain you!

[mkkreuk]

Running out of ideas for videos? LOL. Just kidding. You're like a lil kid at christmas.

[shakes1327]

@mkkreuk Yes. :P But I definitely think this moment was video worthy! I wish I still have footage of me opening my copy of So Jokes and realizing Hank Green had signed it. THAT was video worthy!

[krendoshazin]

I can completely relate with your enjoyment of a personal experience. When I buy insects and animals I prefer to get them from people on the forums or from people I know, not some large corporation that doesn't look after them properly and charges exorbitant prices. The girl that I got my tarantulas from bred them herself and loved her spider to death, and that for me makes it all the more special.

[shakes1327]

@krendoshazin Haha I don't think I could ever love a spider, but that's so sweet!

[JoCatofCatLand]

every video you make gets better and better. i am so looking forward to meeting you at VIDCON :D

[shakes1327]

@JoCatofCatLand Thanks Adrian! Can't wait!!

[Asymyth]

I could sweeten a summers worth of ice tea with this video. Your happy dance was classic. My collection of YouTube artists is growing and your right. There is something about knowing they put the address label on themselves that makes me appreciate the effort more and want to support them.

[shakes1327]

@Asymyth Aww thanks! I'm quite certain my collection of DFTBA artists is going to grow exponentially after vidcon. It makes me so happy to know exactly who I'm supporting, rather than some faceless corporation.

[jamilahrebekah]

I love The Oceanic Six :DDD

[jamilahrebekah]

Their music is GREAT.

[shakes1327]

@jamilahrebekah Agreed!
