FANS - the preparation


Time to be getting ready for the next tour of FANS. There's the boxes of flyers, on suitably high quality stock. The kind that is almost difficult to fold.

And there's different versions for Live Theatre and for the touring theatres. The boxes have already been dispatched, with a unit cost of about £15 per box per venue in shipping. Different from Fringe when it was possible to have the entire shipment sent straight to the venue.

The little badges arrived with Just-In-Time delivery. We designed them on Tuesday morning ready for the show on Wednesday. They're being made in Scotland and then shipped to the venue. Same for the paper cannons.

The stage gets some new technology including a guitar pack radio sender and a new radio mike as well as a stage-based practical vinyl record player. Not forgetting the new smoke machine. No warm up time on this one - instant haze.

Then there's the blinders. Admittedly hired, they could do a decent substitute for the sun. But instead of 'set to stun' they'll be used on just 10% setting.

Expect a few days of marketing from the various twitter accounts. Here's blinders on 10%.
