DIGIFEST: JUST THE ADS

Right. Well. I just got home, so I'm still processing Block Party 2016, and the evening's Digifest. I'll do a proper debrief and thank you to everyone - not least of all the attendees - in the week. But it's fair to say that it went better than we ever could've fever-dreamed. Here's hoping it felt that way for all of you too.

Apologies that we overran somewhat; I know some of you had to leave early because of trains and whatnot, but it was slightly unavoidable when we discovered at the last minute that the food truck guy had a serious family emergency. We had to improvise when it came to feeding you all, but you can thank my daughter and the legend that is Chris Coltrane for the pizza idea.

I was a rather pulled from pillar to pontoon all day, so I'm sorry if I only got to chat to you for 0.3 seconds (or not at all). But thank you all for coming. I'm blown away. 

Anyway. I'm off to die for a while.

While that's happening... for those of you who were there and have asked to see it again, or for those of you who missed it, here's a hurriedly thrown together compilation of the absurd adverts we showed (at some point I'll put them up separately, along with The Man's Daddy, Mr T and the Queen).

We also filmed the entire event - or rather, Louise and Alex, who I completely forgot to thank on Saturday night - did. I'll have those videos up soon, so that the lunacy of Quiz-Me-Do can be experienced by all. 

For now, you may enjoy... this:

That video was... magnificent. Based on that video, the block party sounds like everything I didn't imagine, by which I mean everything that I imagined! If only I were not in a different country I could have been there!

Brilliant! I was laughing like a drain at this last night.

I meant to ask you, how did you find, and what did you tell, the actors for Goujon John, Benji Coleslaw, and the swan paint guy? I'm just wondering whether they really knew this was a spoof, as they sounded like they were taking it seriously?

A very handy website called Fiverr.com... No idea what they made of it!

Not... Roaming... Thomas... again... gods... help... my... sanity...

(Marvellous day by the way, aside from the various lifelong nightmares you - and Quiz-Me-Do-Chris - have buried within the attendees psyches...)

that video is terrifying. I think it might have made me ill.

Zweistein was a good joke though. 10/10

Biffo, thanks again for an evening that has made everyone I've tried to explain it to think I'm an incurable lunatic.

The mistake you made, was trying to explain it.

I opted for "Cambridge Computer Museum", figuring that if I elaborated further I'd be carted off to the loony bin.

Post-event, I have even less chance of explaining whilst retaining any illusion of being of sound mind.

If I didn't have photos on my phone I'd be convinced I dreamt most of it.

I missed an obvious "stay away from my loony bin" joke there. I will have words with myself.

In fairness, I don't know why I showed it to the staff at my asylum anyway.

I can see exactly where Tim & Eric got their ideas from. Wish I could have made it to DigiFest.

I had a great time!

Found the Teletext panels interesting and the video was the perfect precursor to the lunacy of Quiz-Me-Do especially the part with the smelly rings. It was an honor and a pleasure meeting your good self and the delightful Violet and enjoyed having the opportunity to talk to you both. The icing on the cake was winning a prize on the raffle.

It was a shame that everyone who wanted to go couldn't attend as they missed out on a great day.

Might have been the vimto cider but Goujon John is probably the funniest thing I've ever seen live

Thank you! I was wondering, after seeing Biffo's video, if I had been saying "goujon" wrong all these years. But if anything, the guy's consistent mispronunciation made it even funnier.

Oh yeah. I could've corrected him, but I liked that he got it wrong. And then got it right in the second one!

Glad I'm not the only one whose first thought was "have I been mispronouncing that?" then! So funny. Loved these videos!

Thank goodness for this. I spent a good amount of time this weekend wondering if I'd been saying "goujon" wrong my entire life. It was compounded today at lunch when I was -honestly- faced with goujons as a choice at lunch.

I didn't order them.

Mang, what a week to get a tooth infection. I was looking forward to this day of madness, but had to miss it.

I will have all my teeth extracted in time for the next one.
