Matt Mays + El Torpedo are on a jaunt across Canada right now (sadly no stop in Ottawa, even more sad that I had to sell my tickets to see them back in November to go see the Smashing Pumpkins) and I spied this amazing tour poster on their website yesterday.
I immediately contacted the management of the band to find out how I could order a copy for myself as they were not playing in Ottawa. They were nice enough to put up a high-resolution image on their website for me to download and get printed!
I sent it to Staples through their on-line submission process (which was quite painless) and lo and behold, 24 hours after seeing the poster for the first time, it is now framed and hanging in my entrance! The beauty of it is that it only cost me $11 to print out. Scratch that! What the heck? I found the receipt in my jacket and it wasn’t for $11.12, it was for $1.12! Smooth!
I really love the artwork to this poster. There’s something magical about it. Looks like it was designed by a company based in Ottawa called Rocket57.
