I'm wearing my sheffield sex city shirt in my new photo :D

Fran I'd already told my sister I'd be looking out for people. She's on about five different forums for other bands and has met some of her best friends that way so she understands :D It did surprise me you recognised me though, my description was terrible!

A template for the photos/signatures wouldn't make much difference because either way they'll need resizing. The best thing you can do for the photos is take a high as resolution as possible. For the signatures just try to make them as high contrast as possible - black ink on plain white paper is best. A jpeg is the best format but anything will do - I can certainly work with a PDF :) I'll be able to get on my email in about an hour so I'll reply to you all then.

If it arrives late like people have said, it's the thought that counts. Besides, Pulp aren't exactly great at time management themselves!

All that really needs deciding now is the greeting in the card - can anyone thing of anything? And are we addressing it to "Pulp" or "Jarvis, Candida, etc, etc"? If it's the later are we including Leo, Jean and Richard?

Personally I think it is better addressing it by name - and maybe Pulp + Richard? We don't really know much about the other two

Leo has been on nearly every gig this tour though. IDK, it just seems like if we're thanking them for the reunion and everything it'd be nice to include him? I don't know how many shows Jean has done though.

I think it would be good to include Leo.

yes, i agree that leo should be included. ...and speaking of leo, i may or may not have looked right at him while singing "i want to take you home, i want to give you children etc." the other night. he must've thought me a horrendous person :)

If people are worried about missing the Christmas thing it could be turned into a thnak you card as well.

I emailed the Sunday Service yesterday about L'Amour Est Bleu. That melody has been stuck in my head as an earworm for years and years, but I had no idea what it was or where I had heard it, no lyrics to go with the melody or anything. Then I heard it on Saturday night along with the first of the videos and now I finally know what it was! I was going to add a comment about Jarvis looking so tentative, saying thank you for coming and being so nice to us, saying we're nice to them because they are so nice to us. Whatever else may happen on some occasions, they never fail to put in loads of effort and extra bits and pieces. But I chickened out as it was too emotionally effusive for me - most things are too emotionally effusive for me so that's not saying a great deal. This just proves I should write Geeky Girl on my picture I suppose! Anyway, the point of writing this here is maybe someone less repressed than me would like to write something reciprocal about being nice to them because they are so nice to us.

Well I have emailed my efforts to Lauren. I couldn't take a pic as I still have a cut on my head from where I slipped on the ice last week. Instead I used a pic from Wireless. That should do the trick. Perhaps turning it into a 'Thank You' card may be a good suggestion as God knows when they will get it.

Hi guys - as far as I can see it's only myself and rawrsomesauce who can do the photo at Bar Italia, and we need a camera, and someone to take the photo.

Would it be easier to get a picture of Bar Italia with randoms, and photoshop some of the 5 faces emailed onto the faces of people sat in the window at the time? To make it look good it could be done in a cheesy way by making the heads bigger than they actually should be?

If possible we could have those 5 people posing in the same way as on the Common People cover.

What do we think?

Thanks

If there's only 2 of you, maybe you could just pose in Bar Italia looking really wasted after a night out, heaping sugar into your coffee, that kind of thing ...

Yeah no I think the picture would look best in front of bar italia but the seats there don't facilitate that kind of picture as well. Unless you did it out front. I was just unsure what the idea was. Never mind me!

Hmm, that would be nice. How would we get it to him though?

Can anyone think of what to write in it? I just nearly wrote "thank you for the music" so I think I need some guidance...

Hmmmm what to say?! This is going to need some thought. I'm guessing we can run off a few different versions & send them to whoever really. When I thought 'Pulp' I was thinking everybody. Normally the management company deal with fanmail so I guess Rough Trade is the place to go. but.... what to say??? Hmmmmmm...

Cool Ruby :)

Okay here's a few colour schemes for the inside. You can tell me if you like them or hate them or have any other ideas :) The placement of the signatures still need working out but I'm leaving space for me and Ruby. The shame, I've nagged you all to sign and haven't got round to it myself! By the way I haven't properly sized up all the signatures yet so don't worry if yours looks a little blury, it will be fixed.

A few Different Class era inspired stuff:

pink_yellow.pngwhite_grey.png

and some This is Hardcore type stuff. The font isn't quite right - I don't have the exact verson of Helvetica used on the cover but I can get it. (Is it even noticable that it's different to people who didn't spend four years studying type???)

I also like the idea of something Party Hard themed with rainbow text but let me know what you think 'coz that's a pain to mock up ha ha.

Great work Lauren! Personally I quite like the yellow and pink one but they all look really good so I'd be happy with any
