21 Flags left 
SO HURRY UP and get on out there before they are all snapped up.
Seriously if you were thinking of going and thought
Oh they'll never have any prints left don't be disheartened they do
21 Flag prints left
So who's going this week?
Just think a Flag and a great experience getting it  as well as contributing to a great charity
So come on, I know a few of you were thinking about going still when I met some of you on Friday. ;D

21 FLAGS LEFT AT SANTA'S GHETTO, by foreman on Dec 17, 2007 10:11:37 GMT 1, i was there on saturday and got a flags in the mid 70's ... there are 112 i think... or maybe it was 118. i dunno... but if they were going in numerical order that would mean there were about 40 left... i didnt really ask though.

No extremely unlikely
The whole idea is that you get out there and get one.
My friend arrived back yesterday and said that on Sunday there were defiantly only 21 left.
So anyone planning on going this week would love to know.

21 FLAGS LEFT AT SANTA'S GHETTO, by Mrs Mouse on Dec 17, 2007 11:22:07 GMT 1, I'm really really tempted but I think my husband would have a fit if I said "I'm just popping over to Bethlehem, darling. Back in a day or two". He thought I was mad when I went to London at 4am for last year's Flag release at the Ghetto!
Good luck to anyone that manages to get out here.

If it wasn't for my pesky kids (no, I do love them really) I would have gone to Bethlehem. Absolutely sure of it. I think it's great that some have, hats off to them. You can tell it's been an awesome experience.

We had a taxi driver that used to be a BBC war correspondant and the stoories he could tell could curdle milk, he took us all over the place for a very good price & was visibly upset when we found the Donkey being I.D'd had been painted over. Anyone going out who'd like a top guide, PM me and I'll give you his details.

21 FLAGS LEFT AT SANTA'S GHETTO, by craigf on Dec 17, 2007 13:49:17 GMT 1, I heard back from a friend last night and they confirmed a similar number still remaining. I assume the Trollies sold out a long time ago. I think it is great that there are still prints available for ppl who have the time and resources to take the trip as they will also have a pretty special momento in the new year ;D

21 FLAGS LEFT AT SANTA'S GHETTO, by 'bric on Dec 17, 2007 14:22:39 GMT 1, I am going there on Saturday. Had resigned myself to the fact that I wouldn't be able to get a flag print.
Fingers crossed there might still be one left for me

21 FLAGS LEFT AT SANTA'S GHETTO, by cityman on Dec 17, 2007 14:56:31 GMT 1, perhaps the just print off more lol
i suspect they may be offered al alternative to Flags - would seem a fair exchange.
mine is in the 80s which was bought on Saturday.

I think what may have been meant allowing only One per person or couple maybe ie married couples.
Well I am sure all those going this week stand a good chance of getting one
Good luck everyone and as has been said the place and experience are worth going for let alone the chance of a print

In a word, yes. They will have some available everyday so as to give people who make the trip an equal chance of getting one.... I think it makes sense. There's never a deluge of visitors. The most we saw in there were around half a dozen of us.... And quite a few people swan over with no intention of buying anything.

That Swoon is phenomonal as are the Blu pieces. That's my favourite part of checking out the SG site-- seeing what else is up on the wall. sweet!

agree I wish I had seen more of the wall BUT all this great stuff was not up there when I went I just looked at the dam thing in all it's nakedness the Ugly Grey Beast that it ws and IS 
This is one of the good things about going this week great art in and out of the Ghetto.
Also as I've said before spend some money there the people need the tourists
have you seen the new pics on the site? or has someone already mentioned it

21 FLAGS LEFT AT SANTA'S GHETTO, by ยฎat on Dec 17, 2007 15:35:31 GMT 1, I can highly recommend paying the $20/person for the driver to take you round the wall. He will stop anywhere you like, point out all the pieces, and follow you if there are parts you want to walk on foot (the long part by the refuge camp with the escalator on for example..walk down that bit... ).
Ask at the ghetto and they will sort a driver out for you.
Supposed to take 40 mins- we took nearer 90..
You cant comprehend the sheer size and prescence of the wall without being next to it..

21 FLAGS LEFT AT SANTA'S GHETTO, by ejvaze on Dec 17, 2007 20:37:47 GMT 1, I wonder if after today there will be any of these Flag Prints left at the weekend
However after reading several posts today which discuss this and other Ghetto print prices and then Oh the joy of getting the latest Banksy release
I am brought back down to earth by the new photos on the Ghetto Wall site which to me are really moving.
I like these photos not for the superb art they show but because they put the wall and the art in more context to it's surroundings that the past pictures have.
You get more of a feel of the place rather than just the art on the wall.
They seem to sum up what it's all about, kids playing in the shadow of the wall under the watchful eye of the trigger happy guards, some only just out of school.
Some on the forum today have discussed this flag print as a must have, well I don't blame them really I don't. It is a super print, but mine will never appear for sale as it is a reminder as if I needed it of my trip.
However I strongly urge you to think about going to Bethlehem and if you can take the trip and bag yourself a reminder too, do it. Just look at those happy kids playing in the dirt in the pictures and then think you'll have a trip of a lifetime, they, well they, have to stay there and live as best they can and just maybe your flag print purchase could help a few of them have a better chance in life in some way or another.
Aren't we and our kids lucky.
Sorry this is a MANS forum and maybe I am bringing a female perspective into it, I am sorry.

A female perspective is always welcome Vazie, especially when it's put like this.
Good to meet you and your husband on Friday.

Life is about diversity and this forum shouldn't replicate an old boys club ;D
I hope the pictures on the walls remain for some time so people can visit after the Ghetto and still enjoy the art and experience

I've already got one so I'm not in the market. It'll be my memento.
