RE: 3X4

As I understand it, the initial run is a limited
edition, all screen-printed-by-hand labor of love, and
the first batch got swallowed up at the cd release
show at Wetlands.  I went to that show, and was one of
a few folks who waited a bit too long to redeem the
card they gave you at the door for the cd, and so I
have had to wait a few days myself for the good folks
at pox world to complete another hand-crafted batch. 
So in this case, it seems it is just the
time-consuming nature of the product that is holding
things up.
