Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by sausageboonwee on Nov 23, 2007 21:12:18 GMT 1, I should imagine this year there will be families snapping up prints, protection rackets, fights, shirty staff etc..
I think so many people are clued up to the 'rewards' the Ghetto can bring it just doesn't stand a chance.

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by ABC on Nov 23, 2007 21:23:28 GMT 1, Okay - Sorry to appear stupid, but being foreign to your shores can someone please explain the whole affair? It almost sounds tempting enough to arrange a business trip around... ;D ;D POW open up a shop / exhibition for the run up to crimbo, showing artists work in the flesh with some new or unique pieces on show along with a shop / counter selling POW prints, and releasing new prints by various artists through the month, last years Ghetto saw the release of insects dead rebels, Banksy - flags ( exclusive to the ghetto), micallef JD and FF, kennard pics, etc... Some nice pieces. What used to be a quiet affair for like minded art fans turned into a chaotic near riot last year with increased exposure to banksy's ( and other artists) work. We know a voucher, blu, faile, 2 banksys are duefor release at some point, rumour of a new hewlett have abbounded since last year. It'll be messy.
It was actually quite calm last year, no fighting, just large queues. Im not so sure the same can be said about SG this year though.

You see silky pan the camera to the right of the ghetto, the queue for Banksy's Flag print went pretty much as far as you can see in that direction ;D
This year they'll need a street longer than Oxford St

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by dotdot on Nov 23, 2007 21:28:19 GMT 1, There certainly was an amount of randomness about last
year's ghetto - ideal for those living or working nearby
and tricky if you wanted to turn up and pickup.
Artists last year released different prints on different days - so
it was all a bit of a lucky dip.(look at the board!)
Missed out on the mic/JD - ended up getting one off the ebay.
Picked up a Flag - so all wasn't lost
if my memory serves me right cbl made a trip of it...
wasn't it on the telly !!! / in the paper it certainly was.
let's see how does....
Sale Ends - on sale only in the last hour of the Last Day sound....
stranger things have happened...
could be cool....

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by corblimeylimey on Nov 23, 2007 21:32:26 GMT 1, Yep I made the effort to get in the Banksy queue, it paid off, and I got to the queue at about 9:00am and I think about 500 were in front of me, and about 200 behind me, I won't be making a similar effort this year as it's bound to be a waste of time unless you live in London to get there early enough or stay up in a queue all night.

No.
I was trying to find the old threads on last years ghetto, but there's been such an explosion of threads here over the last year, it seems the records don't go back far enough.

Here's a post I made way back in the mists of time describing how I got it - and also giving an example of the magic Ju-Ju you need to get something you want from SG....
