Does anyone know anything about a possible SG this year? Also, for those of you who've been there, what's the experience like? Is it a total clusterf@ck? Is it possible to get anything without lining up for days?

[lastpost]

I don't know about this year.
Last year, when I went it was ok. Not too busy, easy to look at what you wanted.
I somehow think that if it happens this year then it will be a completely different story!!

There have been 5. There first 4 were calm, enjoyable places to look at & buy some fantastic & inspiring art (though I wasn't at the first one...)

Last year was in many ways a fucking nightmare. A clusterfuck sounds about right. I picked up some great art, but not in any kind of enjoyable way!

This year will be worse :-(

for someone9that wold be me) who has no way of being there if it happens, i hope there is none this year! ;D j/k. well if it does, good luck to everyone! and....

If the colour trollies haven't even been printed at pow and laz is busy making a new print shop , can't see a ghetto happening really.

Not just FPR, I was also under the impression that it wasn't going to happen this year , go figure

[snakes]

.doubt i will be attending as would no doubt be drawn into the frenzied vortex of buying for buyings sake..

Also with what it costs to take a days off of work you are almost better off going to flipper on ebay as i will be buggered if i am going to queue for a print for hours once the chilling grip of december has set in, never mind carrying an armfull of tubes on the tube!

word. i hope there will be some left for us. ;D

[dazza]

Has anyone any clue yet as to where the resurrected Santa's ghetto will actually be this year...No news on the POW site last time I looked?

[Simococo]

most people still seem to think the Big Smoke is its likely home.

[jnschicago]

What's the Big Smoke?

[Simococo]

the clean clean air of London Town

[finsburyparkranger]

I tell you what my predictions are never right, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. So this may cheer up those not in london....

I predict that Santa's ghetto will be in London this year. ;D

[urallwrong]

London eh??

you're all clueless! I can tell you that I have been told there will not be any Banksy prints released at the Ghetto this year. There will be a couple of Micallefs though! Also expect to see a Mclauchlan print and a Kelsey Brookes.
