So, I havent been on here for a while, and last time I was, there was a thread (somewhere, maybe not even in this bit) about the production of badges and /or t.shirts being made to identify fellow fb.netters at the upcoming pixie gigs..
so, did anything come of this? whats happening?
I woulod search for the thread, but cant remember what it was called, or what forum, or anything..so yeah..

yes, yes, i understand. after all the discussions (basically leading to nowhere), i just moved forward and made this shirt for myself, because i think it is a hell of a logo. and of course, the copyright thingy and the non-approval of most members (people have no taste nowadays  ) makes it anything but an "official fb.net shirt". no problem with that.
btw, does anybody know who designed the logo ?

Yes, it's very nice (in fact I have one like it too). Unfortunately, we can't call that an official or even sanctioned t-shirt because it uses a copyrighted image and because it wasn't approved by anyone here, but I do want to say that I like it and am certainly not intending to discourage (and definitely have no problems only focusing my blind eye upon it). Just posting so that you see the distinction.

It should probably be destickied. If there ever is a t-shirt, I don't think it will come from this thread. |

As fun as this is to read again, do I desticky it or what? Damien does have some pretty cool designs in there. And I like the whole "The Pixies Reunion Will Never Happen" tag more and more as it seems increasingly unlikely a Catholics reunion is in the cards.

I love people who cave under pressure. I won't even respond to what Dave has to say. That aside, I think "Serving Fans Since 1826" is my favorite of the proposed lines. I can't think of any good quotes currently...

Aye, we need to decide *what* to vote on, so stop voting and make suggestions.
So far:
"Join the Cult of Frank!"
"Come Get Kicked in the Taco"
"Dave Noisy Is Cool, Eh"
"Serving Fans Since 1826"
How about:
"Getting Kicked in the Taco Since 1826"
"Visit The Site And Buy A Nice Buttom"
"Join the Cult of Hermaphroditos"
"Home Of The Pure Denizen of the Citizens Band"
I think 'inside' jokes are great - this shirt isn't for Pixies fans or even FB fans - it's an FB.net tshirt. It's for people who visit and participate in this community. Or am i taking crazy pills..??

1 other thing. once the design and stuff is sorted. would it be an idea to find somewhere who makes them both in the US and over in the UK? so we can send them the design and specs... as i'm thinking it's going to add to the cost for us UK'ers, with shipping costs... but if we've got the design and stuff then surely any t-shirt printing company could do them for us? i understand it makes things a bit more complicated, with who pays for what and stuff... but something to think about. sorry if it's already been brought up!

well... erm, firstly, i didn't realise those colours were for the girls t-shirs! haha, although they'll probably fit me better than the lads ones... not that i have breasts, just that unless the 'small' size really is small and not 'small elephant' size, then girls t-shirts normally fit me better.
i don't like the kicked in the taco tag. but i'm all for parts of songs printed on the back or something... if it were just plain text on the back, would it cost anymore to differ the backs? if they're being made to order could we have the back slogan customised? so say i could have "i want to live in los angeles, no not the one in los angeles" or something? anyway, just thinking out aloud! i didn't really care for or care against cult of frank... it's an "in" joke so wouldn't mean much to most people, although on the other hand it sounds cool and people would ask what on earth it was about... erm, then you'd have to explain, and maybe sound a bit geeky!
what's the plan then? decide on colours and then design? or design and then colours? i personally thing get the colour of the t-shirt first and then start thinking about the design? i really am all for this dark blue colour! would look ace.
erm, yeah, i agree with everything homers_pet_monkey said!

I agree, 'serving fans since 1826' is a great tag line.
I think some a voting thread needs to be set up, one that everyone agrees not to pollute with trivia and side issues. A simple set of questions with answers a,b c etc. i.e. colour, design, wording etc. Set a time limit of say 1 week and the final outcome can then be totted up. Hanging chads to be dismissed.

I agree with Mel about deleting the flaming stuff between Dean and Jim, and also about starting a new thread with the different designs and people voting for or against them.
Hadn't thought about the "Since 1826" thing, but I really like it.

Join the Cult of Frank is fun, but I would have liked it better as the title of a next CD by FB.net members.
I wonder if hanging out at Pixies gig with a T-shirt named Cult of Frank is such a good idea, may be kind of disrespectful for the other pixies.
So i don't vote for it.
I don't like Come Get Kicked in the Taco.

Wow. After reading this i feel like saying 'fuck the fucking tshirts'.
So what if it says 'Cult of Frank'?? Why would Dean want his handle on the shirt? Unless it says 'The Cult of Frank is cool', it does NOTHING to credit or raise his stature. This is ridiculous.
Maybe you know him better than me, but to say that this is an ego-trip is quite insulting. Considering all he *has* done for the site (two tribute albums, bios, and an insane amount of time and energy keeping the Forum fun), i have hardly seen a twinkling of this 'ego' you seem so aware of. Maybe i'm missing something.
As for me voting against the COF idea, that was two-fold and not really a 'i hate it' vote. I've had bad experiences with cults in the past, so anything with a cult reference makes me hesitate. Also, i was trying to promote my 'Come Get Kicked in the Taco' idea, by not speaking so favorably of his. (So that leaves Ramona as the only opposition besides you and Mel.)
I think it's a great idea, especially since this is an FB.NET tshirt, and not a Frank Black tshirt. The 'Cult of Frank' theme has played a significant part in this community, and does not deserve the denigration you have provided so graciously.
If 'JOIN THE CULT OF FRANK' really means 'JOIN DEAN' to you, and if you really think this is his intent, then i have little else to add.
Work out what you need to privately and stop bringing this baboonary here.
To keep moving forward, what ARE the potential blurbs?

I don't think having the "Cult of Frank" on a FB t-shirt is SO bad, and even though it has caused alot of turmoil, maybe it should still be considered in the voting. I know it seems to have been ruled out just now, but, isn't that what the voting would be for? It appears as though it's prematurely been voted off.
I really like the "Since 1826" idea and also the "Kick my Taco" or whatever thing on back. But I guess printing on the back is out.

I never saw anything wrong with Cult Of Frank from the get-go; it seems more like a Cult Of Ray reference to me than one to Dean's handle, but that's cool if we drop it. I was thinking maybe we could incorporate the "since 1826" thing that used to be on the main page into the shirt as a sort of play-on the big clothing companies that have the dates on their shirts; and of course the "Come get kicked in the taco" thing would work for something. Also that "Not this Frank Black" thing is really funny and might work for a shirt.

Mel, that's OK, I think I'm done with this t-shirt business. I see no reason to continue when my only motivation is to try to help get this moving and instead I'm attacked time and again. I really don't think you understand that I don't care about whether "Cult of Frank" is on the shirt or not, as I don't see it as towards me, but yes, I did consider it which is why I asked back on page one when I suggested it that if people felt wrong because it was my handle, they should say so. I now officially would like to remove that suggestion because it feels tainted and even though I do not believe there was anything wrong with me making a suggestion, I feel that it has become about me instead of Frank due to Jim's allegations. If the cult thing is further creepy, all the more reason to not go with it. This could've come up sooner and a lot nicer, like when I asked initially. And I'm not sure how I'm using the t-shirt thing to get at him, it seems more that he used it to get at me and I'm defending myself. But whatever. Finally, yes, I agree we should not be doing this publically (hence my suggestion to take this conversation to email).
As for why I did not post your private comments to me, Jim, it was merely because I thought such an action to be disrespectful in the utmost. Feel free to post it if you'd like, I would do so, but as I just stated, I'm done with it, because no, the t-shirt thing isn't a big deal, and this is probably the only way you could ever see that I could care less about it. My problem is, as I've stated time and again, and as Mel seems to have caught up on, with you. This attack was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
Consider my suggestion for the shirt dropped. If I had known it was going to be such a big deal, I never would've made the suggestion in the first place.
Now back to choosing shirts for FB.Net.

I appreiciate your apology Dean, but you dont know how difficult it is for me to not comment on your post.
For the sake of the other members, I wont.
And i dont think this should be aired publicly. There is obviously something going on between the two of you, that seems to be quite long lived, and you clearly need to resolve - or ignore eachother.
You seem to both be using this Tshirt thing as a way to get at eachother (no matter who may be right, or wrong). and thats not fair on anyone.
Yeah, my fault for replying to your post publicly, i should have done so by email. But you too should have made your post privately as well.
Youve both obviously just reached a boiling point with eachother, and as i said, its clear there have been underlying disagreements between the two of you for far too long.
However, Dean, your post seems to me to be a bit of a contradiction in many ways.
Im sure you have the foresight to have seen that a LOT of people would not be happy using your handle name on the T Shirt - what ever other reference it may haveto the sight. I dont think its just the fact its your handle for most - just the whole cult thing in general..I dont know, has a strange feeling to it. But I can only speak for myself.
Anyway. Black and pink girls tees fine with everyone?
