RobL Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Only 85 of these made for the entire tour by AJ Masthay. Montreal,ottawa, toronto hamilton dates right at the top. We have scored about 10 of them so far. Not sure how many are left. Saw Freeker's in person and they are beautiful. you can purchase here http://www.thegiggallery.com/catalog/marco-benevento-fall-tour-2010-aj-masthay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I think my copy will look nice next to (or flanked by) the show flyers I picked up in Montreal and Ottawa. Thanks, Rob! Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 So the posters were made after the tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Was just about to order it but $15 shipping is a bit harsh on a $15 poster.Gonna bite the bullet and save my $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggo Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 shipping was free on mine...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) shipping was free on mine...?IIRC, there's a step where you calculate shipping charges; it defaults to USPS within the US (which is free), but if you select USPS to Canada, it adds $15. Maybe you left it at the default? The e-mail I got with details on my order saysShipping Method: USPS First Class CanadaProducts Subtotal: $15.00USPS First Class Canada: $15.00so you might want to check the e-mail they sent.Aloha,Brad Edited January 10, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 incidentally, shipping 1 or 10 is still $15. Should be pooling them orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobL Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 yup, we pooled our orders together. not worth ordering just one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 And if you pool your order you just never know when one extra is going to arrive in your tube!3 for 2'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Soooo, if anyone wants to pool orders together, lemme know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 BTW what you can't see from the picture is the bottom cut is frayed/ not cut cleanly. I don't know what process in poster making creates this look, but I think its a nice touch when its there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsamuel3 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Just bought mine, $15 CDN what a steal! Just gotta get Marco to sign it at some point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooly Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 i got marco to sign a copy of that record he was selling, good enough for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegiggallery Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hey, guys! Thanks so much for buying these! I've sold a *ton* over the last few days, and my guess is that it's mostly thanks to this thread. However, many orders have been coming through without paying for the shipping to Canada, which is, as stated above, $15.I will, however, ship up to 5 posters together for the flat $15 rate, so if you guys want to pool your orders as is mentioned above, please feel free to do so.I wish there was a way for me to set the store module so that you can't go through with a Canadian address without paying for the Canadian shipping, but alas, I've checked and it cannot be done.I have sent emails to everyone who has checked out without shipping so far, so if you haven't gotten an email, your order is in process and will ship shortly.Just a quick note on the prints: I worked together with Marco's management and the artist, AJ Masthay, to produce these posters as tour merch, but due to a miscommunication, the posters were printed before being approved. However, Marco's manager was nice enough to let me sell them anyway. They are 5-color, hand-carved linoleum block prints, strictly limited to an edition of 85. FYI, I will be raising the price to $25 shortly, so if you want 'em at this price, I'd jump on it soon.Thanks again for buying and for your understanding about the shipping confusion! For those interested, we also have a couple autographed copies of AJ's poster for Marco's Screens 'n' Suds show in Richmond on sale for $100, with all proceeds benefiting the MS Society. Those posters are signed by all 3 members of the band and are available here: http://www.thegiggallery.com/catalog/marco-benevento-screens-n-suds-richmond-2010-aj-masthayThanks again!Peace,B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what process in poster making creates this look, but I think its a nice touch when its there.This is called "deckling" and is the result of tearing the paper vs. cutting it. I like it, too, as it gives it a more hand-made look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsamuel3 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I'd love to get in on the pooling for posters to avoid that nasty shipping fee. Is anyone here from Toronto and looking to order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobL Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Awsome B, thanks for the info, and thanks for the quality work being distributed. Marco's Ottawa show blew us all away, this poster represents beautifullly that night. Cheers man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsamuel3 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 If anyone is ordering from Toronto, shoot me an email lucasdsamuels@gmail.com so we can try and figure out a group shipThanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 hahahah, yes i will check! thanks brad. meggo, if you can up your order to two I'll split the shipping cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sold a *ton* over the last few days, and my guess is that it's mostly thanks to this thread. I'd say its mostly due to FreekerbytheSpeakers awesome thoughtfulness......That would be Scott Turner, Mr Gig Gallery. As Xmas gifts he bought one for me, and one for the Pinhey Palace. That was the version that RobL saw on Friday at my place and I think resulted in this thread. When I opened it I was super shocked/ happy because I hadn't even seen a gig poster for the run up to this point...... If anyone is placing a big order, there are some other great pieces on that site including a great Crowes gig poster that I know some of you attended here in Ottawa: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
