      I'm not really a sign kind of guy, but considering one for the soundcheck in Albany. I'm just trying to gauge what kind of signs people have seen and/or are bringing as well as what other gimmicks people are using to try and get Paul's attention at the soundcheck, pre-show, etc. So please post the text of your sign here and whatever other gimmicks you feel are relevant.

        People will probably be reticent to share their signs for fear of a) ridicule b) someone stealing their idea

          Ok, let's approach it from this angle: what are some of the signs you remember seeing? I think a few have been mentioned on this forum already.

            The best one was when the 3 guys had a lifesize poster of the Abbey Road album cover (minus The Beatles) and it said "Paul, take off your shoes and socks" He called them up on the stage and had 2 of his people hold the poster, took off his shoes & socks, and posed walking across the street with the 3 guys. It was priceless! This is up on youtube if you want to search for it.

                That's pretty cool...I looked on YouTube, but can't seem to find it--not quite sure how to search for it. Can someone please post the link? Thanks. Anyone remember any other signs that got called up. I remember reading about a chick here that had a sign that said something like please sign my blackbird but she looked quite attractive and had a nice figure. As a guy, I don't have her "assets" to attact his attention so I'll have to fall back on my wit and charm

                  SEarch here for tattoo thread. Many have gotten up onstage for a body siggy. I'll search for the vid of the abbey road banner. It may also be on Paul's site.

                      Cool thanks. I'll have to think of something else as there no part of my body that I'd want him to sign

                        I found the tattoo thread from a couple years ago & brought it up for you to read. It's in the Rockshow section.

                              Do they have a size limit on signage that you are allowed to bring in?

                                    Yes...I believe it's "standard" poster size that is allowed (IIRC - 2 feet X 3 feet).
