anyone else a gig poster collector? My basement looks like the freaking RNRHOF! LOL. I buy them at gigs (or on eBay) and block mount them and hang them on my basement wall. I'm running out of room, so I might have to take my guitars off the wall to make some space!

I scored one from 1994 this morning on eBay. I checked it out on expressobeans to make sure it was legit. Soundgarden's summer US/Canada tour. I didn't even know it existed. I can't wait to get it! I love finding old gems like that one!

    coincidentally or not, the gig poster I mentioned above is from the SG show where I was lucky enough to get backstage and met and talked to Matt Cameron for about 20 mins while we watched Ben run around the parking lot trying to get run over by the tour buses. Got his sig on my pass. I only wish I would have had a camera with me!

    I really really want the White Stripes one from the Icky Thump stop at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg. Can't find it ANYWHERE.

    that's all I collect is gig posters, although I do want a Emek peace tree to hang up.

    Collect both non-PJ gig prints and art prints.

    Some of my favorite non-PJ gig posters ... (just a few, because I have many)

    And of course, anything with Joe Strummer ...

    Get on his mailing list. I'd guess before the end of the month.
