Can somebody help a non-social media dude out and tell me if the Winston with Sacramento prints dropped yet?

The signed and numbered ones did. https://www.studiofallout.com/shop/p/pearl-jam-poster-sacramento

When get paid in posters and they don't sell 

I feel sorry for some of these artists. They get so excited over the opportunity to do a PJ poster, only to have the fans shit all over their work, and then not even be able to make a decent paycheck.

preach

the struggle is real

being a poster artists is a weird gig... you pour all this time and energy into a piece for weeks if not a month or more and cross your fingers it will sell and you can get paid for your time 

I've been making posters now for two decades... and you'd think that'd make me an expert on what fans will like and what they will want to buy or frame on their wall.... and the longer I do this, the less and less I understand about what art will resonate and what art will flop 

you can be working on your poster for weeks, all stoked and proud and can't wait for fans to see it...... and then they don't like it... just takes all the wind out of your sails/sales...          hero or zero... maybe a meh in between 

Thank you for chiming in, Brad. Everyone is an art critic. Bottom line is that there is no need for people to be such assholes after an artist puts all of their effort into trying their best to make something fans will simply enjoy. I am an artist and it would fucking kill my soul to read some of these comments. Shameful.

Tsurt last year deleted a pic with the red dice in it.

8/10 times the posters sell out. don't you think?

It's a small contingent on a message board doing the shitting. A lot of fans aren't on here and buy posters and merch. 

Yeah, it's really sad that some people put so much energy towards being angry about art. We all don't have to appreciate the same art. Hell, I think MANY of the PJ posters aren't worth purchasing, but I'm not gonna spend my time being pissed about it. To each their own.

The "anger" I've seen isn't so much directed at the art. I think there's a sentiment among some poster fanatics that Tsurt isn't really trying to put out a quality product because people are going to buy a million of them anyway. How do you not hire EMEK for Portland? Meanwhile, other bands consistently have much better posters. In fairness though, I think the roster for the rest of this leg is pretty strong. 

Good take on it I agree

Because Becky Cloonan is an awesome artist from Portland? Maybe not well known in these circles but I know the comic book people like me were psyched to see her name. She’s done a bunch of stuff for Marvel & DC. And I thought her poster was great.

Posted this an another thread....Wait to get stuff inside, at least last night.

After walking by the merch line at 1130 to see 200 people, then looking again at 130 to see at least an extra 100 people. Not waiting to much fun to be had.  Plan was to try during the first run of new songs.  For those going Saturday, it is the way to do it.  The inside merch was five lines wide, and about  4 people deep in line.  Got to the front in 5 minutes.  Was not able to get Vegas Show TShirt, but got Key Chains Stickers, an unneeded tshirt and the 2 hoodies I was sent to get.  And they had posters still available.  Don't waste 3+ hours in the sun.  Good luck on Saturday......Enjoy the show, last night was amazing

Beware though, Vancouver didn’t restock on 2nd night

As a semi-merch pro, it just depends on what you want. If you just want a poster and sticker this could work. You are running a risk on t-shirt sizes and as someone else said, restocks. In Saint Paul last year they had almost nothing inside, even show specific t-shirt sizes, on night 2 right at doors inside. They definitely didn't have popular tour items like the basketball and duffle bag. 

If you want to be assured of some specifics of what you want and go inside, you need to try and be in there when doors open. Might not save you tons of time on waiting overall because then you're waiting hours for the show, but you will be out of the heat and get what you want.

Yesterday was the most miserable wait in terms of time I've had at an outdoor stand, but the company was good and they amazingly had everything by the time I got to the front. I think it's just because they weren't moving any one through. But the fact I got everything and made more Pearl Jam fans made it worth it to me.

Tomorrow I'll probably just want the sticker and poster so I won't do it again, but it just depends on what you want and the time you want to spend on stuff. We partially were influenced on waiting yesterday because we've been to Vegas plenty and we don't leave until Sunday afternoon. If we wanted to experience a place we wouldn't have waited.

It's just all part of the fun. I don't begrudge anyone for how they want to experience their shows.
