I used to buy all the posters I could, had them framed & put them around my house. I had 6 of them. One day I looked at them again & said, "these things are god awful ugly."
So I sold them. This one would definitely be in that category.
"If you're looking for someone to pull you out of that ditch, you're out of luck."
I would be willing to trade one for tonight's if anyone wants

I thought the world...Turns out the world thought me
I was there at roughly 6:30, a few mins before, and there were no more posters for sale.
I asked one of the merch booth guys upstairs to see if they even had posters to sell, and he said they only had 460 or so for the whole show, and they were all sold down stairs.
Not sure what poster you were buying after 7pm at 3 or 4 at a time, and that you saw 1500 plus of them??? Was it the Ames Bros. poster,or the regular tour poster??
I didnt even buy a poster..I didnt like it, but I stood around with friends thinking about it for a while. But yea at least 600-700 posters on the right as soon as u walked in..around 6pm all of a sudden the merch stand on the left which wasnt selling posters now also had another HUGE stack...and the other reason I decided against it was seeing that there were so many I figured I can get one whenevre...MASS PRODUCED like a muthafucka..obviously people werent looking hard enough or are gullible enough to believe the scammers..I mean the merch stand guys..233...pfft yea ok :rolleyes: try 1233...guaranteed
Aah, fuck it, I’m just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin’ TV...

Like I could even change the world, yeah right...

Lines up at stand 1 @ 5:15 and it was sold out. Got in the other line and got 1 of the last few wristbands @ 5:30. Judging by the fast sellout rate and people in line at the end of the show - theres no way there were more than a few hundred. Ames usually has a smaller run then Klausen.
As for the poster- Tons of color- prety impressive and has "the happening" theme going on. i had a kid offer me $200 on the spot for the poster and I declined. I also bought the ames sub and am glad I did.
Also- limited supply + msg + incredible show +dvd = high demand for the poster

I got in line at the merch stand at 4:30 when they started to set the T-shirts up. Security didn't care as long as you weren't just a giant mess of people. They opened the stand at 5pm.

A guy right in front of me bought 5 posters. Not 5 wristbands. 5 actual posters. He rolled them up, put em in a tube and headed out. I'm sure that totally fucked up the wrist band count for later in the night. One merch guy at stand A wasn't even putting the wrist bands on, he'd just give them to you. A guy behind me walked up asked for 4 wrist bands and he got them. They didn't seem to give a crap and just wanted to disperse the massive crowd that had gathered.
There HAD to be way more than 460 posters. There were EASILY 500 on each side (merch A & and were stacked cross hatched.
at Camden some dude asked for 2 wristbands and the merch guy was like OK, then after some grumbling from other people in the line he said "where is the other person for the wristband"...Dude had somebody else in line with him and gave it to them, The guy was actually going to give out 2 wristbands until people started bitching.....it happens, what are you going to do. All in all, I think the wristband thing was a good idea...peace

That`s funny, I was probably at a different stand in Camden, but some guy tried to buy 2 (one for the GF) and the merch guy refused until he pulled his GF through the mob up to the table. All in all, I thought the system worked quite well in Camden and DC, I was very impressed. Not sure why MSG appears to have been such a cock-up, but then I hear 2003 didn`t go all that great either. Must be an MSG thing.

ANOTHER shitty poster from Ames. they should fire those fuckers.
nice input... constructive criticism is always appreciated from fuckers and artists alike :rolleyes:
any particular reason its so "shitty"? if youre gonna come on here with your negativity atleast give reasons... no reason to piss off the 10C/Rubysdad again
and for the record... those "fuckers" put a shitload of time into this print just based on the number of colors used alone...
This is classic Ames.
I love it. Reminds me of those first posters I bought from the bros. in 96.
Keep it up, Ames.
Don't take shit from the haters who don't get it and don't understand the thought, political references, humor and tributes to graphic-art history at play in your work.

It reaaaaaally sux... Where's the art in that? or maybe they're trying to go cheap Kenny Sharf style.
It is really a dissapointment, the last one I loved from the Ames bros what the Philly ship.
