The new coconut telegraph

Post by jbfinscj »

Has anyone else received the new cocotel in the mail. I was just flipping through it and its all catalog. There isn't one article to be found, just a few blurbs here and there. I miss the articles. :(

I thought the same thing when I read it at work. They made it friendly for smartphones and their pocketbook. Ironically, I didn't see anything I would think about buying.

Yeah me neither, usually there's at least one t shirt. My wife didn't even find anything, she's looking at it now.

Click on the blurbs and they become articles. At least on the iPad they did

I remember when you got excited for the Winter issue because that was the catalog issue. :-?

I can't remember the last time I got an issue of the Coconut Telegraph. But I'm old so I can't remember a lot of things.

I opened the electronic version on my pc. 99% catalog, very little to the blurbs. Like others already said, for the first time I can remember, I didn't see anything that made me go "oooohhhh" and wanted to buy.

I miss the old Carribean Soul t-shirts. Much better quality and nicer designs. :(

+10000000. I saw some Margaritaville t-shirts at Sams. Felt like kleenex.

Maybe there's just not enough info to divulge for his new album but that would be a bit strange considering it may be released as soon as next month.

I'm not even sure if that is accurate, it's just that July 16th makes more sense than August 16th as the former falls on a Tuesday. I seem to recall a photo making the rounds not so long ago with a caption about the record being finished so at least we know that much.
