Phantom Billstickers, San Francisco Poetry Poster Run by Jim Wilson. August 13th and 14th 2011.

This was to be my final poster run before leaving the USA on my way back to New Zealand.  I'm writing this some months afterwards and so I can't even remember which poem posters I was carrying, but there would have been about ten different Kiwi poets involved and two or three Americans.

Phantom Billstickers Poster Run, South Philadelphia, May 30th.

We drove into Philly early in the morning of Memorial Day. There were not a lot of people around and it was very peaceful and quiet. This always sets the tone for a good poster run. Later in the day it would get to be 95 degrees (Fahrenheit), but at just after 8am it was around 70 degrees - so it was relatively cool work and it was unhurried. The people you run into on a poster run are usually very friendly and they well understand what you are doing. It is just normal stuff to them.

We took off for New Orleans on Boxing Day...Americans don't have Boxing Day really... they tend to want to gravitate to the malls so that the whole shebang can start up again.   Straight after Xmas they are selling Valentine's Day products.
