I left,. I've just read allthe posts and feel disgusted and sorry for all the people who have got nothing who should have got something. This is an unnacceptable to all involved . What a fukin disgrace

LAZ = FUCKING JOKE, by siddhartha on Sept 19, 2007 19:14:44 GMT 1, it's unfortunate to see all this. such is driving away the true fans. i didn't attempt to purchase the lithos as they don't match my furniture, but reading all of this is putting me off to Laz and to purchasing prints in general (but i'd reallly like and want the recent charcoal offering).
well, too many greedy people (baggers/flippers/scum!!!) acting like peasants. sad.

Exactly. The whole circus is just demeaning to all involved. Glad I didn't bother going.

LAZ = FUCKING JOKE, by worlddomination on Sept 19, 2007 19:19:04 GMT 1, as mentioned above, emails to LAZ are the way forward, better than b1tching here, I'd also cc Mic himself so he's personally aware of the balls-up, I don't know his contact deets but suggest info [at] antonymicallef [dot] com should work? What you've got basically is gallery staff (retail staff) trying to handle the situation with no clue of how to manage events. What you need is an event manager - crowd control, information available etc. It's not fcking rocket science - you'd think from the way Santa's Ghetto managed for the Flag release that LAZ would be able to sort it also. Laz don't give a fuck mate he is coining it in, it'sall about the $$$$$s commiserations to all who tried and failed

That family was a joke. Sending in 10 members of the family for full sets especially 2 8 year old boys with ยฃ5k cash each.
The bloke behind me didnt even know what he was buying. He had a piece of paper saying...
Antony Micallef... 4 prints. And then the print names>?!

Man, that's cringeworthy,not sure which is worse the parents for making them do it, or the staff for saying nothing and just taking the money

Who remembers when people had been camped outside for 5 hours, then those shoreditch twats just rolled up to get the free beer and just went through the doors past the que. wankers. I don't care who they know, they havent been waiting for 5 hours.

Antony should be concerned, not from the financial rewards but from the lack of integrity from areas of his agents company. It's amazing how much you can get away with when you have a couple of golden geese. Maybe these geese should seize laying there eggs!

You'll always get your VIP's but a wise host should be discrete and sensitive towards their other guests. Thats what the back door is for.

LAZ = FUCKING JOKE, by dumpsuk on Sept 19, 2007 19:33:38 GMT 1, I know this thread is growing longer but I feel I have to say something...I too was in the queue from 7am. I accept total responsibility for my late(?) arrival, and my underestimation of the demand for this print, especially as they were pretty much slagged by most on this board, bar a few. What I have a problem with is the MIS-information given out prior to the print release. I walked up and down that line ON the hour EVERY hour doing a head count to see if it was worth remaining. The maths is all wrong. 160 people in front, even if they all bought 4 prints I was sure to get one. This is pretty poor. I am sure i would have seen 80 queue jumpers. And a messgae to those that did jump the queue... I was pleasant, polite and courteous, next time i'm taking a washing-up bottle full of petrol, i will f*cking burn you where you stand...be warned. (was that a little harsh?)

LAZ = FUCKING JOKE, by absyrd on Sept 19, 2007 19:43:00 GMT 1, It is a limited edition print run. Some people are going to get them. A TON more people are going to get none. What makes you any more deserving than someone else you know nothing about? Even if the cat in front of you tells you he is flipping 'em on ebay, he got there that much earlier than you and beat you to one. How would any gallery expect to screen people for this? They can't; they have to think "Anyone who doesn't get one, no matter the situation, might get pissed. They'll get over it once they realize they are being crazy."
Really the only valid complaint is line-jumpers, but try to tell me you didn't know that type of stuff happens in any type of city street queue and I will call you a liar. They could have minimized it though. Or all of you forum members and "true fans" there could have banded up and stood up for yourselves when you saw someone do it. If you don't say anything to the guy, you think he is just gonna move because he has an epiphany about respecting people and mosy off on his own? And, as with any queue in the street, Laz did NOT tell people to do it nor plan it or anything similar, right? Your choice. You can't blame them for not wanting to act like street cops.
I'm sorry to hear you wasted that time and didn't come away with what you wanted. I believe you'll eventually get over it. Good luck.

It's amazing how much you can get away with when you have a couple of golden geese. Maybe these geese should seize laying there eggs!
90% of the people on this board and in that queue wouldn't have a fucking clue who Micallef was if it wasn't for Laz. Micallef is having a blockbusting million dollar show in LA, as has Faile and Banksy.. hardly gonna cry to Laz cos a few hundred flippers are crying that they didn't get one of his 1k prinst. Especially when POW simultainiously released a 1000 edition at less than a third of the price.
Fuck, 90% of the posts on here relating to the LAZ prints pre-release gave them a right old slagging. The same people gonna now mail LAZ/Micallef crying that they didn't get one ?.. jeez.

LAZ = FUCKING JOKE, by curiousgeorge on Sept 19, 2007 19:59:31 GMT 1, Valid complaint- just line jumpers?
How about 8 year old childrenx2 being able to pay cash for the set plus elder brothers and sister plus parents...That's 24 prints to one family.
People fighting were rushed to the front and allowed in to quickly complete the transaction, in case the police arrived?
3? security guards for a crowd that size?
False information regarding amount of prints available, thus making queue for 8 hours plus for no reason?
If as the site suggested 800 prints would be availble, thats almost a million in sales, Being generous with wages allow 200 per head x8 people? 1600 in wages, actually round that up 2k in wages..1 million in sales
3 groups of people who walked out with 78 prints between them?
And as for people not saying anything to people jumping in, i'm guessing people are wary of doing stuff like for fear of getting stabbed etc. I'm a big lad and can look after myself but can't go out and tell the local scallies to not ride motorbikes up and down the narrow alleyways near my house, sad to say i don't want the car burnt down or my house etc.
So in essence i think i disagree and say lots of people here have lots to complain about. Had it been 200 tickets given out etc, and i missed out i would be happy to say next time i'm staying overnight
You don't work for Laz do you btw?

Really the only valid complaint is line-jumpers, but try to tell me you didn't know that type of stuff happens in any type of city street queue and I will call you a liar. They could have minimized it though. Or all of you forum members and "true fans" there could have banded up and stood up for yourselves when you saw someone do it. If you don't say anything to the guy, you think he is just gonna move because he has an epiphany about respecting people and mosy off on his own? And, as with any queue in the street, Laz did NOT tell people to do it nor plan it or anything similar, right? Your choice. You can't blame them for not wanting to act like street cops. I'm sorry to hear you wasted that time and didn't come away with what you wanted. I believe you'll eventually get over it. Good luck.
Valid complaint- just line jumpers? How about 8 year old childrenx2 being able to pay cash for the set plus elder brothers and sister plus parents...That's 24 prints to one family. People fighting were rushed to the front and allowed in to quickly complete the transaction, in case the police arrived? 3? security guards for a crowd that size? False information regarding amount of prints available, thus making queue for 8 hours plus for no reason? If as the site suggested 800 prints would be availble, thats almost a million in sales, Being generous with wages allow 200 per head x8 people? 1600 in wages, actually round that up 2k in wages..1 million in sales 3 groups of people who walked out with 78 prints between them? And as for people not saying anything to people jumping in, i'm guessing people are wary of doing stuff like for fear of getting stabbed etc. I'm a big lad and can look after myself but can't go out and tell the local scallies to not ride motorbikes up and down the narrow alleyways near my house, sad to say i don't want the car burnt down or my house etc. So in essence i think i disagree and say lots of people here have lots to complain about. Had it been 200 tickets given out etc, and i missed out i would be happy to say next time i'm staying overnight You don't work for Laz do you btw? It is a limited edition print run. Some people are going to get them. A TON more people are going to get none. What makes you any more deserving than someone else you know nothing about? Even if the cat in front of you tells you he is flipping 'em on ebay, he got there that much earlier than you and beat you to one. How would any gallery expect to screen people for this?

LAZ = FUCKING JOKE, by buffin on Sept 19, 2007 20:02:34 GMT 1, To reward the people that assaulted someone in the queue is the ultimate insult. I thought at Stolen Space they refused to let children purchase prints.

LAZ = FUCKING JOKE, by finsburyparkranger on Sept 19, 2007 20:03:54 GMT 1, Ok sorry to be rude with animated wanking stick man. I'll try to address this in a more respectfull way....
Yes Laz is an agent to some very talented individuals and yes he is good at promoting them. Yes also to the fact that sometimes the middle men/women deserve to be praised ... but not when they c**k up.
No to the fact that this couldn't have been organised any better, of course it could. One print each with a raffle ticket system.
and NO to the fact that the people in the queue deserved the service they got.
PS I didn't queue up myself.

LAZ = FUCKING JOKE, by manty on Sept 19, 2007 20:05:22 GMT 1, The Guy working in working in Laz told it how he saw it, "as soon as they get on ebay the prices treble, thats why the queues are so big"
Hard to argue with really, so I didnt bother
