New Street Team

[duffersuk]

Some doubt as to whether this is in the right place and whether it's genuine, but I can assure it is!

I guess you all know that Patrick’s doing a ‘solo tour’ as follows:

Wed 21-Nov Brighton St George
Thurs 22-Nov Exeter Phoenix
Fri 23-Nov Bristol Trinity Theatre

Sun 25-Nov Manchester Lowry
Mon 26-Nov Leicester Y Theatre
Tues 27-Nov Sheffield Memorial Hall

Thurs 29-Nov Glasgow Oran Mor
Fri 30-Nov Middlesborough MIMA

Patrick’s manager has invited me to build a street team starting with helping on this tour.

So, if you’re up for helping out on merchandise and signing folk up to the ever-growing mailing list, and would welcome free entry for you and a friend (aka assistant) plus possible a free tee shirt, email me on [e-mail] with your full name, age (at some venues, age restrictions apply) and location, together with show on this tour you can help at.

I’ll put all the names in a hat (I’m assured you lot are ‘mad for it’ and I’ll get loads!) and pick folks by the end of next week, so keep checking for my mailouts please.

I will be doing one of these dates myself, but I won’t say which one as yet, cos then it might put people off applying to join the team, and there will be much more opportunities to help in the future. And don’t limit yourself if you’re oversees either, we may be asking for the same kind of help when Patrick returns to finish conquering the world (muhahahaha…)

*braces himself for massive response*

Thanks

So does that mean we should email you now if we want to be a part of the street team when he comes back to the states too?

[Chloë]

Hmm, I'm tempted, it could be kinda fun.
...but I've already got tickets for bristol, so i don't need any more, can I have a backstage pass please?

[lazy poet]

ha that was what i was going to suggest
if you've already got tickets there's no point because it puts you to the back of the que anyway as you have to do your job when people are already lining up
though if there's backstage passes involved then i'll be interested...

[jay]

oh wow, if i got this then i wouldn't be in such dire straits with my finances... crosses fingers.

[duffersuk]

No backstage passes I'm afraid.

But yes sign up from all over the globe, we'll look to do something similar when Patrick's in your neck of the woods

[lltoastll]

Would we be allowed to sign up if we're from Canada even though he's probably not going to be touring (in Canada) for awhile?

[duffersuk]

Well, I have it on good authority that you UK based folks would be more up for it than the the world 'Up For It' champion, on National 'Up For It' day, armed with an electronic 'Up For It' machine (copyright Matt Groenig).

Be great to hear from folk planning to go to the shoes (Exeter, Bristol, Manchester and Glasgow in particular) who would love to get involved...go on, we don't bite!

hmmmm I do a lot of streetteaming through Traffic, sometimes for bands I dont even particulary like... I'm quite good in getting people sing up
and I love patrick's music.
But I've already got tickets for Brighton so I dont want to take away the opportunity from someone who is in a more desperate situation.

[duffersuk]

Traffic are getting their team's to contribute vocally nowadays?

[sanssouci]

boom tish!
my friend and I are interested for Exeter but I'd really like to know a bit more about what exactly it would involve, is it better to email you to ask about it?

[duffersuk]

yes, most definitely..in the next 10 minutes!

ha, pick on the bloody immigrant for misspelling
isn't that enough that we take away your jobs and NHS dentist places we can't even spell properly.

[Oblivion!]

My internet has been down for the last week or so...Is it too late for me to email you about streetteaming in the US the next time Patrick comes around? I would really like more information about it....

[duffersuk]

As and when Patrick comes back over oblivion I'll be checking on the need for help, so join away please.

And I'm bumping this up cos we still have spaces for Bristol and Manchester!!!

[sparklyvodka]

I was just wondering if you've chosen the people for the other gigs and have e-mailed them about it yet? Because if I wasn't lucky enough to be selected, there are some tickets on ebay I've been eyeing up...

[duffersuk]

Doing it today sparkly...just been wqiting to see if anyone from Bristol or Manchester was interested!

[jay]

thank you so much mr. duffy this is kind of sucking up and bringing a bit of maudlin nonsense to the board i am aware, but my money situation right now is so fucking dire and if i sell those tickets i bought for MIMA then i'll be alright for another week so THANK YOU AGAIN

[sparklyvodka]

eeeek! yes thank you ever so much! i'm a poor student so this has made my day hehe. omg this is gonna be so much fun

[duffersuk]

I hope you 2 (and I can't tell from your usernames!) will be officially confirming your involvement by replying to my email!!!
