Everyone who participates in the clean up challenge is encouraged to take before and after photos of their efforts and submit them to: info@postergiant.net where they will be posted for all to see.

Suburban Noize Records and its artists on the Strange Noize Tour including (HED) P.E., KOTTONMOUTH KINGS, and the SUBNOIZE SOULJAZ, featuring Big B and The Dirtball, are joining the effort to help America’s wounded warriors. They understand the power they have to help young soldiers returning from a hardcore situation; having their bodies blown apart in the name of war. Huntington Beach, California’s (HED) P.E. has taken the lead with the fundraising promotion by pledging to wear the jerseys at each show. “The effort to fundraise for Ward 57 is non-political. They just want to help injured soldiers, who are all basically kids, to acquire the things they need to help them recover from their injuries,” says (HED) P.E. frontman Jared Gomes. “(HED) P.E. is on a mission to enlighten the youth about global affairs and individual responsibility.”

posterGIANT hit the streets last Sunday, armed with crowbars and garbage bags. It was time to wipe the proverbial poster slate clean. For a good chunk of the early day, 4-5 of us ran up and down Pine Street and over to the Chop Suey intersection in order to strip the metal and wooden poles alike.

The response from the community was great. Quite a few passerby’s stopped to commend us and say “thank you”. Makes you feel all warm inside… To be perfectly honest, though: it was rough work and not necessarily how one would like to spend a Sunday morning/afternoon. But, then again, there was pizza and beer afterwards and, if nothing else, it got my lazy butt out of bed.

Some of the posterGIANT crew headed out again last weekend to clean up some more poles around this fair city.

This time, the destination was Fremont.

Three utility poles were our targets there on Fremont Ave North: one pole in front of Sonic Boom and 2 across the street.

This first pole, across the street from Sonic Boom, wasn’t nearly as bad as the other two. Since this was the case, it was apparent we had our work cut out for us.

The posterGIANT crew went out again on Saturday Dec. 10th to strip the wooden poles on Capitol Hill. Every pole on lower Pike was stripped down using various hammers, crowbars, and saws. The crew was out all day prying off as much of the materials as they could get their hands on. With better tools, and some experience under their belts, the crew was even more effective than the previous cleanup.

posterGIANT spearheaded a Capitol Hill cleanup crew on November 19th. The crew consisted of over a dozen men and women coming together to strip the poles on the hill, something thathas not been done since the poster ban was lifted in 2001. The crew gathered in the early morning and proceeded to tear down the layers of posters on the wooden poles which had accumulated since the lifting of the ban. The act sparked a buzz on the hill with numerous passers by stopping to chat and show their appreciation.
