    I have so much invested in frames I spent a lot of time researched DIY solutions since I was going broke framing everything.

    All my my DMB tour posters are in clip frames. Basically a frame-less frame. I like it that way, more subtle without anything taking away from the poster itself. Not to mention no single color / mat would match every poster and they are all lined up on the wall so I didn't want 20+ different styles. This way they all match.

    To keep with the minimalist theme for the N2 Chicago, I just ordered a simple aluminum single color frame with no mat.

    I've spent way too much on frames too, I tend to enjoy larger frames though. The frameless look would be nice for this poster though. All my frames are mismatched, which I quite like. Though I do hope to find two of the same frames for the Chicago poster, but in different sizes of course.

    My main problem is finding room on my wall now.

    No doubt, we might finish our basement just for more wall space.

    I actually received my N2 poster yesterday, but my N1 order seems to be f-ed up. It had a working tracking number, but now that number is no longer recognized by either UPS or USPS. It's making me nervous. I've already e-mailed WH about it.

    Was wondering what size frame you plan to get for n1? And if you do matting for your posters? Been doing custom framing for years but need to cut costs so going to start doing them myself

    I have no confirmation that it has shipped yet, but did have a confirmation of the order and when I go into warehouse order history it is not there. I will be pissed if I do not get my order.

    I am thinking of matting N1 to get it to match the size of N2. I cut my own mat to safe tons of money on custom framing. I think the cutter I got only cost $50ish dollars, but it has saved me so much more than that.

    Now that I think about it, matting the 18x24 to a 24x36 frame may be way too much mat, I'll probably actually put it in a 20x30 frame.

    Sorry didn't notice that initially. Original Twitter link doesnt require sign in for some reason. Won't let me copy and paste from my phone. I will try later.

    The article basically says the head of Alpine told Live Nation they need camping and want to make it more of a destination instead of leave that day after the concert. He mentioned how few concerts they have this year. They need some zoning changes to make it happen. Article is dated 7/18.

    Here you go:


    Quote:
    EAST TROY—The operator of Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy is considering ways to bring in thousands of camping concert goers, a Walworth County official said.

    Michael Cotter, director of the county land use and resource management department, met with Live Nation representatives two weeks ago to discuss how Alpine Valley, W2699 County D, could compete with other entertainment venues.

    Last week, one of only three artists booked at Alpine Valley this summer dropped the venue.

    Representatives want to make the venue more of a destination than a place where people arrive and leave the same day of a concert, Cotter said.

    National music festival names such as Bonnaroo in Tennessee and Coachella in California were thrown around in the conversation two weeks ago, Cotter said.

    Think Jimmy Buffett tailgates but with tents and overnight.

    “I don't want to alarm people and have them think Coachella is coming to Alpine Valley,” Cotter said. “We're a long way from that.”

    The idea of adjusting zoning regulations to allow for something like the camping situations at other music festivals was talked about at length, Cotter said, but Live Nation has not taken any steps to make it happen since the conversation.

    Camping isn't a new idea for Alpine Valley.

    On Feb. 17, 2011, the county approved a conditional use permit that allowed up to 450 campers on 75 sites at the venue. Because Live Nation didn't use the permit within three years, it expired in February 2014. Representatives said it wasn't cost effective to try camping under the conditions imposed by the county, Cotter said.

    Mark Campana, co-president of Live Nation's North America concerts, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in May that camping could be a “game changer” for the venue and expand the two to three shows a year to as many as 10.

    But Campana told the Journal Sentinel the community is wary of campers because of previous incidents of fans camping in people's backyards and parking in the middle of the road.

    The county's conversation with Live Nation came shortly before the Under the Influence of Music Tour featuring hip-hop artists Wiz Khalifa, Young Jeezy and more all-star artists canceled its Aug. 9 performance at Alpine Valley. The reason given was “unforeseen circumstances with production,” according to Live Nation.

    The North American tour kicks off July 24 in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and ends Aug. 24 in Irvine, California.

    The string of hip-hop artists still plan to take the stage Aug. 5 at Tinley Park in Chicago.

    Rapper Tyga, one the tour's main performers, announced via Twitter that he was no longer going to be a part of the tour because he's finishing up his album and a movie he's filming.

    The Gazette was not able to reach Live Nation representatives for comment.

    Alpine Valley has hosted such performers as the Grateful Dead, the Rolling Stones, Pearl Jam and Coldplay but has seen a dwindling number of performers over the years.

    This summer, only three shows--including Under the Influence tour--were booked, all for August. Remaining are the annual Jimmy Buffett concert Aug. 23 and KISS and Def Leppard on Aug. 15.

    Last year, three artists--Dave Matthews Band, Zac Brown Band and Jimmy Buffett--performed, according to the venue's Live Nation webpage.

    For Live Nation to be allowed to have more campers and extend hours of operations and host events such as Bonnaroo, the promoter would need several changes in town and county permits and zoning and event permission, Cotter said.

    The amphitheater and surrounding lawn seating can accommodate about 35,000 people. Until 1993, Alpine Valley was the largest theater in the United States, according to an Alpine Valley website run by fans.

    Cotter recalled attending the Monsters of Rock Tour in 1988. In the three-day kickoff at Alpine, Van Halen, Metallica and other rockers performed and MTV broadcasted live, Cotter said.

    “In the '80s and '90s, that was the place,” Cotter said. “They kicked off huge concert tours at Alpine.”

    Refunds for the Under the Influence show at Alpine Valley are available at the point of purchase. Call Ticketmaster at 800-653-8000 for assistance.

    Called music today today about the status of my my poster ordered from warehouse for night 2. Last week they said they were backordered. Today the same thing except with the phrase of it might not be restocked. This is the biggest load of BS. Music today will be getting me a poster no matter what. Even if they have to buy one off eBay for me.

    That sucks!!! Especially when they had plenty in stock at the show when we arrive around 7PM (well after the "sell-out" time for N1).

    On the bright side, the N2 posters are not selling anywhere near what N1 posters are going for on eBay.

    Note to self: Even if I score an online pre-order, still buy one at the venue just in case.
