It was pretty anticlimactic and lame, to be honest with you. The band is not there, it's these two women. Who, while very nice, were not what I expected. We were taken to the Mutter Museum, where we listened to the album on headphones (which is also disappointing and anticlimactic, by the way). We got a lithograph poster, which there are only 10 of, which is pretty cool but I was totally disappointed at the lack of t-shirts, as that's what I was expecting. I just feel like there should've been more to the experience, since it had been hyped up so much. Definitely not worth my friend's car getting towed after we had to walk back to it since the MGMT van we were in got kind of hit by a car right by city hall. Basically, the whole experience was just like the album: lacking. I was among the Philadelphia contest winners. It was pretty anticlimactic and lame, to be honest with you.

Still, at least it was something different than just releasing MP3s on MySpace ... I thought it was a pretty cool idea and I’m neither a hipster no MGMT fanboy.
