Posters 2008 Summer/Fall Tour

[BH]

I guarantee you somebody is going to buy ten of them and then try to sell them on eBay for $100.

[alexzbik]

is the miami poster online anywhere?

[Cameron]

love the austin poster and it was 25 bones.  the one at acl last night is also cool and was only 20.

[European-stranger]

I see the category "2008 US summer tour posters" in the merch/store section and see the RCMH poster, too.
I can not buy it ("not enough inventory").

Does that mean that this poster was available and is sold out,
OR
does the sale of the RCMH poster start later on???

so some dooshbag sent Mr. Burwell this email in regards to there being a 2nd edition of the Radio City poster. some idiots never learn to shut their fugging mouths (or lay off the keyboard). Corey, if you're out there... ..l..

"From Corey G: cherokeemist88@.....

Thank you for making the decision for me to not collect anymore of your posters. I just can't see how you can justify making a 2nd edition. You flat out lied to your fan base. You told them it was a limited edition, which it is not. Having something that is limited and knowing not alot of others have it and it will not be reproduced makes it all the more special. Yes the image matters, but to me that limited aspect of it is right up there and is part of what makes collecting fun. If we knew every artist was going to make a second edition, you wouldn't get to have that rush of being one of the few to get one. Or the thrill of hunting down a piece for a long time than finally scoring it. Thank you for making collecting not fun anymore. Was the extra money really worth lying to your fan base over?"

it's all right there, including an explanation by Guy about the 2nd edition. not that he ever needed to give one, but yanno people suck. next time anyone thinks about ripping into artist, remove head from ass and think about what you're doing first. Guy is one of the coolest, nicest people i've come across in the realm of gig posters. that sentiment would be echoed by many others, that i promise you. i'm guessing Corey G bought one off ebay for lots of $$$ and got pissed they were made available again for original price. boo-hoo, ya donkey.

[Kory]

wow, that sucks...
I tried all yesterday to get one and even called... every time I put it in my cart it said it wasn't available but folks on that forum were buying them today... I kinda hate how that part went down.

Fuck Corey G!

Guy's a nice guy, guys!  :D

Well Corey G is an idiot if that was the case. Guy is a stand up person, artist, and all around guy. People and the internet I swear, I bet that turd wouldnt say all of that to Guys face.

I hate to say that emails like this are not out of the ordinary. I have received a few hostile emails from people regarding the posters I did for DC and Philly.

From a designers stand point we are caught in an awkward position as there are some people that did not get a poster and some people who want them all to themselves. A second edition poster is pretty common, it allows people to not have to go crazy trying to find an original (in theory) but keeps the first edition still special. I have seen Guy's poster on eBay going for a lot of money and you know what, Guy is not seeing any of it. The only people that this angers are the poster "flippers" not the people that actually like the band and/or design.

On that note, most MMJ fans that have emailed me have been peaches to talk to and I look forward to getting my posters out there. Guy and Status Serigraph are good people and great designers!

Guy is the bee's knees.  Never met him, but I got my poster from my very first show (Portland, OR Aladdin Theater) for FREE.  Straight up, just given to me while I waited for the show to start.  And I know that Vespachick also got a kick-down poster at the Crystal Ballroom show.  I love his work and I hope he takes all this with a grain of salt.  
And...poster collecting is over-rated.  We have a whole closet full of valuable posters that we cannot even find place for on our walls (lots of limited edition Phish prints and few MMJ that we have not had the money to frame).  Guess what?  Out of all our tour posters, spanning the years, all but one represents a show either me or my husband attended.  And no matter how valuable they get on the ebay market, we will never sell them.  So now, they sit in our closet  :-/
That is not to say that I won't be getting Guy's poster for the Edgefield....because all of my MMJ posters (minus the Fillmore give-away from NYE) are made by Guy.  Long live Guy!

I second that - he sent me a new MMJ RCMH poster because mine was all messed up - solid dude, and looking forward to getting more of his posters!

[bluesdiver]

Is there any way to get a Red Rocks poster by guy burwell?  I heard they may be available through the jacket site?

[Dillsnufus]

SHIT i missed it again if anyone has extras of the radio city poster please let me know thanks.

[hizzo]

The one I saw in austin looks different than the EB Art search one if I can remember correctly. I'm still kicking myself for not buying one. If anyone has one, help a sister out? :)

[TheBigChicken]

Does anyone know if there are posters for the European shows in November, too?
I will be at the  Berlin show and take a poster tube with me if posters are sold...
