We The People

I am sure there is a proper thread somewhere for this but buggered if I can find it. 

Anyway, spent a day out and about with Matt yesterday (Sunday), picked him up at his place and he showed me a few of his favourite things. The first thing I noticed when I came in the door at his place was Green Mansions (1959) AU1SH - geeze it's nice in person, as is Funny Face, as was FP AU1SH - and I didn't know he had so many Bond 1SHs. 

I have to say I had a few "well, hello" moments as I was flicking through his posters. :grin: And it's always good to see posters on the wall (lots) plus, he tells me, he has a spot for three special ones...

Anyway, we hit the streets, swung by a couple of antique shops (I bought a poster) and then headed down to TYABB (@Pancho - worth the visit) there's a shizzer load of posters, well laid out store but they are not priced for the collector. Matt tells me that on the odd occasion he spots a bargain but as I said, not for the collector more for the present giver or decorator, because who could live off the income of the Movie Poster Collector (Latin: notorus-tightuss).

So TYABB is definitely worth the visit, the burger and chips for lunch down there is a decent feed too.

So thanks to Matt for a top day out, I am sure we will do it again, besides it was a great chance to meet the guy who for the last 4 or 5 years has been poking fun at me (and me at him) - and we also had plenty of time to chat as we drove around, it was good to take the piss out of Canadians, Texans and Argentinians too - mainly because they are a long way a way and can't hurt us.

    Nice story David. And if I remember from my class in high school, your spot on with your Latin! =)

    Sounds like a great day! Greg has done an amazing job with the posters at Tyabb, particularly considering he only started selling movie posters not that long ago.

    It was, the flowers and chocolates he got me was a little much, but made me feel quite special nonetheless.

    Well, I better put that New York daybill back in the draw then...

    When I pointed out the Disney section, it was like watching a bulldozer plough through a forest of people. Lucky I had first aid training.

    It was a great day. Lots of laughs and stories told. Next time we'll organise a group session....chicks included.

    I thought Matt and I were getting a room together?  That didn't take long for his eyes to start to wander.  Is it because I don't have a Lady from Shanghai daybill?  :s

    That said - male to male marriage is all the rage here in Canada - just bring your daybills and drop them off here first and I will find a nice venue for you GUYS

    There were plenty of geeks at the AMC expo in Melbourne. Four of which were from this forum. (including me )

  • DavidDavid
    Which one of these people were you?













  • MattMatt
    You'll never find out which costume I was wearing...
  • SvenSven
    Wow looks like fun!! Nice stand full of daybills. Can i ask the price of Dr no and Frankenstein vs wolf man? 
  • DavidDavid
    They were simply copies, effectively to show the posters he would like to buy.
