Need Fall fan photos !, Official request from band-UPDATE 20 APR

UPDATE 20 APRIL 2005

Slightly more info on the photo thing, particularly about the style of shots wanted.

The reason photos of people either standing up and looking straight ahead or sitting down on a chair looking straight ahead are needed is so that a "school photo" can be constructed of Fall fans - the wearing of a Fall t-shirt is not negotiable.

Those folks who have sent photos not conforming to that will need to do them again - I'm so sorry

I actually only found out tonight this is exactly what was required (got the standing up and sitting down bit, but now know why it was so important - yup, I got the bigger picture ).

I'm afraid the reason for this request still remains top secret (I still don't know what it is, but it is legitimate)....deadline remains the same.

You can e-mail me photos direct at clayts@REMOVETHISBITarea450.com (obviously remove the bit that says REMOVETHISBIT first - done to avoid spam harvesting software). Please ensure the subject line of your e-mail is "Fall photo" as I use filtering software.

Failure not to be involved, I am assured, will result in many Fall fans kicking themselves for years to come.....

Original message
Top secret reason (and even I don't know what it is as yet), but it's very definitely linked to the band.

I have been asked to collate photos of Fall fans.

They need to be full length pictures or the subject needs to be sat down on a chair facing the camera - they must be wearing a Fall t-shirt ....

I swear this isn't a wind up. I'm booking meself into Generalist's studio for a full professional shoot, me

Please PM me if you want to send me a photo, and I'll send you my e-mail address.

The closing date is two months from today (say 9 June 2005)

Is this just drum up t-shirt sales ?

well then i know that i need to take a picture of me with a fall shirt on, i do have a big pic of me minus fall shirt.

Maybe you could Photoshop a T-shirt onto your body ?

Can I just write "THE FALL" all over my naked torso?

Yes, as long as you wear a fig leaf. You exhibitionist, you....

No, no... I would definitely crop the picture above my unutterables.

well i took a picture of me in my dragnet shirt, now i just need my sisters help to somehow load it onto the computer to send out.

Hey Mr C-check the otherside (pics) and perhaps also 'see what we look like' thread for me in the 2g +g one-its with the family-I'd/theyd be chuffed.

pathetic, I know, but...

I reckon the photos are going to be used for the new LP - "Look at the plight of 50,000 Fall fans" or "T-shirts mingle, our fans ming" or "Look! Woe!".

Crass looking rude bits will be drawn on along with the usual stuff like beards, specs, pipes etc.

I'll send mine soon.

are you are sad (old) bastards

I'm far too old to be advertising my cultural sub-genre status by wearing my favourite band's name on a t-shirt for everyone to see (most of whom, are indeed, just paste).

Clayts, can we make our own?

I work in an art college and have access to glitter.

besides. Action records are selling something distressing called "skinny fit" t-shirts, and believe me, no one is going to want to see my mature frame in a spray-on stylee t-shirt, even if it does have "The Fall" written across it.

Or should that be T h e F a l l

Or should that be T h e F a l l

Fat Hell

The mind boggles...

Clayts, can i email you mine now? I just so happen to be wearing a fall T-shirt

I have a photo with me in a fig leaf. Can I use that?

As long as The Fall is printed on the fig leaf, yes...

Yes?

Yes?

Or borrow mine......

Any clues what size?

Photos, not fig leaves...

I don't think it matters

Size dosent matter?
I feel a thread coming on...

Any clues as to what this is about yet people?

I'd hate to see my pic turn up on a 'Mark helps the homeless' poster.....

or, with the new album on import in UK & 50,000 essential reissues 'Mark makes them homeless'...
