maybe i didn't say it right...which isn't unusual...

...what you said, no poster mimics reality...is exactly what i was tryign to say! and to tie it together i was trying, maybe a sorry attempt, to tie it together by saying don't hate on this because it isn't "literal" to the band or show or festival.

also, re: hula girls...i was saying that, after being at 10klf, this actually does indeed fit the show that the poster was printed for. were there any there for DMB...my wife certainly was!

lastly, at alpine i never, literaly, saw a mouse farming cheese while driving to the venue, nor did i see anyone playing cards or poker at alpine, other than myself playing cribbage in the lot! i mean not every poster has to be exactly what the band is about, etc. again, just my opinion...

I'm hoping Monsterquest goes looking for that mouse cheese farmer. He could be out there!

I didn't see the release thread but I have to mention this somewhere- for I thought it was rather funny.

Well- the gates opened at noon and folks ran to the stage as the poster monkeys gathered for bananas going on sale at the merchandise tree house. As always, there is tension in the air- whose in line where, are they starting with low numbers and whose going to get what, whats the limit. Its just a large banaster, no line- folks just standing and stacking. Very civil to be honest- looked like a good group of monkeys, including myself.

Well- no posters? Monkeys are restless- I hear chatter of somebody waiting for 3 hours at one show to get the bananas....oh no!. The great merchandise women (who was actually a very kind lady) gave us news that the posters were sent federal express and the bananas WERE LOST in Fargo, and they had plans to send somebody to pick them up but they can't be located!! Begast!!

So we wait about 30 minutes- doesn't look good and then the great poster goddess brings news that the prints have been located and are on the way. Celebration!!

So, everybody is giddy and the poster goddess makes a decision to start selling THE TUBES without the posters in them, so in concept, when the posters arrived- you would receive a poster for every tube.

Well- it sounded good, real good- once I saw the pace of the 2 merch people... good old Minnesotian's...... thought it was great until the posters arrived and you realized that not every person in line was as honest as they should have been.

They sold about 25 tubes I would guess- 2 per person, lots of tubes- kind of hard to keep track of 25 people waiving tubes wanting the posters they paid for, along with selling new tubes to other folks at the same time!!!

I watched and knew there would be trouble- for the most part everybody was honest- for the most part.

...i was there too! we HAD to have rubbed elbows! i was behind the girls in the front of the pack...who DEMANDED they get their pre-sale-tubes marked with #1, etc. so they could be first to get the posters when they came! i also helped 3 of them roll thier posters to put in their tubes! i HATE when people get a sweet poster and then straight-up mangle the thing putting it into the tube!

g69p...i take it you heard the "frank" rumblings at that poster line, or lack of a line! "where's frank?"

bottom line...i was RIGHT there with you!

Since when did DMB fans become hoopers? Looks like an SCI rip off. Methane totally sucks, IMO. Methane needs to go find some originality.

tell us how you really feel?

Methane has been doing some pretty good prints for the last couple of years.

Yeah, I'm a good artist too, when I rip off my ideas from others and pass them off as my own.

Damn I think Methane has put out their best stuff yet with the DMB this year. This print probably being the best.

Newbie question but who is the "SCI" in reference too?

I really don't get this hula to SCI relationship and being ripped off

Hula girls orginally came from the Grateful Dead, not SCI

If were going to bash the print with hippie folklore at least get it right.

To say that anybody owns the hula girl image is narrow minded- it fit the festival perfect to which DMB was playing.

Am I the only person who thinks Miss Saigon when they see this print?

I have added some, though I am no photographer by any means.
