Man, if I lived in the area, I'd be camped out too. Hah, I don't think many posters are going to be left over for an online sale, unless Mondo is planning on setting aside a certain amount.
I can't wait to see what they've come up with. I'm still hoping that we'll some day get an Aliens print by Stout.

Oh man, if Tyler Stout did an Aliens print with Ripley and all the Colonial Marines, I don't care if it cost me $400 off ebay, I would pay it in an instant.

I went to my first Mondo Gallery opening on Friday. I didn't know what to expect. I've only ever been days after the opening.
To say it went my way would be a heinous lie. I got there roughly 30 minutes before opening because I was in Austin to support a friend's film debut and we went to the gallery immediately following that. I was in a line 2 blocks long. After 3.5 hours, the line had moved 15 feet.
I'm not local to Austin, but I had friends partying at the Parlor, a bar only two blocks away. They came and hung with me in line and we partied on the sidewalk for a good while. It was around the 3 hour mark when a rep from Mondo told us they were only allowing 6 people in the gallery every half hour and it would be at least another 7 hours at that rate before we got in which would be 5 am. I decided to give up my spot in line and go party with them at the Parlor, get some dinner and catch the last band.
I don't care about the art or artist first. I have to care about the film. The only posters I wanted because the films were killer were the Metropolis poster and the Watchmen poster. If the AWIL poster had been more interesting, I would have thought of acquiring it, but I was bored by the choice of subject matter for it.
After the bar closed, I went back to the line. I saw the guy I was standing behind was still a hundred feet from the door of the gallery with at least 70 people in front of him. One of my friends said they'd go to the gallery the next day to see if the prints were still available and I left.
I might go to another one, but that was the most mismanaged event I've ever been to. If someone from the gallery had worked the line with a cellphone and a Square card reader and brought me the posters without all the hassle, I'd have happily bought them based on online photos only without ever stepping foot in the gallery. If I do go to another one, I'm getting a cooler on wheels and folding chairs and whatever else I need for the full tailgating scenario so I can stand to be in the line for what amounts to a staggeringly ridiculous wait time.
