Variant Cover

The best way to frame it so it lasts (even in a frame, paper can deteriate -unless you do this->) is to make sure you have it professionally done. Use uv glass, acid free mat, acid free backing paper and if you use a metal frame you are okay but if it's wood make sure they line any edges of the wood that may touch the print with acid free framers tape. One place I know who does this and they do a good job is Michaels Arts and Crafts. It's a chain but they do a really good job. I used to work at one. It costs a lot more than buying a frame at Wal-mart but at least it will protect your Lithograph. I still need to get mine framed.

At Michaels, really? I live about 10 mins from one. I go there to buy art stuff like sketchbooka and all that.

Almost every week Michaels puts a flier with a couple of coupons in the Sunday Paper. There is always one for the framing department. Sometimes it's 50% off just the frame but sometimes it's 50%off your entire framing order. The only drawback to going to Michaels is that you have to pay for it up front which I think is crazy. We used to have customers that would complain about it. But if you don't like it they'll fix it until you do.

If I went to check it out or if my Mike's even does that, I'd have to check the weekend after next. This weekend (actually today) I'm driving up to Atlanta for Projekt Revolution which is tomorrow, and next weekend I'm having a few buddies stay over as a late bithday party for me. I've got a job now since summer stared and I don't get to see them that much. Sad

But it should be fun! Very Happy

Oh cool, have fun. I went to Projekt Revolution in Atlanta last year. And damn it was freakin hot. But we had 4th row in the covered seating with fans so it wasn't so bad. I would have died from the heat if I had been in the pit. All those sweaty bodies up against each other. Yuck!

That's the best part!!! Alas, I have lwn tix, AGAIN. FYI, my Mom doesn't know how to plan, because she said she'd get me a pit ticket and when sh went to buy one they were sold out. Sad

But I won't let that spoil my fun. Very Happy

I'm uber-excited and can't wait and we're going to Dave and Busters which there have been rumors of one opening up in my town soon. Smile

If there's a conmputer at the hotel like there was last time, I'll pop in and say hello to all of you, though it's usually just me and you havign conversations.

BYE!!

It's one thing being in a pit, but it's another when your in a pit, outside, burning sun in Atlanta, Georgia, 90-something degree heat, humidity felt like 100%. I was glad to have the covering over with the fans and a seat to sit in. Before the show I bought the art book and two MCR t-shirts and then after the show I bought a MCR hoodie and MCR poster. It sucked carrying that stuff around.

It's funny how this thread started out talking about variant covers and then we hijacked it and now it's about Projekt Revolution.

My god, you're right! We're like the al Queda of the Umbrella Brats!

Ohsnos! Imagoodguy. But yeah the show was good. I was actually there last year as well. I was the one walking around in the heat in my MCR jacket, in total Black Parade style. My god it was hot that day. I threw up right before I met Linin Park due to dehydration. The dehydrated state I was in was not my fault, with water being $4 a bottle! Mad

But the show was good. Linkin Park was alright, but there show last year was much better. I was glad Atreyu was playing on the Revolution stage, so I was able to get right up against the barrier, but I missed their signing after. Sad

They put on a good show, though, like always.

You threw up???? Yikes. Did you have time to do it in the bathroom or was it in front of a crowd of people?

No I didn't get to a bathroom. I was on the other side of the Theater. I was in line with everyone else who won passes. I just knew it was coming so I went by a tree and spewed. Gross, I know. But yeah, I wouldn't have made it halfway to the bathroom.

You know, I am part of the Linkin Park fan club and I won a pass too but my friend didn't so I didn't go to the meet & greet. Now I am really glad I didn't. If I had seen someone throw up I would have too...lol. I felt bad that I didn't go because that was a pass wasted.

the M & G wasn't great, just a quik hand shake and signed and then bam, it was over. Sorry about the messy writing. I'm in a rush, cause I have to go to sleep in a couple of minutes and then I have work tomorrow. Razz

Also, I didn't come on today, because the comps at my workplace were just blahh. Sorry, and thanks for the admin offer Spooky!!
