Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by jonti1 on Dec 11, 2010 5:15:15 GMT 1, Ive just got home as it got to 2.30 and i think i was 15 places further back than when i started in the queue. I cant believe for a Banksy print release POW cant organise a system to ensure those there at the beginning are still in the same place in the morning. BRP took photo's and issued tickets up until 1am for Nick Walker LTS print which ensured those that had got there early didnt get pushed aside by late arrivers.
Good luck to all those in the queue and those outside of the 200 as your more optimistic than i was, i recon i was about 240 and in the end enough was enough.
Hope you all get what your after.

Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by recycle on Dec 11, 2010 6:08:45 GMT 1, I know art can be a passionate thing, but when it gets to the stage where people are going to get hurt it's time to call it a night.
I was about 150 in the queue in Soho where i would probably have got one, ended up being about 220 in the queue at Commercial st where i wouldn't have got one, on top of you throw in a group of aggressive queue jumpers (which i would not have put up with) it turned it into a camplete farce. It would not suprise me if there has been a fight and the police have been called as mentioned in a pervious post.
I personally this this should have been better organised and in my opinion if anyone gets hurt tonight i personally think both POW and Banksy are at fault.
Last year was fun, this year is a nightmare!
For those of you in the queue it was 110 up to the corner, when we decided to call it a day we had a one last proper count up, we also worked out roughly that if you were past the white van (150ish) you had zero chance because of all the queue jumpers.
Good luck to you guys out there you really need it on this one, i personally won't be with you as i value both my sanity and safety more, Big Love!

That would be pretty foxy of them. 4.5 hours to go. Hold that line down. bring f'n crime scene tape. make your security.

They have been doing this for a long time, this is nothing new. The expense of those 3 things in minuscule compared to the profit they will make in the next 96 hours (Banksy donated his share, not them). When money into the thousands of dollars comes into play people will get violent if there is no security. Really a shame considering there solid past track record. Unfortunately a lot of people are going to be cold and disappointed in a few hrs. (Unless theres an unsigned unlimited run that they didn't promote, but I would still be mad not to get one with a signature if I waited in the cold) Hopefully this is only a 1 time thing and they learn from there mistake. Also because Im sure it will be brought up, maybe this was a rush rls due to people lining up at the other store and that is the excuse for not being prepared with security and what not...but thats garbage, in a major city like London you can get a few security guys as fast as you can dial a number.
