I was almost hoping someone didn't post this since it's already going to be hard enough to get
Rose is right. The Internet will hit a speed bump on Friday.
which one you guys want? I can try and get one for you as well.

I'd be happy with a regular. Would love any help I can get.
Variant, but it's one per person/household. So, if you planned on one for yourself, it's every man for themselves.
Man, firefox hung for the first time while trying to get Boogie Nights today. I had IE open though as a backup and somehow made it under the wire.
I swear I'm going to be found of a heart attack with the Mondo page up. I guess there could be worse things up on the screen.

"A few years ago, when a potential PTA director's series was first mentioned, I immediately had my hand up for this one. Everything about TWBB is precisely my cup of tea - the time period, the sweeping desolation of the landscape, the soundtrack, Daniel Day-Lewis, etc. I didn't immediately come to the idea of an over-sized stock certificate but the more thought that went into it the more perfect it seemed as a visual embodiment of the film. I've also wanted to go all-in on something resembling a 19th century engraved note for quite some time so this seemed like as good an excuse as any. All told I spent over 100 hours on the illustration - it's still only about half as involved as I think it should be but after 6 weeks I felt like it needed to be put to bed. The aging of the paper is something I'm pretty proud of here - there are 3 layers of very subtle tone built up from the paper color to approximate a century old piece of acidic, weathered stock.
This was my first large scale curatorial project - it was much more work than I had anticipated but the end result is something I'm incredibly proud of. It's been great to see the series come to life and I'd like to thank Mondo for the opportunity, especially Mitch Putnam for helping me with logistics and general organization. Also, thanks to Paul Thomas Anderson for being open to the project and of course all the artists involved - everyone came through brilliantly and certainly salvaged the project before I had a chance to run it into the ground."
Don't think I could have done anything faster....*sigh*
Yeah, the only way to get it is to refresh for an hour. If you wait for the tweet to come out, it's too late.
