I was down in Venice (CA) today and I came across a Godzilla (2014) bus shelter, held down with bricks on the 4 corners, lightly covered with blown sand and torn at the bottom, on the boardwalk...

No one was around. The "rescuer" in me was half tempted to roll it up and bring it home... but the owner, Im sure, was lurking somewhere... $:-\$

The real question is... what are you doing in Venice on a hot Monday afternoon? Buying a bong?

Nice Mike... Just so you know, the bottom three are not bus shelters but NYC subway posters.

Scratch that... You wrote it down.

Nice nevertheless.

Correct. I was trying to pad my post.

I've corrected it to stay on topic. Apologies.

I'd have to get my med card first.. from one of the workers in their "greens" passing out their cards along the boardwalk...

I'm so official, that way...

I've always wondered about those? I get my pot straight from my neighbor across the street, so I've never had to buy it. In college maybe, but not for years. Do they actually sell weed in there?

I think you pay like 40 bucks for the card, ONLY... how it works after that... me has no clue...

What... you tell them you have back pains and they give you a card? What's funny is that the cops are parked 20 feet away.

And they dont care.... i think because you are ripped off for 40 bucks for just some laser printed card.... quick dollars.... those sellers passing out those cards are all minimum wage paid clowns....

I got caught smoking pot in Venice. About 15 years ago. Out of a red convertible Wrangler. I hid a bud the size of my thumb in the middle compartment. The cops showed up, parked their car right next to mine, asked me what I was doing. I told them I was smoking a cigar

They searched the car, found my bud. Busted! The cop told me: "Do me a favor, don't lie to us and smoke at home." And he let me go.

My favorite bus shelter acquisition so far this year. Don't care if the movie is shit, this is a cool design, imo.

Forgot about this thread. Have to post these!

Agreed, great poster (...how/where do you guys find sh*t like this?)

Too bad they felt the need to have the M-16 in there... just a raised fist would have been more poignant

The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes art is wild, and I like that they included the orangutan and gorilla, along with Caesar and his fellow chimpanzees. The new renditions of Kong, with Ms. Watts, are also nice.

I have a couple of subways.....no bus shelters. But, I am sure there are a few I would buy if they presented themselves.

eatbrie · « **Reply #94 on:** July 21, 2014, 03:00:14 PM »

New one!!! Saldana does it for me, in black, blue or green.

I get the impression it's going to be a popular poster....

I know this is an old thread, but I thought I'd ask my question here to keep the information centralized.

Regarding US bus shelters, what type of material should they be? I've bought a few bus shelters and they are all that heavy coated material (vinyl?), so I figured that's how all bus shelters were. However, I recently bought another bus shelter and this one was not that material. It was pretty much just paper. Thicker than a one sheet, for sure, but not that heavy coated stuff. What gives? Could there be two different prints of the same size but used in different locations? For example, the heavy coated stuff goes outdoors in actual bus shelters, while the non-coated paper goes in something like an IMAX light box? Any help from our local bus shelter collectors would be much appreciated.

I know you want to know about the US ones, but even the UK stuff is not the same. I have paper, coated paper, and fully vinyl, I don't know why, maybe different distributers use different printers... I've never seen the same poster in different materials, always the same, are you saying you have the same poster, but printed on different materials?

Are you sure you dont have a subway? They are heavy and there is a paper type backing on them that can peel off. Normally US bus are just heavier paper.
