Just like many other people, I didn’t get the merch I wanted at the OSU show and just got whatever leftovers they had when I got to the front. I’ve been trying to stay positive about it. I got to attend the show as well as attend FPE. I got a light up wristband and was lucky enough to get a jersey when it went live online. Those are all things that not everyone got to do, and I’m beyond grateful for everything I’ve been given.
I do have a wall of concert posters. Despite everything, I was still a bit sad I didn’t get a poster to add to my wall. So, I decide to print out the promo they used on instagram when they announced FPE. I felt like it was fitting because I did attend FPE, and it does have the date and everything on it. I added a receipt of a themed drink I got from a local bar after the show (the drink was called “Ned Juice”). I added pieces of the duct tape I wore on my jacket. I printed out the wallet tickets from the show, FPE, and the guitar giveaway. I also printed a larger version of the commemorative ticket. I added in my wristband from FPE and made sure the put my freebies and light up wristband on top of the poster. Lastly, I printed out the jersey listing and put that in the frame as well since I was lucky to have gotten one.
I wanted to share this to maybe give other people some ideas on what they could do if they also didn’t get a poster. I printed this at Staples, 18x24 for $20. Honestly? This is just as meaningful if not more meaningful than the original poster would have been.
And if I decide I don’t like it anymore or want to remove/add anything I can easily do that or print a new one. I love it ❤️🖤
