Does anyone know if all the posters are available here in the bands merchandise store, or do they only put the ones that haven't soldout at the actual show?

I really want to get all the T5 ones, but I'm not crazy about holding a tube all night, every night. I'd love to just order all 5 at one time and have them shipped.

I noticed not all the summer show posters are available in the store, and wonder if that's because they sold out at the show. I'd definitely rather do the tube thing, than risk not getting the posters at all.

Were they available here for say RCMH or MSG after the shows had passed?

Looking for some sage advice from anyone who's been around awhile. ;)

I'm really hoping it's just one poster for the entire run.

ericm, the RCMH and MSG posters sold out before the show ended.  at MSG there actually 2 diff posters for sale.  the guy burwell screen prints sold out.

i recommend bringing a tube the first night, buying a poster and seeing if you can check it at coat check.  after the first night's show, some of your questions will be answered re: rate of selling out, etc.  then you can decide how you want to handle your poster purchases.

Thanks ms. yvon.

Appreciate  the RCMH/MSG info. 8-)

Sage advice indeed, I'll have to try the coat check. ;)

Oh no, mahg33ta!

So there's a story behind this - the poster arrived in the mail damaged... I offered to mail it back, but the artist just said to keep it and they'd mail another.   He did want me to send a picture proving I'd destroyed it (in case I was trying to scam a second free poster- not that he suspected me, but he said it happens) - so I let the kids go to town.   I made it VERY CLEAR that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity for them so have fun.     We also didn't tell the wifey so when she came downstairs and saw the kids in action she shit her pants ;D

C'mon Walter, that's hardly the collector's spirit?!?   I know you better than that.

Are you saying that for budget reasons?   Or because you don't want to deal with posters every night?   Because I'm hoping for the coolest most mind-blowing run of 5 related prints the concert poster scene has ever seen.

Just like you did here, leaving us to wonder!  Too funny. ;D

I'm just not a fan of individual nightly posters for a multi night run.  Phish has started doing this and irks the hell out of me.  It's mostly a matter of wall space, and also one of tradition.  I don't want to hang 5 different posters to remind me about all 5 nights, one super awesome one would suffice.  If they do 1 for each night, I really hope they're small in size.

How about 5+1?

One for each individual show, and one commemerating the 5-show run.

That's a fantastic story!  Glad you were able to work it out with the poster artist, too.

I'd love it if they did a series of posters that "fit" together like the ones for the Wilco residency...

So I'm unsure what the poster situation for T5 is going to be.... but I have plans on making a relatively small-to-medium sized poster that's for all 5 nights... I guess I don't really want to make such a thing if there winds up being another one available, though! (the other one will likely be cooler!) I'm not really into graphic design, and I don't have any means to screen-print, but I have my good old colored pencils, paints, crayons, rulers, compasses, tracing paper, and creative mind!

What I think I'll do is just go ahead and make one (as it's on my mind constantly...) and just fly by the seat of my pants! I can post pics on here and see what ya'll think, and if anyone even likes 'em! Then if so I can make however many prints are necessary. And if I'm glad with how the design turns out, I'll probably make a handful to bring anywho  :)

I think I'm going owl-themed, as  for me it seems the easiest little design to work with, with maybe a dawn-and/or-twilight in the background, with some moving trees, maybe? And maybe I can squeeze some moonlight into the picture too? I like the owl theme, but I also am partial to the little creatures from the One Big Holiday vid....

Well if anyone has any input, please let me know!! I'll try to keep my eye out for any announced official poster ideas too, if such thing exists... Just so I know if one's already in the works and can gauge my efforts, etc..  I've never seen posters pre-announced for events, but then again I haven't really ever looked!

inside the YUM center, I have found and taken several black and white versions from around town.

[woodnymph]

Hahahah well snap! There's one pre-released!! That's AWESOME!!! Ayyyye!

[mahg33ta]

Does anyone have a Chicago print that they would be willing to part with? I didnt get one since I didnt want to carry it and it looked like rain. Thanks!

You might try contacting the artist, Jason Brammer, and see if he has any for sale:

I would love to see what you come up with.
