Exciting news (well, to us anyway)! Added a missing poster to the database for the 9/14/96 Showbox show by Shawn Wolfe...a tremendous thank-you to Bowman and Andy (er code blue). Also added a note for the 7/3/98 concerning the venue misspelling to the database.

Added the New Zealand Vs promo poster, the Limelight 4/12/92 show promo poster, and corrected the notes for the "Slam Jam" Vs promo poster.

Okay, this time, we are happy to announce the winner of the last Karma giveaway...the answers and the winner can be seen here (barring any disputes again of course). We also are working on the next giveaway as well, and it should be up any day now.
Cameron also has the Naked Eye backstage pass section completely up and running now. Check it out, it is very informative!

Laid out the groundwork for a new section of the site devoted entirely to backstage passes, which is entitled "Naked Eye"! This section is still "under construction" at the moment, and it is completely the work of Cameron O'Connor from Australia, being both a collector and very knowledgable about these passes...thanks so much to Cameron! :)

We are still working with Peter and Len on some clarification of the answers to some questions...we will post the results to the Karma giveaway and start the next one as soon as possible (the next one has some audio questions!).

Ames has their new website completely up and running now!
"Hello friends and loyal customers.
Ames has been working over the last year to bring to you a new, easier way to purchase the posters you love and need. Big Pop Posters is the scratch for your itch. Right now, you can purchase all of the Ames posters we have in stock. And look forward to new posters & designers we'll be bringing on board as we get things rolling.
As a special thank you to the people who have made purchases from Ames Poster Sales in the past, we would like to offer you a 20% DISCOUNT on your first order (go hog wild and make it count...there's no limit). Your name is in a database if you have ordered from us in the past. Enter AMESCREW in the Comment field when you check out (make sure the name you enter in the Name field is the same name you used to order from Ames). If you don't see the discount apply, contact us at 1-206-633-3059. Remember, this is for those of you who have ordered from us before.
Keep in mind, it's still the same couple of guys running the show here, so we haven't sold out yet.
Thanks for everything.
Coby, Mark, and Barry.
Ames Crew / Big Pop Crew
Get out your plastic and go to town: http://bigpopposters.com/"
We assume this means the end of the emailed pricelists from Ames (but we will make sure). Go get 'em!

Added some more better poster scans to the database : Seattle '96, Hartford '96, Ft. Lauderdale '96 (Getz), Rome '96 (Locchi), East Block '00, Boston '00, Texas '00, Philly '00, and Vegas '00.

Added improved pictures for the Kozik '91 and Ames New Orleans '95, Maui '98, UK '00, Holland '00, East Block '00 (limited edition), Virginia Beach '00, and New York '00 posters to the database.
Posted Saturday, December 1, 2001
Made some changes to the board (some bugfixes and changed some graphics a little).
Posted Friday, November 30, 2001
These updates were performed today:
Upgraded the scan for the 4/28/88 vintage poster.
Added the Ten "Debut" poster to the Ten promo section.
Moved the "Dive" promo poster from the Vs promo section to the Ten promo section.
Gave art design credit for the 10/22/00 BGP poster on the database page.
Added a beware note for the Kozik '92 posters concerning the foldout edition that originally appeared in a magazine on the database page.
Posted Thursday, November 29, 2001
Added some posters:
"Ten" (tan) poster to Ten promo section.
"Slam Jam" Jeff/Shawn Kemp poster to Vs promo section.
5/1/01 Seattle DVD Premiere poster to show promos section.
"Sketch" poster to the hoax section.
Kozik 12/8/91 newspaper advertisement linked from database.
Also, we would like to add that the "Did Ed work for MTV?" question is being debated for the last Karma giveaway. Well, it has been pointed out that on Synergy it says that Ed never did, which goes against our answer. Well, since Synergy is the official source, what we decided to do that was most fair was to throw out that particular question, and see what happens. So we will update the Karma page and the answer page with the new results.
...........
We now have gone over the answers again for the Karma contest, and we now have a tie between Peter Ten Eyck and Len White. So, we are having a standoff between those two. Go to this page for the questions and results.
Posted Wednesday, November 28, 2001
We FINALLY have the winner posted of the last Karma giveaway...the answers and the winner can be seen here.
Posted Monday, November 19, 2001
The second Karma giveaway is officially over...give us just a few days to tabulate the results and post the winner. Thanks for everyone who submitted answers.
Sorry for the lack of updates for the past couple of weeks. It seemed like a good time to "take a break" from the site. We have some things we want to get done before the end of the year, like completing the promo sections, updating the board (again), and improving some of the pics on the site. Also, we are working on a "master list" which will cross-reference every poster on the site, to help people who are looking for something specific, and don't want to look at each page.
Posted Tuesday, October 30, 2001
Added a new value update to the database.
Posted Sunday, October 28, 2001
Added some promo posters:
Added "Dive" two-sided poster to the Vs promo section.
Added "Immortality" two-sided flat and the back side of the "Vitalogy" flat to the Vitalogy promo section.
Added the 2001 Bridge School poster to the show promos section.
The "No Code" section should be done very soon as well.
