The Target bonus is "Indiscriminate Act of Kindness".
I hear there were a lot of problems with the release yesterday. Nobody was able to find it in Walmart, even though Artist 2 Management tells us that 88% of US Walmarts received their shipment on time. There was a problem with Targets in some areas of the country getting the non-bonus track edition, but that is supposed to be corrected within the next couple of days.
But all the headaches almost make me glad that I wasn't able to purchase either one here, and a friend did it for me. She had ordered the Walmart ones online and was able to easily find the Target one in store yesterday - meaning both should be in the mail and on their way to me today. With customs I'm going to have to wait about 2 weeks to receive them, but after 2 years of waiting for this CD I can be patient for another couple of weeks.
And we don't think you're a doofus. I'd have done the same thing to get the CD. I've done the same thing for Taylor - do you have any idea how many bookstores I checked in New York City looking for a copy of HFoS last summer? But I found one on the last afternoon.

It's so good to hear from you. We miss you too.
Then yesterday I woke
up to snow, and it continued snowing most of the day. By the end we had close to a foot. Ick. The good thing is that temps are supposed to be above freezing
all week, so the snow won't last long, but it is a pain to have to go through all the melting - freezing - turning to ice - melting - etc, etc again.
Sorry you're having problems. It's still not available in stores up here
- that's scheduled for the first week of April - but I do have the Walmart and Target exclusives now. Plus my iTunes copy, which I had on the evening of
the 9th.
