I left a message with Wildfur asking if they wanted a copy and Simon Furman just rang me to give me the address. Simon Furman rang me. That's so cool.

Lets face it, he's pretty busy at the mo, so thats damn cool.

That is indeed cool. Maybe if there is another Furman interview, the interviewer could at the end make a discreet question about what he thought about his free TransFest magazine copy?

No, those are the underpants gnomes. Autobloke's just trying to make sure they don't get a monopoly on the market.

Where have I heard of Underpant Gnomes before? It's really bigging me that I can't remember.

And they already have a momoploy on the market: Monoploy- The Underpant Gnome Edition.
Do not pass 'Go' - do not pass wind in your grundies.

Simon Furman? Who's he?

Make him pay double for his copy.

Just asking a question.
I think we'd gone back to normal after that.

He told me he was aware of Transfest as he'd seen it on the site.

Ooh yeah.

Cool. He should have come to the night out.
P*ssed with Furman.

Just a thought - and entirely spam-free - why not have 'Transfest '06' t-shirts as well as a comic next year?

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 3:47 pm

That sounds like a plan - though it'll mark us out as even bigger geeks than we already appeared. Having said that, it was Andrew in the ST:TNG T-shirt who got that bunny-girl's number...

Señior's Covenant · Post by **Señior's Covenant** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 3:53 pm

Well, there is something about a man in uniform...

Now I didn't say that.

Of course, you don't have to wear them for the event - but it would be cool - they could just be given out during the night (or sold - it would probably only cost about £13 to do one - nearly the same as the Transfest comic).
And then think of wearing a nice tee with a cool TF pic on the front, and our site's web address and 'Transfest '06' across the shouders on the back to all the other TF conventions to let all know from where we hail.

I'll have to mock something up.

It was the cute one, too. Dammit.

Although I take solace in the fact that she was blatantly obligated to get some bloke's number before the night was out and he was just closest.

[EDIT] and isn't the next event being called "Transfest - Target:2006" or somesuch?

Impactor returns 2.0 · Post by **Impactor returns 2.0** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 4:11 pm

Im sure we could do somthing like that - perhaps an 'ANNUAL' at £100 a copy... t-shirts are good, but I need my sexy shirts on to pull. oh i did pull, the blonde..

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 4:20 pm

Good work, Impy.

Spidey and Mob, I've just posted your comics (in proper "Please Do Not Bend" envelopes) so look out for those over the next couple of days. Also posted one each to Matt the artist and Wildfur (I paid for those, it was worth it to get a phone call from Simon himself). The guy at the post office raised his eyebrows at names like "Gilvatron", "The Mob", "Websterbot" and "Furman Maximus" but when I explained we were Transfans he understood completely...

So I now have 3 issues reserved and 10 left to sell. Last chance for board members to grab one before I start pimping them on other boards and/or eBay after the weekend...incidentally the complete cost including postage (within the UK) comes to £12.89, and probably a pound or two more for overseas. Get your orders in now because when they're gone, they're gone...

I'd save at least the last one FOR ebay. Spread word of it being the last issue of this exclusive and watch as they go at it. Could be fun.

Autobloke · Post by **Autobloke** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 4:49 pm

I was thinking of something like this (pardon my dodgy pics):

Too flash?
Of course, the triple-printing would put up the price. Perhaps just a front picture/blurb would be better start.

Señior's Covenant · Post by **Señior's Covenant** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 4:54 pm

Honestly I'd like to see Impactor be the focus on the shirt, with the wording done in a similar color scheme to him. He could be the spokesbot for this stuff, y'know?

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 4:56 pm

Nah, I was thinking more of the Transfans Shockwave logo for the T-shirt. The sort of thing you could wear and people wouldn't immediately clock it as a TF shirt...

Autobloke · Post by **Autobloke** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 5:10 pm

The only decent pic I had on the PC. It's just a vague pointer on an idea.
Purple would be a good colour to go with though...
Perhaps we should have a thread where people could contribute to next year's 'Fest concerning the comic and possible tee.
Gives us a year to sort things right.

That's 2005. You already did that one.

Mine was just a taster. I'd much rather a tee that looks like something else from afar - like those pictures of skulls that are actually people sat at a table or something.

Already ordered one. Well two, actually. One's for my sister's Christmas box...

ok these are out of a restricted forum, thanks to strafey fox and his cool designs...

Wouldnt normally link stuff from there, but I had actually brought up the t-shirt idea a few months ago. strafeys work looked best

Good init?

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 7:43 pm

Ooh yeah. That's just what I had in mind.

Autobloke · Post by **Autobloke** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 10:18 pm

Very nice.
Can't blame a 'Bloke for just trying to throw something together in five minutes though.

KingMob · Post by **KingMob** » Fri Jul 29, 2005 7:46 am

Oooh, love those T-shirts.

I would so wear a Transfans T-shirt.

When I read the 'Transfest 06 t-shirt' suggestion, before I read on, I immediately thought of the Transfans Shockwave. Reckon that'd be a winner.
But now seeing that Scorpy, I'm wondering if the site's, um, 'head' motif could be carried onto the T-shirts somehow. I really like the TF heads images you have up in the corner of the screen here. Iconic and subtle.

Cheers for the heads-up on the comic, EmVee. Yay, some nice post and not bills!
And Simon Furman phoning you, and you sending Wildfur a comic, is total class. Nice one.

edit: I got me comic, thanks! It's really great guys, cool artwork (love the cover) and the letters page had me laughing my guts out. Great stuff, cheers.
