Well I guess you can call me that Idiot and i'm damn proud of it. And i am not some rich Dick who is not a fan. I've been into PJ since the first time i saw Alive on HeadBangers Ball on a Saturday nite back in '91. As i said i'm not some rich Douche who bought this banner. I bought this banner cause i didn't wnat to see it disappear and be lost forever. I wanted this banner the first time i saw it and everytime i went to Phillies games and still saw it hanging on the Spectrum way after the shows took place. I went to 3 of the Spectrum shows and plenty of others around this country, those shows meant alot to me cause i was with friends and the band that changed my life way back when. Now do i have any idea what i'm gonna do with it, no, but i'm happy i got it. I may try to get in touch with the band and see if they want it or i may do nothing with it but please know that it is in the hands of true fan that plans on keeping it with pride and joy. any suggestions are appreciated thanks

I would love to hang it up somewhere but unfortunately i don't have a large building handy this beast is 50 foot by 30 foot on a good note in the summer time i will be able to lay it out in the field next to my house so any close planes or hot air balloons will be able to check it out. Just think our very own PJ crop circle in PA.

That'll be so cool !! I will definitely visit your PJ crop circle if you decide to do that.

Congrats man!
I wish I could have grabbed it!

how did you get it to your house? Do you have it in your possession yet?

gubym20

Yes i do have the banner i picked it up the week after the auction ended. They had all the items for pick up at Bullies Restaurant below the Spectrum. They folded it up pretty good about 2 foot squared and the strapped it up for moving but it is heavy as hell. I had to get one of the guys working there to help me get it to my car. Once i got it home i used a hand truck to move it, it's that heavy. Like i said now to find a use for it. I'll think of something.
