DIGITISER LIVE UPDATE!

24/2/2020

Newwwwwssss! Tickets for Digi Live 2.0 have sold extremely well. Given we've still got five months to go, and we've sold all but 100 or so of the tickets, I'm hopeful we're going to sell out, or as near as dammit. Which is great. Get yours now so you don't miss out.

If you missed the earlier FAQ, you can find that here. However, a few updates:

We're planning to have a merch table. We've ordered some Digi Logo enamel badges, and - we'll know for certain once they arrive here and have shipped to backers - we may have a limited number of Digitiser The Show DVDs. We probably aren't going to do t-shirts, given the faff with both sizes and the space needed for them, but we're going to sell at least one limited edition Digitiser Live 2.0 shirt beforehand through our Redbubble store, so you can wear it to the event. 

Mugs take up a lot of space too, and are expensive, so most likely we'll just be selling the badges, and possibly posters and postcards. Again, if you want mugs, check out Redbubble. 

Chunky Fringe is coming together, and you can read all about it here. It'll run from 11am to 5pm on the day of the event, and is free to all. Highlights include a Digitiser quiz, a retro gaming panel, and some sort of panel with me on it talking about Digi and Teletext.

Chris Bell is also looking to book somewhere on the Friday night for some sort of gathering. We had considered a screening of some Biffo-related stuff at the Arts Centre, but unfortunately the small hall is being refurbished.

There's also now a Facebook group for attendees. You can find that here. If you're coming on your own, and you're a little anxious, it's the perfect way to introduce yourself, and get to know people beforehand. As said many times, it's a lovely community, and very understanding of people's differing needs. You will be welcomed.

In other news, you may well have seen the first episode of Digitiser Deluxe. I'm very proud of it - it feels like the channel has a new focus. But anyhow, during this first run of Digi Deluxe, you'll be seeing a lot of both Sooz Kempner and Ash Frith. I think it's okay now to announce them both as the first confirmed guests for this year's Digi Live. They fit into Digi perfectly, and I couldn't be more honoured that they want to keep being involved. 

We've got other guests lined-up, but as it's availability dependent, we'll have to confirm them nearer the time. Suffice to say, if we manage to get everyone we want to get... it's going to be a very special day.

Boring question time: will the merch stall be able to accept card payments or will it be cash only?

It'll probably have to be cash only. But we'll post up more details nearer the time.

I've actually been thinking about looking into this, Treacle. So if it is fairly simple and affordable we'll see if it can be done, because card payments would make the process a whole lot simpler for both sides. We can't make any promises yet though.

There's a massive supermarket next door that should have a cashpoint in case they can't take card payments.

Yes: don't listen to me. Listen to The Wife! I'm clearly out of the loop.

Much excitement for the event, I shall attend this year. Had an anxiety attack about it last year so didn't go. Yes, I'm a precious snowflake who leads a somewhat enigmatic life.

I'm from Manchester, so apologies in advance for my intrinsic kleptomania. I promise not to steal too much.

So many people felt the same way last year, but were all so pleased they pushed through the anxiety. I'm sure you won't regret it.

"So many people felt the same way last year" - Wow, you really attract a lot of kleptomaniac Mancs, eh?

"but were all so pleased they pushed through the anxiety" - Oh, okay, the anxiety thing. Yes. Once I'm in the zone I'll be all good I reckons.

Onward to July!

this might be a very Me thing to ask, but, will the bar be open? And if we need a place to go during the show, is there a room / place / bar?

The bar will indeed be open, and yes - it'll be open enough if anybody needs to escape during the show.

Will the bar have cider? The most important question....

I think so. Who went last year who might be able to confirm?

Bottled cider, definitely, not sure about draft. Cider is confirmed.

Here's a money-making idea for you: t-shirt transfers. Exactly like selling shirts, except less bulky and you don't have to worry about the various different sizes of buyers.

The transfer paper's less than a pound a sheet, and you can fit over twenty Digitiser logos on a page. Sell those individually for £3 and everyone's a winner, so long as whoever buys it knows how to operate an iron.
