I have been meaning to do a drawing that shows a progression of the imagery from each album, Bullets to Danger Days, that might be fun for a cover.
Maybe to make things a little easier we could go by album instead of year? Like, start with Bullets, messages from fans about this in general (maybe divide up the albums with track listings so if anyone has a special something to say about a specific track it can be placed in there).

I really like the idea of collecting pictures and such to celebrate them being together for 10 years. I wish I got a picture of when I was Helena for Halloween.
By the way, I was wondering what time everyone was planning on getting there. I mean, everyone has to get there pretty early to get at barrier for a banner.

Cousin and I are thinking 5AM right now, but that might change depending on how early people line up for the other dates.

Tripple post, I suck.
Anyway, Deedee said she's going to make the banner.
I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO BRING BOAS TO THROW AT GERARD.

Yeeeep, I'm making the banner. Tera, I was just wondering, what colors should I use for it? I'm gonna use fabric spray paint and then add glitter and other stuff... so should I just use, like, Killjoy colors or what?

Whatever you use, make sure there's a lot of contrast so it can easily be read. I'd say black on white would work out the best.
If you wanna do a Killjoy thing, though, Party Poison's logo is Black on Pink, so that would work too.

So should I do the 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY GERARD' in just black and then add colors around it? I was thinking of adding a Party Poison mask too... or something.

Alright so I went and bought the material today. I got 4 yards and... it's huge. Like, SUPER huge. We'd need a shitload of people to hold it, and who knows if the people next to us would be willing to. I think we do at most 3.5 yards... if not just 3 or 2.5. I don't know, I'll try more measurements tomorrow and see what would work best. And I probably won't start on it for another couple weeks but I did a rough sketch of what it could look like. Keep in mind that it's really rough, lol. i54.tinypic.com/29qo3d1.jpg Yay? Nay? Let me know what'd you like to change and such.

If you think shorter is better, then go for it! Maybe punch holes in it at some places to tie ribbon through so maybe we can tie it to the barricade instead of holding it? I'm sure people will be willing to just tie a bow.
I like the rough sketch, it looks like it'll work out just fine. How tall is it?

the rough sketch looks fantastic people should be able to tie a bow lol but yea, that would be really cool to hang up :] unfortunately my i have an ib art critique/exam that morning D: and my friend that wants to go with me has an even later time than i do. so idk when i'll be able to get there. maybe like 10 pr 11. i know i won't get barricade but i'd be pretty close wouldn't i? idk. kinda bummed on that aspect this project however will be cool. i bet gerard will really like the banner

also i think celebrating the 10 years the band has been together could be a cool theme. maybe a cover or end page for the book could be like a collage of the band through the years. different photoshoots, quotes, etc. and like it may not chronologically show 2001 to 2011 but like if we have bullets era pictures mixed with like killjoy pictures and everything in between that could look cool. i also just really like collages xD haha also like how big are the books? like size wise, not pages? just wondering... but yea this sounds pretty good so far :]

Ah, sorry for the late response, school's been kicking my ass the past few days.
Anyway, I'm not sure yet how the lines are gonna be for this tour, but for the arena show I went to in 2007 for them, my friend and I showed up at about one or two o'clock in the afternoon (right after school) and managed to be right smack behind the people who had barricade. But then, this was a week day and in another state entirely. And in 2007. So idk what's changed but I'd say you'd get a decent spot at that time.
And anyway, we're gonna divide up the book for the band by album, rather than year, and I'm currently taking submissions! You can find info here: tbdoll.deviantart.com/journal/38753429/
I'm also working on a front and back cover with themes from each of the albums. I'm working on the back cover now and will probably livestream it later!
The pages will the the size of a standard, 8.5 x 11" sheet of paper, and I bought .5" binders to put them in.
