The Blackstar Gig thread
All your ideas for Blackstar related gig memes please, let's confuse the hell out of James.

I love this gig?
Show us your Blackstar?
Posters of it?

I've said it all along, but: cardboard cutouts.

Uh those are sort of expensive though (did I look into making one? ...maybe) so, failing that, an "I LOVE THIS AMP" banner. Or paper masks of James' face.

Take your favourite version of the Blackstar ad and get James to sign it. Through the whole tour he'll just be recieving all these weird things to sign with his face on.

Does anyone own one of the amps they fancy taking to a gig just to show to Bradders and see him freeze and his face morph into the one from the advert? I'd die laughing....smirking to myself now actually
I keep wanting to make a t-shirt with one of the most excellent images from the Blackstar thread but I don't know if I should.

I'm definitely doing Lowri's suggestion and I might make an 'I love this amp' poster, shame about the cutouts, anyone really rich want to buy us all one?

I'm defo shouting out "BLACKSTAR!" at the gig for a chuckle. Nobody will probably get it but I'll laugh to myself.

They should come on to 'and now the star everyone's been talking about' and ride on on a wheeled Blackstar.

If Sean is reading, get it sorted mate!

I'm not able to afford to go to any of the gigs this tour, but I'd be forever grateful if someone would pleeeeeeease take my Indiana Jones poster that I did and get James to sign it

Here it is again, save anyone trawling through the Blackstar thread:

I'd happily do it though it'd be hard to get it to you.

I've been mulling over the idea of doing something for a while. My thinking was, accumulate a hundred of the best pictures, print them out, stuff them into an envelope, and throw it to Nicky during the band introductions part of the Edinburgh gig. What d'you all reckon, good idea? And which ones should I do if we go ahead with it?

Do it, and your choice of which ones, make sure it's a pretty envelope and all.
