How had I not heard about this before? They were holding an amazing $5 poster sale at Grumpy's downtown and I just had to go. The problem was, it started at 6 pm, which just happened to be the exact time I started work that day. Crap. But luckily, the sale went on till 11:30 and I only had to work till about 10:30. Perfect!
The only thing now that was standing in my way was the -50 degree wind chill forecasted for that night. But guess what, I am tough as nails (yeah right) and Jason and I braved the cold and lack of parking to attend the sale. By the time we got there, the $5, slightly imperfect posters, were pretty much picked over. But we did find one $5 poster of a movie that Jason's teacher made.
So we nabbed that.
In addition to the $5 posters they had a bunch of there other posters and merchandise for sale at there online price of $20 to $50. I was very excited to see the Boogie Nights poster that I have wanting to get for Jason (and myself) for quite some time. I knew the online price was $30 but I asked about it anyway. They said that tonight only it was $20. Awesome! Then when we said we would take it, they realized it was the last one and it had tape all over that back and a small dent on the bottom, nothing major. Because of that they gave it to us for $15. Even more awesome! And the thing is huge! The poster, I mean. Not Dirk Diggler's you-know-what. Well... maybe that too.
Then I stumbled upon this amazing Decemberists poster from a show they did in Germany. It's the shit.
Then for being such a geek and spending so much money, I got a bonus mini poster for free!
So now I got posters coming out my ears and I have to try and hunt down frames for all of these. But I couldn't be happier.
