    Resurrecting this thread. The tour is just over, some people probably bought stickers at the show. Here is a handy way to turn them into car magnets:

    1) Buy those printable magnet sheets (like Avery company) that you can run through your printer.
    2) Buy picture laminating sheets.
    3) Stick the sticker onto the magnet sheet.
    4) Put the sticky side of the picture laminating sheet on top of the sticker, being sure all little bit of the sticky part is stuck to the magnet around the sticker, smoothing out all air bubbles as much as possible.
    5) With an X-acto knife or box cutter, cut around the edge of the sticker, cuttig through all layers.

    Then you have a magnet that is laminated to protect it from water, and will stick to your car. Put it on just after you wash your car, so it is a clean dry surface, and be sure to take it off if you go through an automatic car wash, and they don't last forever, but usually at least a year. (Mine did)

    You can also put them on your fridge, which is where mine are until I wash my car.

    They are not magnets... but on Ebay you can get vinyl stickers for your back windshield, windows, anywhere... I bought a couple last year. Gave one to my friend and kept the other for myself. It's pretty big, about 10 inches, and the picture is stickman with pearl jam written underneath. Just checked the seller and he no longer has them, but there are a few that are similar. Like I said, they have been on for a little over a year and they do not show any signs of wear... and that includes scrapping the ice off of my back windshield in the winter and such.

    That's handy, and I bet they could be turned into magnets too if you wanted.
