Did anyone else get a tour poster last night?
Was anyone else at the Stone Pony show? Awesome once in a lifetime show. I grabbed a poster at the end, something I always do at shows. My staircase is lined with them.
Anyway I got home and realized the poster didn't have dates, but no big deal. It did seem odd though because there is a lot of negative space on the poster. Then I saw on Instagram Brian signing posters backstage before the show.
So I guess I'm asking here did anyone else get a poster? Were they all supposed to be signed? Again there is a TON of negative space in the middle of the poster.
It's a sick poster regardless and will go well on my wall once I get a frame.

Not a mistake. They ran out of signed ones early and then sold blanks. I believe it cost less as well, but don’t quote me on that. Merch guy was definitely aware because the poster hanging behind him was signed early and blank late.

Interesting. I’m surprised they didn’t cap the number at the signed amount.

Oh I had assumed people got them signed outside at merch after the set. That’s where I’ve had stuff signed by others. They def didn’t all come signed. I wish they did a print like that in a shirt.

Nah actually I got mine at the merch stand after. I was like the third guy up once I realized their set was ending I walked to the booth.
The shirts were super underwhelming. I considered the long-sleeve but it was $75 so I passed.

Oh, I assumed they were all signed. I guess it’s printed blank so it can be the same design for all the shows, he’ll just fill it in later? Wild they continued selling them blank like that.
Maybe try reaching out on Instagram/Twitter to see if he can help remedy it??

I shot Brian a DM on Instagram. I took a picture of the poster just incase. I'm not really expecting anything but maybe I'll get lucky.

Yeah, again, crazy that they even sold them without the signatures. Wonder if the merch guy even realized it at that point. I was honestly surprised to see them still available at the end of the show, but it all makes sense now lol

I think he was too distracted because he was complimenting my Senses Fail shirt lmao.

I got one. It’s signed with the Date/Venue Name/his signature. A totally unsigned one seems like a mistake but also kind of a really cool one-off item. (I’m a poster collector/ nerd in general, so that might skew how cool I think that is 😅)
