I figured I should probably mention this on here before everyone starts jetting off, and before the forum becomes over-run with spam/locked.. It's not ready to print quite yet, but is about 70% laid out.. and now that I have job security til at least christmas, I can afford to print it asap when i get back from Fest.

The cover photo isn't meant to look quite like that, but I had to export the image from Quark as a PDF, then save it as a JPG to post up here and somewhere it's gotten a little hazy.



If you want one, keep an eye out on my zine myspace (it's in my signature) - i'll try to mention it again before the board is locked down.

i will be purchasinggs

board usually ins't locked down until a few weeks AFTER the Fest.

and I think it is possible that this year we may have enough of a handle on the Spam that it could stay open, at least a little while longer, depending on how much we all actually use it, post-fest.

I realise that, but the amount of people who read/post after seems to drop away so im getting my pitch in now while the gettin's good:)

I like the cover the way it is, reminds me of Cometbus.

I've been really impressed with the amount of activity on the board this year. Just look at last years numbers compared to this year. I want to keep this board going during the off-season. As long as people continue to post and moderators continue to moderate I think we should keep it going.

Also, I want a copy of this zine when you're here, Alex. I really enjoyed the last B.L.P. zine.

a screenshot is sometimes fine for web, btw. Dunno if that helps.

I'd be cool with carrying on doing my bit in the war against spam

I kind of want to make you the above animated .gif with your picture in it Kelly.

***Oops, this doesn't belong on this thread though.

haha. maybe i could do with a "wanna booze n shmooze with me?" banner. in the picture i could be in my whoop ass costume. haha the Fest's not here yet and i'm already thinking i'm going to be a walking joke . i'm gonna need counselling afterwards haha. i've no one to blame but myself

You know I'm OCD enough to do it PJ, I'm in.

great now people will know YEAR ROUND i have no life

Haha, ditto.

Ha! Yeah me too.

Really, tho. I think it would be an awesome idea to keep the board going.
I'll be here for sure!
It'll be like a little Festgeek internet family.

Hey maths club, nerd off on your own time - I'm trying to flog zines here!
