George’s Messages. Splendour.

George had one request for our trip to Splendour… He wanted us to spark a conversation with our readers.
But knowing fully well that we would be far too foggy to spark a conversation with anyone but the sun, we decided that George should do the talking.

So, we created a plethora of fake FOR SALE, WANTED and LOST posters. The kind that usually offer cheap rental opportunities in Chinatown, or guitar lessons in Glebe. The kind of posters with little, tear-tab phone numbers dangling on the bottom that reside against most of Sydney’s telegraph poles, in a paper mache mess of dated offers and faded promises. Only we were offering nonsense, the kind of nonsense that any festival dweller would surely enjoy (and we offered the Walrus’ number along the bottom).

As soon as we arrived in Byron, we quickly plastered the telegraph poles with these posters and the following are a few of the clearer, nicer messages left:

From 0421 ### 125:

From 0448 ### 078:

From 0416 ### 040:

From 0402 ### 876:

On the whole, we count it a success and you can be certain these posters will pop up elsewhere.
