GIVEAWAY: Led Zeppelin Exhibition Booklet WE HAVE A WINNER!!

I was initiated into the poster world by getting a real 'jem' and watching the other show print get sold out in front of me... Denver 2006. I don't mind the klausen print that I was able to get, but it really is IMO one of his worse to date. The ames Petty vs PJ sold out and I had to turn to the secondary market to get one, which was actually a few years after the show. I stood in line and watched Honolulu 06 get yanked off the wall at the merch stand... took about 3 months to find that, and BOY DID I PAY for it!!

I guess that is where I would confess to the rest of the users, that I became an addict. I bought almost every CCFA print from the Wishlist Foundation for the rest of the year/tour. I was an active participant, heart racing, fingers flinching every time 10C dropped another poster from the 06 tour. I was awake late at night when Klausen had his sales, and scored a bunch of great prints from 10C sales that were not advertised until the F5 button was scorched!

I started watching Emeks' site, and time after time got "store closed" until finally I got the Bee print. I watched and read with great interest when a bunch of the Santa barbara prints were torn to shreds and posted inside a bathroom! I bought print club subs to Dan MCcarthy, and was WOWed when I got the first one from him! So much Detail! I bought almost every Leia Bell print as she clumsily dropped them for sale on her new site. I called her and wanted to finish a collection and tried to find her location/small gallery in SLC before she moved into her current larger place. I remember the price changing as the inventory dropped...

I found Hampton and all his great work, and ordered the Obama print from him. I loved that I was able to 'speak' directly to him (through email) about some of his rare prints an he did his best to get me my fix. To have an artist dig through his archives for you feeels goood...

I took my daughter to see Adele, and knew Emek did a print but not for the Salt lake show. I contacted him and was able to get a print custom doodled by Emek to my daughter. So cool! He "drew" her name and cute butterflys!

I remember opening the Kenyon Hall I had scored on the 10C sale, and thinking "this is the shit" and then being able to grab the EV2008 prints at the one solo show I attended with my wife and two kids. I bought 3 of each... one for myself and one for each kid... thats a chunk of change. Who knows what they will do with them...
I remember hunting down the Bugs trio from 2000. I 'won' each one, and paid way too much for them. then spent HOURS on American Frame trying to decide what matting and what frame. They are still in the flat file, under the bed...
Oh I could go on...
Donating awesome prints to pre-parties.
Selling most of my collection of Klausens, Dusse, DC, Gorge, to pay for my mtn bike...
Sending tubes across the oceans to other fans.
The post office ladies! Oh how they love to see me and give me another tube that I will one day build a mini log cabin from!

Anyway..
I almost bought one of the Hampton Led Zep prints too, but have refrained. I want a new mtn bike, and I really have to keep this thing in check!

edit: almost forgot to mention the drama that these pieces of paper induces! How about the video taper got of the Evil Empire known as ________ and those damn flippers! Who can forget the Donkey Kong on the pisser floor for sale before the show was over!
