I gotta say, I bought it without seeing the fuss of why everyone liked it. I liked it, but didn't love it.

It came in the mail yesterday along with Berlin and Boston, and all I can say about Hartford is WOW.

Viewing this beauty on a computer screen does not do it justice.

Boston is pretty kick arse too.

    I bought it at the show but im not a big fan of it now. I would be willing to trade it if anyone has a Boston 04 Red or something else.

    I didn't get it when I saw it at the show but now knowing that Mark Twain wrote Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn while living in Hartford makes a lot more sense to me. Hampton really did a great job combining classic literature characters into modern day art. I love the poster and can't wait to get it framed.

    Yep. Hampton said the band asked him to do a geographical poster and that's what he did.

    I just wish Hampton would hurry up and send mine! I paid him over 2 months ago for it! :D
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    The computer definitely doesn't do it justice. It's a beautiful poster. Just got it back from the framers today:

    Very very nice job... That kind of makes me wish I had picked that up instead of Portugal.
