Street Team

[AlinaPOW]

Yeah yeah, i know everyone's probably sick to death of this topic being bandied around, and nothing'll probably ever come of it, but i felt compelled to restart it.
now i'm no authority on this thing, and i could be wrong, but i think there is a good handful of forumers who are definitely dedicated, commited and trustworthy enough that perhaps we could possibly consider bringing back an official street team.

Discuss away people :D

[AlinaPOW]

"Here Here."
"Yeah yeah, i like it."
"KILL HER!!"

Don't mind me...

[NowhereTown]

I would love to be a part of a TLE street team

[Kevin]

the band kinda sells itself these days, maybe 40-30-30 andy's way :p

but yeah, sounds good

[Outlaw Love Song]

What Kev said...

[Caity]

There were some valid reasons why the old one got canned, and besides that, Trav did have the Unofficial Street Team set up.
It's more or less the money factor, and time - there needs to be someone permanently there to lead the Street Team. Probably more reason but hey, that's enough for now.

[NowhereTown]

fair enough

[Shadow]

I do as much as I can to plug the boys - posters around the local spots, school and stuff.

I'd love to be part of a Street Team.

[Bec]

Well if they don't wanna start another official one, there's nothing to stop us starting an unofficial street team is there?
But yeah, I'd definately join, whether it was official or not!

[Kev]

It cost poor TLE big dollars to run the street team. It came directly outta the boys wallets and a couple of people went and fucked it up for all the honest peoples.

w3rd of mouth is always good, and always requesting the singles on the radio helps big time too. and not just once or twice, ring up as many times possible, emailing the request lines etc.

[AlinaPOW]

the band kinda sells itself these days, maybe 40-30-30 andy's way :p

but yeah, sounds good

That is very true. But hey, a little extra help never hurt anyone.
Well maybe we should think about organising our own unofficial team?

[Kev]

The unofficial street team was being run by Trav, but not much has happened since the board crash 2 moons ago.

Woody did create some fliers for us to print out and hand around for the big SOE tour in May.

[AlinaPOW]

Yeah i heard all about that in the old street team thread, i reckon that's absolutely horrendous.

[AlinaPOW]

Shit! I don't mean the fliers were horrendous *smacks head*, i mean the traitor type people!

[The Dying Start]

Yeah the official one will never be back. It was just too expensive. There's nothing to stop people from doing it themselves...that's what we've always said. Trav's street team was meant to give people a forum with which to gain ideas and materials...but it's up and down like a yoyo.

[Colezy]

Some of you might remember that Sarah and I did some street teaming earlier this year, right after the current tour was announced. Man that seems like ages ago! I know that sarah has done some before..a few years back though.
It's probably the only 2 times that Hobart and Launnie has been TLE-street-teamed!
And if they come back again, I'm sure we will plaster the place with posters all over again!

[The Dying Start]

Yeah, you did alright down there in whatsername island.

[Jonesie]

I've been whoring out the boys on my Campus Radio Show.

I played Nothing Lasts Forever last night.

[The Dying Start]

Nice one Jonesie. You should post more, we miss you!

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

I still wear my street team shirt from whenever it was sometimes. And I have my street team card in my wallet...Maybe i should get rid of that.

[The Dying Start]

No. You must use it as ID.

[Sarah]

yeah, and i went to goo trying to explain to Chris where i got my jacket from when he was signing it.

Sarah: 'Well, the last competition for the street team that they...um, you guys, um, yeah, had...and *cracks up laughing* *takes deep breath*...and, um, the person who did the best job won the jacket...

and i did the best job'

Mr CC: 'So its rare!'


oh dear....i don't think i explained that too well...damn those eyes :P


yeah, you don't need to have an official street team to promote the band, but i think it does make you feel part of something, makes you feel important :)

[AlinaPOW]

yeah, you don't need to have an official street team to promote the band, but i think it does make you feel part of something, makes you feel important :)

*bing bing bing*

[The Dying Start]

Unfortunately feeling important costs the band thousands of dollars.

[Caity]

I did some unofficial street teaming for the Cairns gig - nobody else was gonna put up posters now, were they? :p So there's posters scattered round Cairns - on Coke machines, on shop windows (there are some nice shop people ;) ), on poles, on bus stops ....

[deano1337]

ooo ill do that! you can count on me! within a day Perth will be living end central

[The Dying Start]

Nice one Deano. Do us proud!

[Jonesie]

Nice one Jonesie. You should post more, we miss you!


Yeah I know, but first year of College, so I've been busy and such.

[The Dying Start]

Your priorities are all messed up :D

[Tle89]

i'd love to be part of a TLE Street team official or unofficial i always love to get out there and support them and i have a mate at JB HIFI that i could give posters and flyers to for people to take and look at than he left that job.
But yeh count me in i'll do it.

[The Dying Start]

Go do it then. You have my permission.

[hillaas]

Can i ask who puts out all the posters that i see around the streets these days?

[The Dying Start]

Can i ask who puts out all the posters that i see around the streets these days?

The big ones? Coz i dunno either. One turned up real close to my house where i've never seen the big bill posters before...i was shocked and appauled. :P

[hillaas]

Maybe its like the record company's street team (if they have one) or the touring company.

Anyway - i'll be in on an official or non-offical ST if one is made.

[Sarah]

I found it odd that tour posters were made for the tassie leg of the tour, but i never saw any on the streets (besides the ones we put up). i guess it was for silly people like me to buy :P cos i know there were official posters up in other parts of the country!

[Caity]

I put some up here in Cairns, as I said, but what confused me was that there were some up anyway - I'm thinking maybe someone from the venue did it?

[Disease]

I think some of the venues hire poster goons.

[The Dying Start]

I think the promoters probably do.

[AlinaPOW]

Unfortunately feeling important costs the band thousands of dollars.

I am AWARE of that. Waddya think we've been discussing? I'd like to feel important unofficialy. As in i would enjoy being in a group of people who go around unofficially street teaming as opposed to going around as a loner. That's my two cents.

[mel_bound]

Should we make some posters for the DVD and go out on a poster run sometime?

[AlinaPOW]

I like your thinking Mel-malade!
Do we have a decent sized image of the image anywhere? And should we ask Rae's permission first?

[AlinaPOW]

Shit. What i just said made no sense. I meant do we have a decent sized image of the COVER.

[mel_bound]

So that cover that's been floating around is the cover? We should probably ask permission, don't want to get in TLE's bad books for something like this. But I doubt it, tis free publicity for the band afterall! I wanna get designing.. wooo

[Julian]

It would be cool if they sold Street Team packs on the site or something. Chuck a bunch of posters and flyers in and a shirt. It'd be easier for me to buy them of the band rather then find a decent printer then photocopy heaps at my school, I bet i'd get in trouble for doing that even though it's my money.

[AlinaPOW]

Well its the only cover we've seen at the moment. Would you like me to email Mrs. Harvey and ask her
a) if that's alright and
b) if that's the correct image
'coz yeah, posting up a bunch of posters with the wrong image wouldn't go down to well i'd imagine.

oooh, i'm excited now!

Well once again, that's their money...
Although, yeah, that'd be pretty rad

[Julian]

Yeh but I just reckon having a Street Team shirt would be super cool :D

I am also excited :)

[AlinaPOW]

Oooh oooh oooh! Logging onto hotmail now!

[AlinaPOW]

Yeh but I just reckon having a Street Team shirt would be super cool :D

Oh yeah! Wear THAT with pride!

[RollOn]

For the record I'd love to be part of a TLE street team!

[Julian]

Come to think of it I have alot of internet/photocopy credit at school that will go to waste at the end of the year so I might get of my ass and do something in these holidays :D

[mel_bound]

Come to think of it I have alot of internet/photocopy credit at school that will go to waste at the end of the year so I might get of my ass and do something in these holidays :D

me too, I have $25 of print cred and I'm leaving the school at the end of the last term.. excellent!

[AlinaPOW]

Okey dokes...
How's this look? (this is the email to Rae)...

Howdy!
A few of us forumers were thinking of perhaps getting busy with some unofficial street teaming for the upcoming dvd but we didn't want to go and do anything without recieving the A-OK from you. If we've got your permission, we were wondering if the image that appears on sanity and ezydvd and JB, etc. websites is the final cover?

-Alina

[AlinaPOW]

For the record I'd love to be part of a TLE street team!

Your in! :P

[Colezy]

The image that has been floating around is also on the TLE main website page, so I guess its the right one.

[mel_bound]

Sounds good Alina :D
oh I'm excitededted. Although I'm sick and then have plans until the weekend, so when should we do this? hhehe.

[The Dying Start]

It's a bit late to be changing it now, that's for sure!

[Bec]

Sounds good Alina :D
oh I'm excitededted. Although I'm sick and then have plans until the weekend, so when should we do this? hhehe.

On the weekend perhaps?

[mel_bound]

Yeppers, sounds good. I'm up for that, can *I* make a design? pleeeeeese? :p

[RollOn]

Your in! :P

Cheers Alina, when do I recieve my official welcome pack?! lol
Let me know times and dates I'll be there with bells on, well maybe not bells but will aussie flag print boardies be good enough?

[RollOn]

Yeppers, sounds good. I'm up for that, can *I* make a design? pleeeeeese? :p

Only if you use this photo Mel:
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j114/tlefan/TLE%20Tent/andy10.jpg


haha imagine all of Melbourne seeing that! But photoshop it so it's the DVD cover or something?
Hmm lemme know what you think. I don't have photoshop on here and i'm not waiting 2 hours for the "main" computer to load up.

[mel_bound]

hahaha I dunno! I'm sure I could make it look like he's holding the DVD cover.. I'll have to do it tomorrow, gotta go now.

[Jodez]

Thats a cooooooooooool idea. If only they had been done now, i could have put them around the melbourne showgrounds lol

[Ally]

We should probobly do it on Sunday because the city will be packed on Saturday for the Grand Final. Plus.. I have plans on Saturday. :p

[RollOn]

Oh I forgot about the AFL grand final. I don't really care now that my dockers aren't in it anymore.

Sunday would be a much better day as train tickets are cheaper, mum is reluctant to buy me anything else at the moment (including metcards) because of how much she spent on me in Surfers.

So Alina have you had the OK from Rae yet or should I hold off on the rolls of giant sticky tape buying for now?!

[TLE_rok]

ok im just a little slow only coz I moved last week and only just got the net!
a ST sounds awesome!
count me in!!

[Erin]

i'll join, i'll do voting things as i can't really go anywhere :)

[*M!]

i'll do anything to get their name out there...

so it will pretty much be like what i do every day anyway...

*M!

[Jodez]

I should join random forums and what not and just PLUG PLUG PLUG lol ive already done that

[deano1337]

we should have a teeshirt for everyday of the week :D ill get designing :cool:

[deano1337]

you know how the old shirts said "we do a lot of work and we dont get paid"
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/deano1337/c0_1.jpg
our new ones should say "too much work and not enough pay"
:) "god, my brilliance is becoming a bit a burden :rolleyes:

[AlinaPOW]

Well i just got a reply back from Rae. She's always pretty short in her replies but i think its all A-Okay and she's posting the final cover art in a myspazz bulletin today.

Nice ponderings for the tshirts.
I was thinking plain white shirts with the bass guitar and drums logo on the front and then a slogan of some sort on the back. Eh? Eh?

[mel_bound]

About shirts... where would we get the shirts and print them and stuff? I dunno if it could really happen... and no I can't make any shirts. Too difficult.

But yay for making flyers! :D

[AlinaPOW]

Its called the magic of Sharpie + boredom Mel. Easy!

[AlinaPOW]

Still no myspazz bulletin, but we do have this...

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i133/llama_on_film/splashDVD06.gif

[AlinaPOW]

Which pretty much requires no designing on our behalf- its all there!

I am getting very excited about the prospect of us all heading out on the town armed with flyers and sticky tape for a day or two- fun fun!

[Jodez]

I hope they realise just how DEDICATED we all are

[mel_bound]

Its called the magic of Sharpie + boredom Mel. Easy!

I don't mean the words on the shirt, I mean the actual cloth shirt! :p

[Ally]

Who makes shirts these days?! Buy some cheap ones from Kmart or something.

[mel_bound]

Yeah but if we do the shirt thing, how are we gonna do it? Charge a person the cost of the shirt or something? hehe. Free labour.

*edit* or just make one if you want one :p

[Ally]

Or we could all just make our own? That's what I'm planning on doing. Or are they all going to be the same/similar?

[mel_bound]

If they were gonna be 'street team' shirts then there probably should be some kind of similarity.. but meh. hheehe.

[Ally]

Well we could all make our own but use a similar design or something. That can be my project for tomorrow or Friday.

[The Dying Start]

It's funny that this should be brought up. I've had plans for the Boarder tshirt for a while. I even have designs, but I've been holding off until i get more time to suss options. Anyway, it wasn't gonna be a street team shirt as such, but rather just a TLE Forum shirt to wear at shows and such so it's like one big crew of us.

Anyway, that might surface in the future too!

[ace_jase]

Someone could make a design, which everyone could print onto that special t-shirt transfer paper stuff, and apply it to their own shirt
________
affair Webcams (http://www.girlcamfriend.com/webcam/housewives/)
________
SkyLilu4u live (http://camslivesexy.com/cam/SkyLilu4u)

[*M!]

oooh - i want a forumers shirt AND i want a street team shirt...

Ace Jase's idea isn't a bad one - depends on how well the t-shirt transfer paper works and what type of printer everyone has...

umm...

maybe someone doing fine arts at uni or something (maybe just someone who has access to that sort of equipment) could do up a silk screen and they could be printed that way - but that would limit the numbers of colours that could be printed...

anyway /$0.02

*M!

[deano1337]

Someone could make a design, which everyone could print onto that special t-shirt transfer paper stuff, and apply it to their own shirt

thats a really good idea! if we have a transfer print. like i think you iron it on but we could have a black and white one so you could but your own teeshirt and put it on that

[*M!]

and that way everyone would have a t-shirt that was guaranteed to fit them too!

and it could be pretty much any colour... (the shirt and the print - if you know hot to use photoshop or whatever properly...)

*M!

[Ally]

I say that the design is something simple. I'm planning on doing mine with a sharpie and if I have time, going down to Spotlight and getting myself some paint. Is anyone going to design this baby? I won't because I don't have Photoshop, that and my creative skills are terrible.

[*M!]

i'd volunteer my services but i'm scared i'd be shouted down for dumb designisms!

:p

what should go on it?

*M!

[Ally]

I don't even know what's planning to go on it. Probobly just the basics "The Living End Street Team", maybe put 2006 on there. Then if anyone's feeling creative enough we can whack a picture on there.

[RollOn]

I'm terrible at designing but if you guys like I can take a picture of the DVD cover into my local shop that prints stuff onto t-shirts and see how much it'd be to get a couple made up?

Lemme know what sizes and stuff if anyone's interested and I'll let you guys know how much they'll be. Normally cheaper the more we get!

[*M!]

ok - i am officially volunteering at least one idea for the shirt

we could get a couple of the talented people on the board to do some and then vote on them here perhaps...

Lauren's idea of taking them somewhere to get printed isn't entirely bad as they'd at least be "uniform" but i suppose it's dependent on how much we're all willing to pay...

does anyone have any font preferences?

*M!

[Ally]

I'd much rather make my own shirt. I don't have much money to spend so I was just going to pick up a cheap, plain tshirt and use what I have at home.

For the font, the one used on State of Emergency is Wide something Latin.

[Erin]

yeah, besides, i couldn't have payed for a shirt. no one knows me or where i live

[*M!]

i think my local harvey norman prints photos on to t-shirts for like $25 or something...

maybe everyone should check at their local HN to see if they also do them and then everyone could just take the same file down to their locals and say - hey - print this!

the shirts aren't anything spectacular though from what i remember...

*M!

[Erin]

my printer's fucked...seriously

[RollOn]

Does anyone know where you get that transfer paper from then?

Gee my idea got canned, was only trying to make 'em look nice. I'll go look for another black t-shirt to print onto today and someone can make me a design!

[Erin]

you can buy transfer paper anywhere can't you?

[Bec]

I'm not entirely sure how to do it but it's supposedly not too hard to make a t-shirt, like with a stencil and then fabric paintish stuff. So if someone makes the stencil design on the computer, then everyone can print and cut it out themselves and make it into a t-shirt?
I dunno how well that transfer papery type stuff works, doesn't it come off quite easily if it's not done professionally?

[Erin]

i have a t-shirt that i transfered a picture onto....

its crap...seriously, we didn't know what we were doing.

[RollOn]

you can buy transfer paper anywhere can't you?

Thanks I'll just to my local supercheap auto and pick it up then. :P
Everything auto and much much more.


You said anywhere!!

OK, so if someone can make a stencil I'm all up for painting it on! :D

[Erin]

i suuuuuure did

and i waaaaaaaalked straaaaight into that one :D

[*M!]

i saw a pink hammer in super cheap auto once!

i wanted it!

this post has nothing to do with the street team

and stencils are hard to cut out!

*M!

[AlinaPOW]

our new ones should say "too much work and not enough pay"
:) "god, my brilliance is becoming a bit a burden :rolleyes:

Doesn't that sound a tad ungrateful?

[RollOn]

I thought the same thing but didn't wanna sound negative about it all.
I'll have a look for something else now, if at all possible the slogan should come from state of emergency as it was the most recent album (yeah state the obvious Lauren) plus we're doing this in 2006 so yeah....

[NowhereTown]

I can make a design if you want me to...


I know you can get the transfer paper stuff from a place called IT werehouse

[RollOn]

I can make a design if you want me to...


I know you can get the transfer paper stuff from a place called IT werehouse

Yeah, if I was in Andylaide!! Thanks anyway. I think officeworks might have some. I'll get that if no one makes a stencil.

[Ally]

Someone (sorry, can't remember who) mentioned everyone having a go at a design and then we can choose which one we think is best. I'll have a go at making a design but it won't be very good, hehe.

[*M!]

alright Lauren - get on the quote finding mission i'm sure there'll be something appropriate somewhere

also - officeworks sells transfer paper too

*M!

[*M!]

Someone (sorry, can't remember who) mentioned everyone having a go at a design and then we can choose which one we think is best. I'll have a go at making a design but it won't be very good, hehe.

*raises hand*

that was me who suggested it Ally!

i think it's the best way to find a design that most people will like...

*shrugs*

i can't wait to see what everyone who's bored enough to do on comes up with! :p

*M!

[Ally]

Sorry *M! I couldn't be bothered going back and reading through old posts, haha. I think it's a good idea, everyone will have a say in what the design looks like and wether they like it or not.

[*M!]

ahah - that's totally understandable - i just remembered that's how all the cool T-shirt designs i've ever seen have been decided in the past!

should it say unofficial street team?

or will we/i leave out the unofficial?

*M!

[Erin]

the official living end street team- 'We just don’t wanna fake it
Anymore'

...how's the quotes goin lauren?

[AlinaPOW]

My hand was shaking for no good reason the whole time i drew this, actually, i have my reasons but i wont disclose them but anyway, simple but methinks effective...

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i133/llama_on_film/untitled-1.jpg

Although i'm not very happy with the back, i actually wanted to put Unofficial Street Team but i didn't know how good that'd look.
All that is easily done with a sharpie. Just print out the logo, put it under the tshirt and trace away!

[Erin]

its a good start, i should try my hand at one...

[Ally]

Can we make suggestions to other people's designs? Because I think Alina's looks good, simple yet effective, but maybe we could write "Street Team" under the logo on the front.

I tried downloading the Wide Latin font but every website I went to asked for money or linked me to websites that wanted money. I downloaded one but it doesn't work.

[Erin]

here's mine

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h247/little_gypsy_girl/shirt.jpg

[Bec]

Hmm, do you think it would work if we had a photo on it, maybe we could do that thing to it where you make the picture just black and white (like on the tour poster for the gigs in may)
I dunno, it might not look good..

The designs are looking great so far :)

[*M!]

I tried downloading the Wide Latin font but every website I went to asked for money or linked me to websites that wanted money. I downloaded one but it doesn't work.

i may be able to help you out Ally - read your PMs! :D

Niiiiiiiiiiice!

[The Dying Start]

You should just do up a design and then anyone who wants the tshirt should go buy a plain one from target and take the tshirt and the design to their local tshirt screen printer and have it done.

[*M!]

it costs about the same for set up at a local screen printer if they print 1 or 100 shirts though Glenn - that's part of the problem

the other part is:

i don't have a local screen printer so *wah*

*M!

[AlinaPOW]

If they've got the cash that is.
I still stand by my good friend Sharpie.

[The Dying Start]

it costs about the same for set up at a local screen printer if they print 1 or 100 shirts though Glenn - that's part of the problem

the other part is:

i don't have a local screen printer so *wah*

*M!

So go print 100 and flog them off at cost price+postage. Done!

[AlinaPOW]

yeah but the whole point was to have minimum cost!

[Ally]

So after all that fussing about, trying to find a Wide Latin font, then finally getting one from *M!, I never actually used it. I reckon it looks good though. I'm just trying to keep in mind that we'll be drawing these on to shirts so I didn't want to make anything to fancy.

sweeeet :D

[AlinaPOW]

I like i like. Go Team Rust! Yep, you and your mum are a team now i've decided. But that's beside the point...
Are we gonna be drawing on that big blank bit at the front, under "The Living End Street Team" By the by, love the use of the official TLE writing/logo!

[Caity]

I like that shirt above.
If I can be bothered, I'll try if you like? or is it purely a Melbourne thing? :p

[Ally]

That depends on what you're planning on drawing?

I just had a clever idea, football jerseys, with our nicknames/usernames on the back and a number 23. Eh? Eh?

[The Dying Start]

On white? Gah!

I refuse to wear white.

[Ally]

I suppose the shirt could be any colour you want. I know I won't be wearing white. The design was just on white to make it easier for printing and what not.

[AlinaPOW]

On white? Gah!

I refuse to wear white.

You're such a prima donna or whatever they call 'em!!

Whites the easiest. And if were to actually print them, they actually charge a lot more for designs printed on dark tshirts than lighter tshirts. I checked.

[The Dying Start]

White sucks donkey balls.

[AlinaPOW]

I could write a witty and original comeback but i won't.

[*M!]

here's my attempt...

http://cudgegonggallery.com.au/Images/images/tle_m/streetteam.jpg

it's on red so that it wasn't on white - that is the only reason

*M!

[Ally]

Oh wow! I really like that one *M!

[*M!]

thanks Ally :)

the blobs that are on it are from a new font i downloaded today - i really like it - hooray for splatter!

*M!

[Ally]

The blobs would be easy to do with just some paint and a brush, or a toothbrush for more of a splatter effect.

[AlinaPOW]

Woot, red!!
All in favour of a red tshirt?

"Aye"

[*M!]

aye

(plus most people look rather good in red)

*M!

[Caity]

Here's my attempt. The idea though, would be to have it on a collared shirt - just for something different...
I couldn't find collared shirts so I stole the one above :p

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v498/monarogurl/TShirt-Front.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v498/monarogurl/TShirt-Back.jpg

[*M!]

only problem with printing on black is it's a lot more expensive to print on... unfortunately

plus it's a bit difficult to do it yourself on to a black T

*M!

[The Dying Start]

here's my attempt...

http://cudgegonggallery.com.au/Images/images/tle_m/streetteam.jpg

it's on red so that it wasn't on white - that is the only reason

*M!

That tee has boobs! AWESOME!

[Caity]

Get those crazy laminate stuff that's on most shirts - they're not that expensive i don't think.
It could work the other way - red collared shirt with black stuff.

[mel_bound]

Woot, red!!
All in favour of a red tshirt?

"Aye"

Aye!

and these designs are pretty sweet!

I'm not too keen on the 'Too much work, and not enough pay'.. like someone said it makes us seem kinda ungrateful, but where I've got that written I could put some other lyrics, I just couldn't think of any that would fit off the top of my head, and that space looked really empty.

oh and Aye!

[Erin]

am i the only person who looks bad in red....

meh, Aye!!!
btw..nice t-shirt bec :p

[*M!]

oh - Bec - that shirt would be sweet!

i'd probably prefer the text that you have around the neck on the back or on the arm though...

*M!

[Bec]

Thanks
I like red :p
But it wouldn't really bother me what colour, just I'd prefer not black (I have too much black stuff, plus it gets really hot in summer) and not white... because I don't like white.
You could make yours a different colour if you want Erin, just depends on the colour t-shirt you buy!

[Caity]

No one appreciates my work *sulks*

[Erin]

said who caity??

your t-shirt is awesome, i like it a lot :)

[Bec]

oh - Bec - that shirt would be sweet!

i'd probably prefer the text that you have around the neck on the back or on the arm though...

*M!

Hmm, yeah that might look good
I just wasn't sure what to put there, because it looked empty
And it looked better with the picture down the bottom than in the middle.

I appreciate your work Caity! I said all the t-shirts look great
Somewhere

[*M!]

i agree with your picture looking better on the bottom of the shirt...

it would look cool on the back of the shirt too probably... but anyway...

i have another (somewhat lame) design...
http://cudgegonggallery.com.au/Images/images/tle_m/streetteam2.jpghttp://cudgegonggallery.com.au/Images/images/tle_m/streetteam2b.jpg

i don't really like this one as much but thought i'd share it with you all anyway!

*M!

[mel_bound]

hehe nice. Shame there's no white permanent textas.. or is there..? oooh!

[Bec]

Oooh I really like that one *M!

Don't really like this one as much but I was bored and made it so I thought I may as well post it

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y278/swizzleh/t-shirtsmall4copy.jpg

I should make it so there isn't all that white around it but I'm lazy

[*M!]

hehe nice. Shame there's no white permanent textas.. or is there..? oooh!

there's white paint though Mel :p (isn't there? :p)

Oooh I really like that one *M!

Don't really like this one as much but I was bored and made it so I thought I may as well post it

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y278/swizzleh/t-shirtsmall4copy.jpg

thanks Bec - i like yours too - that photo of them is one of my favourites! :D

*M!

[Erin]

hehehe, i want that one :p

[Bec]

I vote for *M!'s so far I think.
Are we gonna actually have a poll on this or something?
Or just generally decide what we think would work best/combine some ideas or something.
Or maybe we could have a couple of designs if people disagree?

[Colezy]

Anyone looking for fonts could try www.dafont.com
I like a few of those designs, guys! Awesome. If its not a Melbourne only thing, I'd join in for sure. I've already done some TLE street teaming this year, so why not continue!!

[*M!]

haha - i'm not from melbourne - why have i been "wasting my time" doing designs if it's only a Melbourne thing?!

as for fonts:
http://www.abstractfonts.com/
and
http://www.1001fonts.com/

they're both pretty good for free fonts

*M!

[Bec]

Yeah, definately not just a Melbourne thing. It'd be cool if we had people all over the world with these t-shirts to spread the TLE love :D

[Colezy]

Oh yeah. Woops!! :p
Ohhh thanks for the websites!

[*M!]

i particularly like all the dinbats and dingfonts on some of thos sites colezy

i had some more bookmarked at one stage - i'm a fontaholic!

they're useful sites for work

i have about 1,500 here! :D

*M!

[NowhereTown]

if anyone cares the font they use for the living end writing is Stereofidelic or something like that. search dafont.com, its not exact but its close enough.
thats where i got mine from.

oh and Aye!

I said the 'ungrateful' thing.
Your shirt design is awesome! I love the image! But perhaps the big blank space above it is a good thing? I'm not sure i'm a fan of the curvy writing...

I like all these "Aye" responses.
I think red it is!

[Bec]

Thanks! Yeah on second thoughts I don't the writing much, and *M! (I think it was *M! anyway) doesn't like it either, so consider the writing scrapped

[Erin]

we should write our names on them :D

[Bec]

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y278/swizzleh/t-shirtsmall2copy.jpg

There it is without the writing. Maybe we could put our names on the back, like the football thingy Ally suggested. For those of you who can't be bothered looking back a page: I just had a clever idea, football jerseys, with our nicknames/usernames on the back and a number 23. Eh? Eh?

[*M!]

on the board shirt we should all have our member name on them!

and yeah - it was me who suggested some alternative places for the writing on yours bec!

*M!

[Erin]

yeah!!

i'm for it :D

its the big 900 post!! whooo!

i really don't have a life...

[AlinaPOW]

Yep, i like it without the writing but the writing on the back is a swell idea!

[Colezy]

Yes! That's a great idea!! :D
I have a few tops with my name on the back...each of them with a different name! :p

[Bec]

Something like this?

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y278/swizzleh/t-shirtfrontandbackcopy.jpg

I used Ally as an example since she came up with the original idea for it. If other people have better ideas feel free to suggest or make them :)
I also changed the font on the drum to the normal tle font.

[*M!]

the only problem i'd have with a footy jersey is that it's not very gig friendly - too hot and i can't show off my rack enough :p

for the board one, i reckon we should all do a drawing of ourselves like we had to in kindy and then they all get put on the back of a shirt like that (with our screen names underneath)

the front could be a bit more of a challenge...

*M!

[Bec]

Ooh that's a great idea *M!
though how would we do that easily with stencils/however we're going to do it?

[Colezy]

Something like this?

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y278/swizzleh/t-shirtfrontandbackcopy.jpg

I used Ally as an example since she came up with the original idea for it. If other people have better ideas feel free to suggest or make them :)
I also changed the font on the drum to the normal tle font.

Maybe with the name and 23 above the TLE logo?? And a tad smaller?

[AlinaPOW]

That's awesome Bec. Quick question, why does Ally get 23? IIIII want 23!!

[AlinaPOW]

Failing 23 i would be happy with 45673837437482332984823463864848.

Yeah, a tad smaller perhaps? You're on a roll Bec!

[Erin]

i want 666

or 38

[AlinaPOW]

I have 666 on the back of my home made Zombie Ghost Train shirt.
Because Captain Reckless wrote it there :D

[*M!]

maybe we should just have the year number on the back - i mean we'd all like our own personalised one but it might get too difficult...

failing that i think i'd want either 4 or 20

or (infinity symbol) or (Pi symbol)

*M!

[AlinaPOW]

But obviously the year would be easiest.
A nice round 2006. Easy.

[NowhereTown]

here is my attempt at a design. i have a bigger verson if it is needed. I might be abit hard to do with a stancel but iron on might be ok...
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y206/dementeddingo/tee.jpg

also i found this site. http://community.livejournal.com/craftgrrl/3674467.html

havnt tried that out yet but im gonna soon

[mel_bound]

Phi? hahaha

i'd go 7 or something.

[Bec]

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y278/swizzleh/t-shirtfrontandbackdifferent.jpg

There it is smaller and swapped around a bit
Ally doesn't necesairily get 23, just I thought for a number to use for an example it may as well be 23. We can all fight over numbers later :p

Or should I do the 2006 thing?

[*M!]

also i found this site. http://community.livejournal.com/craftgrrl/3674467.html

havnt tried that out yet but im gonna soon

hey - that's a pretty clever idea!

thanks for sharing it!

let me/us know what happens if/when you try it!

*M!

[NowhereTown]

if anyone missed it my design is back up there^^^

[AlinaPOW]

oooh oooh i like Nowhere Town's too! AARGH! Too many creative minds at work! Basically i'll be happy with whatever is chosen. Although, Bec's IS very tempting...

[Ally]

That's awesome Bec. Quick question, why does Ally get 23? IIIII want 23!!

I suggested that we all have 23, mine was just an example.

[AlinaPOW]

Shhh! We're past that now :P

[Bec]

Ooh I like yours Nowhere Town :) (Sorry I don't know your name)

oooh oooh i like Nowhere Town's too! AARGH! Too many creative minds at work! Basically i'll be happy with whatever is chosen. Although, Bec's IS very tempting...

Thankyou :) If we can't choose one design there's nothing to stop us making a few different types, but maybe if we keep them similar? Like they could all have the same back or something?

[Ally]

also i found this site. http://community.livejournal.com/craftgrrl/3674467.html

havnt tried that out yet but im gonna soon

I've done that before, only on paper and with a proper screen. Instead of drawing the design and putting glue where you don't want the ink to go, you cut a stencil out and put the screen on top and then the ink goes through the screen and stencil and onto your shirt. Kinda hard to explain but I know how to do it easy. :)

[NowhereTown]

i told my art teacher about that and she said you can use crayons to colour in the areas instead of glue. but that will give it a more grunge texture


for those that dont know my name, its jarrad.

[RollOn]

Bec, I love your design. Not sure how the hell we'd manage to print it on though.

For the record I want number 42 :p

[mel_bound]

I want 69 LOL!!!111


joking :p
wow.. I haven't said LOL in a very long time.. Anyway!

Nice designs and stuff people! Are we gonna vote, or we all just have different shirts? :p

[Watty]

Wow I like the idea of us all having shirts! And Mel I think you should have a vote!! :cool:

[RollOn]

I think we should vote as it's gonna look a little tacky and unplanned if we all have different t-shirts.
Well thats what I think anyway!

[hillaas]

Can someone tell me whats exactly happening? From what i have read is that there people in the street team will get t-shirts with numbers on the back? Is this right? And is there gonna be an unofficial street team?

[RollOn]

Also, when the hell are we doing this?

[Bec]

I think we're doing the street teaming on sunday, I dunno if we'd be able to have the t-shirts ready by then but it would be cool if we could.
Did anyone else want to submit a t-shirt or should we have a vote now?
And should we make a new thread with a poll or just say in here which one we want?
And it doesn't have to be numbers on the back, we could do little pictures or something... or stick figures of people? I dunno
Also do you think on the back we should mention something about the street team or the website/forum?

[RollOn]

It should contain the forum address I think.

Sunday is fantastic. I don't think my t-shirt will be ready by then. I'm going with your design Bec. I can't design very well so I might give you the money for my tee and you could do it for me please? I want it to look good so don't ask me, I sew through my own finger.haha
hey look Andy, I even sewed through my own finger "aaawww"

[Bec]

Ahh don't look at me, I have no idea how to actually make the t-shirts
I just photoshopped!
But if I do mine and it turns out okay I can do yours.
and thanks :D I feel special that something I designed might turn into a t-shirt that heaps of people have.

[Bec]

With the forum url on the back (the font will be clearer when it's an actual t-shirt size, it looked bad just in a plain font)

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y278/swizzleh/t-shirtfrontandbackdifferentforumco.jpg

[Ally]

Just a suggestion for the voting. Can we pleeeeease choose a design that doesn't have a giant picture on it. Something easy that can be drawn on in marker will be easy for everyone. Or maybe some people could have professional, screen printed ones and others have a sharpie one because I'm not planning on getting mine made professionally.

In other news, I'm going shopping for a tee tomorrow arvo'.

[RollOn]

Bec, that looks ab-fab but could you please show me what'd look like with the forum URL around the back of the neck. As in like curved around the back if you get what I mean.
I'd like to see both then I can decide what I wanna vote on.

Having the URL curved around the neck would make the name and number bit look less "busy" and clutered :)

EDIT: I haven't even asked mum if I can get a plain tee yet. After everything she's bought me lately I think she'd chuck a spazz. I might just get one quietly tomorrow when I call in to work!

[Bec]

I know in art at my school we were gonna make t-shirts, but then our teacher didn't like us so he wouldn't let us, buuuuuut that means our school has the equipment needed to make them, so when we go back I can talk to one of the art teachers about it and see if I can make a few for people at lunch time.
I don't think it would cost anything other than the price of the t-shirt itself.

[Erin]

i think i'll just grab an old shirt and use a sharpie, or i'll make something for meeee :D

[Bec]

Like this Lauren?
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y278/swizzleh/t-shirtfrontandbackcurvedurlcopy.jpg

Would sharpie stay on in the wash or fade?

[Ally]

Sharpies are pretty good, but of course they fade after a while. I'm not sure about Scotchguard and if you can use it on clothes, but I'm sure there would be a product for keeping it on during the wash. I've been reading a diy forum the last couple of days and I read something about sharpies staying on for at least a couple of months, even in the wash.

[RollOn]

Yes like that Bec, thankyou. Although I'm very sorry but I think I like the previous one better!!!
haha I'm so sorry to have wasted your time doing that!

To answer your question, yes sharpie does stay on. We've already dicussed how many times I've washed my shirt that I got signed at JB.

[Bec]

That's okay! I do too.
A couple of months is pretty good, and good point about the t-shirt Lauren
Did anybody other than me actually want to do one of the more complicated designs or should we stick with the simple sharpie ones?

[hillaas]

I'm so lost?!?!?

Whats happening on sunday and what's the deal with the tops?

[Bec]

Nothing has really been organised yet
I think we've vaguely decided to go street teaming on sunday but haven't organised anything further than that
And I'm not sure what's gonna happen with the tops, depends what people want really.

[RollOn]

aaaw poor Andre. I'll let the others explain as I'm a tad lost too.


Bec I might do a simple design on a black polo with my silver paint marker.
By the way Bec, can you please send me the bass/guitar/drum logo and I'll show you my design when I'm done. I'm sick of black tees so want a polo.

[mel_bound]

haha we need fliers! hahaha... I guess our new fangled laser printer can run off a few...

[hillaas]

Well im not goin ot ur shindig on sunday cos im busy (i dont think i was invited but anyway). I'll just keep reading this thread and keep up with what's happening for now.

[Bec]

Mel sent me the logo and I didn't save it other than the version that's on my t-shirt design, so you should ask her, sorry

[RollOn]

haha we need fliers! hahaha... I guess our new fangled laser printer can run off a few...

Oooo Mel, swanky printer!!
Remember you need to use the picture I took of Andy haha
That'd look so cool and it'd get peope's attention!

[RollOn]

Meeeeeeeeeellll I need the bass/guitar/drum logo please!!

[Bec]

Just wondering, is it ok to go posting a non official picture of Andy around the city and stuff.. like I reckon it'd look cool, but maybe you should get permission first? I dunno, just something seems a bit weird about it.

[mel_bound]

yeah I dunno about the picture...

logo (http://www.thelivingend.com/2006/tatts/dnblogo.jpg)

[RollOn]

What permission from myself? I took it!!! haha
Yes I'll shoot off an e-mail to Rae, what should I write? "Hi, here's my own photo I took, is it OK if I use it?" that is gonna sound so stupid though!
Before we use it/if we use it, can you put my name on it please, I want some credit for that! haha

[Bec]

Nah, I dunno it just seems weird. I know you took the photo, but it's more the fact that andy is in the photo and unaware that you're gonna spread this photo around, but then I guess it's no different to spreading it on the internet so I think I'll shut up now.

With the t-shirts, if anyone was going for the sharpies just because they don't know how to make a t-shirt/too expensive or whatever, I can try and do some myself for people (I'd just need you to supply the t-shirts) because I think I can use the equipment at my school, and probably steal some of their paint too. But I'll have to check into that when I go back to school if anybody does still want to go with the printed t-shirt idea (not just mine, any of the ones which would be more complicated than the sharpie ones.. I still like *M!'s)

I'll be in that idea, you'll need to supply me with your addressing details again as I forgot them. haha
I'll buy a polo shirt tomorrow.

[mel_bound]

help! It's too blandddd

I'm thinking (http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/8641/fliervg3.gif) 2 to a page...

[RollOn]

help! It's too blandddd

I'm thinking (http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/8641/fliervg3.gif) 2 to a page...

That's very nice Mel, except it just needs.....something. Gah I can't think at the moment but it needs something else there.
Try putting white writing over the DVD cover?

[Bec]

That looks great Mel, except something funky happened to the H in THE, or maybe that's just my computer.
Maybe do mostly two to a page and then a few full page ones?

[mel_bound]

that thing in the H is that backwards P in microsoft word :p
As for white writing, what do you mean Lauren?


bah I love this new font ^_^ hahaha

[RollOn]

Whee I'm buying some sticky tape tomorrow. The thick stuff that is.
How much will we need?
Also are you sure that Rae is OK with us plastering the city or wherever it is that we go!?

EDIT, Mel I mean like make the whole thing the DVD cover then put the words over that. Does that make sense?

[mel_bound]

well Alina got the thumbs up from Rae for something.. can't remember what though!

I don't really wanna stretch the picture any more because it will print out all pixelated.. not a good look!!

[Ally]

I saved Mel's flyer and made some changes. The font for the words down the bottom is only temporary because I don't have the "arrow" font on my computer.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/Alison7272/DVDFlyerAlly.gif

[Bec]

Ooh that's a smart idea to mention the singles Ally!

[mel_bound]

Cool, thanks for the ideas... still needs.. something!! argh! :p
a border!?

[Ally]

There's already a grey border around the edges Mel..

[RollOn]

well Alina got the thumbs up from Rae for something.. can't remember what though!

I don't really wanna stretch the picture any more because it will print out all pixelated.. not a good look!!

Ah ok, well it was just an idea to try and space it out! You have photoshop right?
There is a tool there that can stretch pictures out without them getting pixelated.
Hang on I'll ask my brother what the control for it is.
Hold down the shift key, grab the corner of the image with your mouse and drag the image to the size you want.
It should make image larger without wrecking the perspective. From the moment that you click off the image- Photoshop will automatically adjust the image resolution to make it not pixelated. Give it a go as I think the flyer needs to be bigger :)

My brother wrote most of that for you as I wouldn't have a clue! I don't have photoshop on here, but he uses it alot on the other computer so knows what he's talking about if you wish to try that! :)

[Bec]

That makes the perspective stay the same, but it will still pixelate the image a bit if it's larger than the actual image size. Plus that'd use a heap of ink to print out, so it would probably look better if we could afford good quality paper and such. I personally reckon it looks good with the white around the edges, makes the writing stand out more.

[AlinaPOW]

Whee I'm buying some sticky tape tomorrow. The thick stuff that is.

Its cool, i already emailed her.

[RollOn]

Its cool, i already emailed her.

Cheers Alina. I have good quality photo paper here but I'm not allowed to use alot of it.
Actually scrap that, my bro says it pretty shit quality but still better than normal paper.
I can use it if you'd like though and I have to replace it after. When we've decided on a final design just e-mail me the design and I'll print it out on the main computer, it may take a while though!! Damn thingm is sooo slow.

[mel_bound]

eh? (http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/4391/flyinggn9.gif)

I'm assembling this in Microsoft Word so the letters are nice and crisp when they're printed and not pixely... the grey is the bckground. The white is an A4 page on it's side.

[RollOn]

Nice Mel, I like it muchly!

[AlinaPOW]

My plan is coming to plan!
I'm very excited!

[AlinaPOW]

Jolly good work Mel!

[RollOn]

Yay I'm excited too!!
Alina, where are we all meeting up?

While I'm here Alina have you checked your Myspace yet? I can send you a bigger version of the photo of us with Rae if you'd like.

[Ally]

Ahh, nice, I like it. Wouldn't it be cheaper to print these out on normal paper? Especially seeing that we're printing out lots of copies.

[RollOn]

yes it would be cheaper but no one is going to use this paper.
Mel, can we go put a couple of posters under Strachan lane?! haha

[Bec]

If we're gonna go back to Strachan lane again can't we just steal the sign?

[RollOn]

If we're gonna go back to Strachan lane again can't we just steal the sign?

Yes, I've been thinking about this for ages actually. If we ever go back we're gonna take it down. With more of us there we should be able to do it easily. How would we give it to him though? (the sign Mel, the sign. Don't get too excited, honestly!)
