In order to gain admittance to the in-store you must be one of the first 300 people to pre-buy either the CD or the LP at the Minneapolis store. We will begin pre-selling Minnesota on Monday, Aug. 22 at 9:00 a.m. The first 300 to pre-buy the album will receive a pass that will be required (with receipt of purchase) to get into the in-store and to turn in for their pre-bought copy when the album is released on Tuesday, Sept. 13. One pass will be issued for each copy purchased; each pass will admit only one person. There will be a limit of four passes per customer to purchase. This promotion is only available at our Minneapolis location; online pre-sales will not receive a pass to the in-store. The evening of the in-store (Sept. 11) we will close as usual at 6:00 p.m. and reopen for the in-store at 7:00 p.m. admitting all those with passes. Tue, 30 Aug 2011 14:27:16 -0700 http://masonjennings.com/news/childhood_dream_job/ http://masonjennings.com/news/childhood_dream_job/ Sports Statistician. Yep. That was Mason’s first dream job. Paste Magazine recently highlighted 50 Musicians and Their Childhood Dream Jobs, including Mason, and here’s why he wanted that job: I thought it’d be the sweetest thing imaginable to be a football or baseball statistician. To be at all the games. To make sense and order out of the beautiful games. I used to read the stats religiously. At night I would organize the football divisions in my head to relax. Then one day at school they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up and I said: “statistician.” It got quieter and more pointy in the room than dead dust and I heard the sound of my coolness drowning in a familiar little teeny nerd pond. My dream was crushed. And from the muck another dream grew. Age when he wanted to be that profession: Eight years old. Check out the original article and read up about the childhood dream jobs of other great musicians HERE.
