I clearly have a poster fetish.
If there are a couple of square centimeters of free space on my walls, I'll find a way to fill them.

....just thought I'd share.

did you get to go to the poster show at the field house?

I most certainly did.

And sexy times were had. sexy times.

I am telling you, posters are so the past. It's all about putting vinyl up on your wall when you have free space now.

I will take a picture of my room, and I have the entire place decorated with my standard posters, drum sticks, guitar picks and what not, but I also have my collection of 7" up on the trim between my wall and ceiling, and some scattered 12" filling up other space.

I'm not wrecking the vinyl, and I am prominently displaying my favorite singles from my favorite bands, so I am happy. My centerpiece is either my entire Fred Thomas section above my bedroom window, or my Neutral Milk Hotel "Holland, 1945" single between my Xiu Xiu and Animal Collective singles.

I also have another chunk of my wall comprised of my Built to Spill and Pavement singles. Those are nice. Nothing better than knowing I am one of the lucky ones that has "Summer Babe" on 7".

But yeah, you should do that. It adds a new dimension to your room, and I am certain if you took a potential sexual partner in there, you'd be getting some.

Ohhh see, thats sweet. Because I have a very small collection of vinyl that I've always felt stupid for having because I don't own a record player. So I threw it all up on my walls today.
I'm fantastic.

It makes me happy.

It has ended. And taken with it a part of my soul.
Alas, until next year.

yeah, i dunno, i went on the last day, and i was kind of disappointed. i can clearly remember a time when the poster sale used to be a lot more awesome.

hmm. i wonder how one would go about making a poster of their own...

Any copy and print place will make them for you. I know we do, its like X per X square feet. You'll get a huge ass poster for $12 and thats probably what you would pay normally for one.

oooooh, reeeeeaallly?

hey sarah, you know what i've always wondered? which staples do you work at? the one on stavanger?

Random Name · Post by **Random Name** » 11/1/2006, 7:06 pm

Oui oui

And I'm there till bloody midnight on friday. All of Stavanger is open until 12. Because they suck. Suck sooo much. Ugh.

But yeah, they can make a giant sexy poster for you if you want.

Post by **saman** » 11/1/2006, 7:33 pm

this is very interesting. i'll have to drop by and see about this poster business. and of course, look for sarah while i'm at it. working until 12 on a friday definitely isn't cool though.
