The selection is largely the same as it has been for the other 2006 shows. Navy blue Skull shirt, green "beer" shirt, PM jumper, footy scarf, etc. I didn't see anything that looked real new in that range (though there may be new "smaller" stuff at teh front of the table).

I did see two new posters. Both quite nice. And with one of them I had this train of thought:

Wow. That's kind of cool. I like that poster.
Hey, the photo on that poster looks kinda familiar.
Hey! It looks really familiar.
HEY! That's my photo!

I spent a few hours yesterday trying to find out who had produced the poster. In the middle of my random enquiries I got an email from the designer saying "Hey! I'e been notified that a poster I designed using one of your photos is going to be produced. (etc etc)"

Made me giggle.

Any info on the prices? I know that sometimes, things cost more at the gig then on websites and such (which is fine, because if that means the band can make a few extra bucks while on the road, Im glad to help); and Id hate to show up without enough cash to get what I want.

I have a photo of the merch stand (including prices), but won't be able to make it visible until Friday.

Anyone know how big the poster is? I wouldn't mind it for the bedroom door :| :)

Er, hold on a min, so even though you write (c) on all your images the person who nicked this photo just nicked it regardless of the (c)

what a piss take.

Thanks all.

Yep - From the March shows. First night at the Nokia in NYC.

The poster is largish. Maybe 1/2 of a meter by 1 meter. Roughly. The sticker on it at the show says "$20".

i got in touch with DzM regarding the photo as soon as i heard it was going through. we sorted it out. and no, DzM, i don't mind your posting it at all. hope you all like the artwork. i certainly love that photograph.

the poster (if it's been printed at the size i built it) measures 20 inches by 30 inches. sorry, i haven't got a metric converter handy, and i haven't seen a final printed piece yet.
