  1. What no ink?????

    It's coming from TMU so I can see why this is getting so FUCKED UP!

    They really know how to FU everything The Cure has done lately!

  2. Well, you know, original artwork does take time to envision and create and...oh, wait. Nevermind. ;)

  3. V: Hahahaha....you get them V!

    CK: I was kidding about TMU. I doubt they have anything to do with this. Then again, the lameness of the calendar would lead you to believe that they do. Glad I didn't buy one.

  4. Don't worry!

    They will make up for the delay by releasing remixes of the months of January, February, March and April by Jared Leto.

  5. I am not surprised about the numerous delays.

    But, I have already been charged for this sale.

    I believe that here in the US, a customer cannot be charged until the item is shipped. Very interesting...

  6. I got my calendar today. I ordered it on December 22. I think that is pretty fast to get it from the UK over two holidays. I was disappointed with the packaging. It was shrink wrapped with a very thin piece of cardboard inside, then shipped in a plain manilla envelope, which offered almost no protection for an over-sized item. One corner arrived with a small bend. It could have been worse, and I bet some people do receive them with damage.

  7. I ordered mine as soon as it was posted online. I finally got it TODAY. Horrible packaging indeed. Mine was sort of bent. It seemed cheaply made as well. I guess I was hoping for something that didn't seem so flimsy.

  8. I finally got my two calendars yesterday and I love them (one for work and one for home). I love that the only dates that have print on them are NOT holidays but are Jason's, Robert's, Simon's, and Porl's bithdays. I LMAO when I saw that!!! Thanks to The Cure for my beautiful calendars!!!! They already made my year!!!!!

  9. Hey is this the Maggie that I met??? If so, that's awesome!

    I noticed the birthday thing which was cool.

    Was yours bent at all???

    Mine was bent and had like a bunch of crease marks. I just really felt mine was flimsy packaging for sure. I mean seriously bent as soon as I opened it.

  10. Hi MissCure (Sara... right?). Yes it's the Maggie who you met who gave you the lotion to get the Troubadour wristband from one wrist to your wrist. FUN TIMES!!!

    My calendars are perfect nothing wrong with them. Sorry to hear yours are not in good shape. I can trade you for one of mine. Will you be in O.C. anytime? I can meet you and trade. I'll use the creased one for work.

  11. Hey Maggie, yes that's me. I was about to give up until you said that if it were you, you would do anything to get it on. The name is Rae though, actually Raelene.

    Anyway, it's okay about trading. I will keep mine. Thanks though for the thought and consideration.

  15. Rae, my favorite show always use to be when The Cure played at the Hollywood Paladium back in 1985... but NOW WOW The Troubadour show... oooooohhhh NOTHING will EVER EVER TOP that for me!!!!

  16. Very much agreed Maggie. That show was unbelievable. I know some people might have felt it wasn't fair that I got in. But I did get in... For whatever reason... I got in! I know it sounds kind of weird, but I almost felt like it was fate. I mean the wristband came to me, then when I was having trouble, you came along. The way it all happened was either a case of pure luck or truley fate for me to be there that night. I like to believe that it was fate.

    The next night when I was at KROQ in the Loge. I kept telling my boyfriend over and over about the Troubadour show and how amazing it was. I don't think anything will compare.
