Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by cannaebefannied on Nov 26, 2007 10:08:30 GMT 1, I heard it was in Edinburgh, actually I dreamt it was in Edinburgh, Sad barsteward having dreams about SG, looks like being the night bus down to London again, 9 hours on a bus that stinks of piss, sitting next to a fat burd that thinks she's paid for half my seat too, no fags no sleep and get there to find I've either missed or can't afford the stuff I'd like !

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by yapsey on Nov 26, 2007 11:10:13 GMT 1, Last year it was open to within a few days of christmas eve, the opening day had nothing special to offer and was packed, releases were spread across the month pretty randomly with little or no notice, they did start to write a list on the blackboard but without dates, eventually they put some dates up, sometimes the dates were only announced with a few days notice. Luckily they announced the Banksy Flag details so I made the trip but it was in the back of my mind that I could have got there only to be told it had been changed. The Banksy Flag was released on Dec 18th and the doors opened early at 9:00 for that day ( I think normal opening was between 10:00 & 11;00am), according to the till and credit card receipts I finally made my purchase at 10:00 or 10:11 depending which receipt had the most accurate time on it.
how long did you have to wait for last year?? - i take it it's a sleeping bag and overnight job??...

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by Mrs Mouse on Nov 26, 2007 12:34:00 GMT 1, I drove up to London at 5am for the Flag release last year. Arrived at the Ghetto at about 9am and queued for about an hour. The queue was very civilised, no pushing or bad feeling - just an overwhelming sense of nervous anticipation! Plenty of Flag prints available - they didn't run out for a few hours.
It would be nice if things worked out the same again this year, but somehow I doubt it!
If anyone's thinking of going this year, my advice would be - just enjoy the experience of being there, expect to come home with nothing, and if you do manage to pick up what you wanted then view it as a bonus.

I took an early train into London, and eventually got to the queue at 9am (same as you) and yes one hour later had the print in hand, the experience wasn't unpleasant at all, got chatting with a fellow queuer (non forum member) and held his place while he got a coffeee the queue was well managed and moved quickly.
I would advise people to take cash as when we got inside they formed two queues one for cash and one for cards, the cash queue moved much quicker so people way behind me in the queue were being served before me, this could have made all the difference if they were down to the last few prints.

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by ®at on Nov 26, 2007 14:32:15 GMT 1, Last yr I got the morning flight from NY .... went pretty much straight to oxford street when I landed at heathrow- certainly no sleep....
Got there sometime around 1 or 2am. 10th in line....
Cold, cold, lots of talking, and more cold.
Wasnt that bad. Except for the cold. And that was with 2 jackets, 2 pairs of gloves, and 2 hats on. Thermal underwear this year.
Nice story behind the flag print on my wall though......and the free 'when i grow up..' mini print thing and the bonus blair photo op print were nice extras for being at the front... well worth looking like a tramp for the nite.
Will do it all again this year too...... ;D

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by waveydavey on Nov 26, 2007 15:21:50 GMT 1, Last year I asked my boss if I could have an hour off. There was hardly any queue when I got there and I had print in hand in fifteen minutes.
I'm thinking it won't be the same this year.

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by Tyler Durden on Nov 26, 2007 18:48:19 GMT 1, I'm just looking forward to going and checking out some quality art for art's sake. If there is a Banksy then get yourself to the cake shop as there's gonna be one hell of a bunfight this time around.

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by Nuno on Nov 26, 2007 19:39:15 GMT 1, Was browsing the beat13 website, and came across a picture of Maclauchlan's work on display, the picture was labelled:
'Santa's Ghetto'
Oxford St, London
2007
Is this a give away as to where it is this year, or am i barking up the wrong tree?

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by Nuno on Nov 26, 2007 20:57:00 GMT 1, yes thats the pic, just seems odd that its labelled 2007 if it was the 06 ghetto? And as its only 7/8 days away do you think that some of the 'stands' will be already up (ie, like in the pic)?

Think it was in the same room as the Michael Jackson painting?
Which reminds me- that Banksy simply blew my mind. Sheer genius. ;D That is what the Ghetto is all about.

Yes I think it was in a kind of corridor that went off that room and behind the till area.

i seem to remember that last year the address was revealed the night before it opened, so i would not hold your breath.
