Tom Tomorrow:
About those posters
In response to a number of questions, yes I did a series of four posters for the Philly shows this week which will form one large scene when placed next to each other (though with gaps left in the images between each poster so they don’t have to be jammed right up against each other to look right, if that makes sense).
Since these were for a series of shows the week of Halloween, my idea was to have a giant retro pop-culture costume-party theme — superheroes, robots, space people, monsters, etc., along with a number of band-related/requested “cameos” in the background, all (at least in my mind’s eye) comprising the audience to the last shows at the Spectrum.
The trick was to design four posters which would each stand alone, would work as a larger image when the full set was displayed together, and would work when displayed in sets of two or three. I knew that some people would be attending all four shows and I wanted to create something special for them, but I didn’t want anyone who could only attend one or two shows feeling that they “had” to get the entire set.
As for questions about a signed and numbered edition of the set — definitely not until after the New Year. I’m still recuperating from the Chicago poster sale.
Also: apparently the images are also being used on shirts. Last night was the first I’d heard about that. I guess you can form a larger image with those as well, if you get three other friends together and each wear a different night’s shirt …
I am so excited. I won the lottery, I'm sitting in the 10th row. Last night was amazing and I can't wait for PJ to take the stag e tonight!
Congrats! I have a feeling tonight will be equally amazing. :thumbup:

That's a sweet seat. I was flyin' solo in 211 row 12 last night and it was PERFECT unobstructed view for a short person (like me).
That's cool about your buddy you turned on to PJ. I hope the lottery rewards him as well.

Thinking about a comment that someone said last night....im kinda wishing i didnt know what was soundchecked before the show...I remember lining up during soundcheck in dublin 06 and hearing "education".....obviously they played it that night and it did take away the "wow" element....just my humble opinion of course!!!!

Didn't see him for a long time then I went to smoke in Hawaii06 after the kings and there he was it was CRAZY
Just walked in the door from work. I'm in Phoenix . . . wrong side of the country tonight, so yep, I'm depressed. Made it to the board just in time for the show tho.
I finally got the LA 4 boot in the mail today and am listening it to for the first time. It makes not being in Philly tonight a little more bearable.
