As I mentioned before on my first post, one of the things I remember fondly during the American Idiot era was getting the teen magazines for posters and pictures of Green Day. The two main magazines I would always get were Tiger Beat and Bop, and a couple or few times I also got another one called M. There were other ones too like Pop Star and J-14 but I never got them, and it makes me wish I did, although in 2008 I ordered a 2006 issue of J-14 from Ebay because there was a poster I really wanted. The magazines put out Green Day posters from 2005 to 2006, and when they stopped I was bummed. When 21st Century Breakdown came out I was hoping the magazines would include the Green Day posters again but they never did.
My first poster I got was from the May 2005 issue of Tiger Beat, and I remember seeing the magazine when my family and I were at a Blockbuster. We looked through it and on the last page was a Green Day poster and I got excited when I saw it. That day was either on a Tuesday or a Wednesday and my mom told me I could get it on Friday. I couldn't stop smiling whenever I thought about it, and I wanted that day to come quickly.
Since my posters are pretty old I want to put them in picture frames to keep them nice and safe. I have four of them framed so far, and I will post pictures of them in the future.
Here's a picture of my first poster. Unfortunately my camera isn't that great and I could only take a picture of it close up because it focuses better.
But here is a better looking picture of the actual photo that I saved from the Internet.
Oh and one more thing, happy 50th birthday to Mike Dirnt!
