Managed to get mine pre-ordered from argos but I think they sold out yesterday afternoon.

As far as I can tell, EE still has some available but it's only the big Β£500+ bundle, so unless you actually want those accessories or are willing to try to sell them on, you're stuck reloading pages until somewhere like argos, very, EE, game, john lewis, etc.

Or just track this article https://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/gadgets-tech/video-games-consoles/nintendo-switch-2-pre-order-live-uk-b2730856.html

The band Hikes are based in Austin and are amazing indie/mathy band. They meet your previously stated requirements for an opener being "not all men".

Sloth is a really cool San Antonio band I'd recommend for Austin! https://www.instagram.com/slothbandsa?igsh=MTVhb2c1MzVvOWhwbA==

Re: Opener for Austin

If my friend Lisa and I can write and practice 30ish minutes of material before whatever deadline y'all feel is appropriate, can we open for y'all? πŸ‘€

Half joking, half serious

Not sure what their schedules are like in May, but I'm always happy when I get to see either Lola Tried or Moving Panoramas around Austin.

I went with Currys for my Switch 2 as I was back at home in native Wiltshire when [in person] pre-orders began, and as it's also collection in person, I'll have to make a day trip from London on 5th June.

The redeeming factor was that I managed to get 6% off by buying in full using discounted gift cards (one of the few perks of working for a charity). The guy I spoke to said that they [Currys] would be doing more in-person pre-orders before launch once they knew how many more units they were getting across the whole of their UK stores.

Let me know if you do decide on Currys as I can hook you up with the same discounted gift cards...

Will the Sparky Deathcap merch be coming to the U.S. shops? I had some trouble with UK shipping beforehand and I’m scared about it now
