University City, Philadelphia - Poster Run

By: Jim Wilson | 10 March, 2010
It's a beautiful day in New Jersey and the temperature promises to get up to 15 degrees Celsius. The official first day of spring is about two weeks away. On the streets here this morning, I met a guy wearing a sweatshirt with 'Wanganui' across the back (he was an American) and that felt real good. I got on to a conversation about Michael Laws.

Plywood Chair Street Posters

By: Bob Phantom | 9 March, 2010

Move over Ikea. JWT Auckland have brought flat pack furniture to the people in the form of these plywood street posters for Kit Kat. They're flat pack chairs made from ply that punters can pull off and assemble. Placed on route to summer gigs and at entrances to parks and public spaces they give punters an opportunity to take a break in an unconventional place.

Phantom Billstickers installed Kit Kat plywood street posters for JWT Auckland on our high profile sites throughout the city of sails.

Princeton, New Jersey Poster Run. March 5th 2010

By: Jim Wilson | 8 March, 2010

There was a break in the weather after basically a month of snow and rain. We just don't get snow like that in New Zealand (a foot at a time), and it's kind of difficult to imagine and to get used to. It would be like trying to drive over the Southern Alps. That way you can imagine it. The streets looked like the Himalayas and after a while you get crazy to do a poster run.

It's been one helluva fest! Awards now named

By: Bob Phantom | 8 March, 2010

The last New Zealand Fringe Festival ended with a question mark over its head about whether it would continue. It did, it rocked, and it will continue. Now Fringe 2010 has ended with a glorious bag with the naming of the best of all there is in 2010 and a new inductee for the Fringe Hall of Fame.

Northern Liberties/Fishtown Philadelphia Poster Run for New Zealand Poets.

By: Jim Wilson | 26 February, 2010

This poster run happened in about mid February and I had the able assistance of Brian Howard who is the editor of the Philadelphia Citypaper www.citypaper.net Brian is a fan of New Zealand music and we had made contact because of this. He had seen 'The Clean' play in Philadelphia and was immediately impressed. We all are fans of 'The Clean' and will forever be. Brian had also highly rated the Chris Knox 'Stroke' album in the newspaper and this gladdened my heart. He cited that album as being one of 2009's best. We can't be fairer than that.

Baltimore Poster Run

By: Jim Wilson | 23 February, 2010

This poster run happened on Waitangi Day weekend. The Phantom crew did the run on the Sunday morning in temperatures of 18 degrees Fahrenheit (32 is freezing). We carried posters by Jay Clarkson, Sandra Bell, Michele Leggott, Janet Frame and others. I always try to have a Janet Frame Poem Poster nearby.

We attracted lots of good attention and made some strong contacts within the Baltimore Poetry Scene. Nothing seems to break the ice like putting up Poetry Posters. People always seem to relate to a Poem. Discussion always opens up.

Manhattan New Zealand Poets Poster Run December 2009

By: Jim Wilson | 18 February, 2010

This small poster run of about fifty posters happened after a Phantom Billstickers delegation met with the good people from the Poetry Society of America. From memory, most of the posters were of Brian Turner's fine poem "Keep it Up." I just found it good fun to be out with a staple gun.
