Yes, that makes sense - thanks!:)

Hi, Elke!  Can you clarify the last part for me? I saw this on LJ earlier and I was confused.  Do you mean if we have already purchased the DVD that these messenger bags and backpacks will be given away FREE to five buyers those who have already purchased a DVD?  Or are you saying that we will be given the chance to BUY these? Can you clear that up for me? Thanks.  :)



Author's Response:

It would be crazy of me to make you buy something when you have bought the DVD already for the regular price. I might be crazy, but not that crazy. 

Those items I mentioned will be raffled out among those who have purchased the DVD already beforehand for the regular price. As sort of consolation and thank you for supporting the cause. So they will be FREE. 

I hope this makes sense and clears it up.

Just wonder about Gale Harold. I didn't see him in any photos or videos. I thought he signed on back in December. Was he not there?



Author's Response:

where have you been the last 6 weeks Camm76? Gale had to cancel due to work commitment, which has priority to a convention attendance. So he couldn´t  attend the convention, instead we had Harris Allan as ninth guest together with the others.

Thanks so much.

Reviewer: Swallow (Signed) · Date: June 17, 2012 06:05 AM · On: It happened! DVD available to preorder!

Hi, I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. I ordered the dvd (even though the site is in german!) and I was emailed a ticket. Is this just a reciept?

Thank you!



Author's Response:

Yes, this is just a receipt. The DVD will be sent to you as soon as it´s ready. By mid July probably. Thanks for the support!

I've just sent you 9 letters for 9 actors.  Hope you got them all!

 

Thanks,

Jackie

Hey,

congrats on pulling this off. It's amazing. I just looked over the page and it looks amazing. 

I would love to attend but I don't know if my finances will alow it. Is the ticket number very limited? Do you expect aome tickets to still be available in about a month?

Hope this is not a totaly unapropriate location for my questions.

Thanks. 

Sasha



Author's Response:

Hello Sasha,

of course it´s not inapropiate to ask here :).

The Babylon ticket will be available further on as it´s kind of unlimited (well, till the venue is filled..). Woody´s ticket is nearly sold out and Diner Tickets are gone by half so it might be there too in a month or so.

Any more questions? Write to risenshine2012 (at) googlemail.com.

Fabulous news, Elke!  I'm sure this will be a once-in-a lifetime opportunity.  I can't imagine being able to get all the actors together again in the future - it's amazing that you've been able to pull this off.  Can't wait to attend!:)



Author's Response:

Yeah, unbelievable but they are all here! Most significant signatures since my non existing marriage LOL!  Kidding, just in a good mood! Thanks for the moral support!

Reviewer: JTSecrets (Signed) · Date: December 11, 2011 10:08 AM · On: Signatures

I have no doubt you'll get everyone signed soon. Actors will always have any contract reviewed by counsel before signing and it can take time, and maybe an office visit when the actor is available and in town.

Anyone who doubts your ability to get all actors there aren't aware of the complexity of such an effort. Things take time and they have already given verbal agreements to the terms.

Signatures at this stage are just a formality to perform.

I would have waited to announce all have signed to avoid confusion by some people - however, it's ok how you did it too.

 



Author's Response:

Hello Bob, didn´t want to hold back the good news of the first signatures, that´s all, so now they are all eagerly waiting for the next "signed" poster. Happy to be so far already and I do have the verbal consent of all, but having it actually in writing makes it much more real, as you can imagine. And thanks again for letting me use your platform.

Enjoy your weekend!

thank you predec2 you are very kind and helpful.  i appreciate it. :)

Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: December 11, 2011 09:17 AM · On: Signatures

Perhaps I can help answer the question if that's okay.:)  Looks like from the photo that so far Michelle Clunie (Mel), Peter Gant (Ben), Scott Lowell (Ted), Peter Paige (Emmett), and (my favorite so far! - drum roll, please) Gale Harold (Brian) have signed.:)  Now I'm personally waiting for Randy of course, too (keeping my fingers crossed), as well as all the others.  Hope that helps.:)



Author's Response:

THANKS Kim, though it´s "Robert" Gant :). Enjoy your Sunday!

Reviewer: jo (Anonymous) · Date: December 11, 2011 08:44 AM · On: Signatures

i can read but there is nothing signed on my screen. soooo who has signed so far?  if it's not an imposition to ask.



Author's Response:

It´s no imposition to ask, I just wonder, why you cannot see the "signed" signs obviously can be seen by anybody else that´s all. Besides, it would be nice to not review anonymous. Glad you got your information though.

Reviewer: jo (Anonymous) · Date: December 09, 2011 08:25 PM · On: Signatures

which 5?  won't be going if my favorites will not be there.



Author's Response:

How I like anonymous reviews :).

If you´re able to read and have a close look at the photo, you see the word "signed" on those photos, who´s signature has arrived so far. If they are not among your favorites, have a little patience, there will be more "signed" signs soon.

Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: December 01, 2011 08:37 PM · On: Chapter 7

Way to go, dear!!  I never doubted you could pull this off.:)  What you have accomplished is really amazing.  I'm looking forward to all the events next June and meeting all the other fans of the show (as well as my favorite 'boys').:)



Author's Response:

Yes, it´s totally amazing, sometimes I don´t even believe it myself. Finally!!! It´s exciting and you can imagine the somersaults I am doing here the whole day! :D

The video link won't work in the USA. It would better if you could load it to YouTube and embed it here. Don't make the embed code private however.



Author's Response:

It´s a website interview, no video.

 

Ok, I removed the first link that made it confusing for us. The second link is perfect.~Bob

Reviewer: JTSecrets (Signed) · Date: November 04, 2011 10:28 AM · On: Website and informations available

Elke, I have to admit I had some doubt on this happening, but the outstanding website you've started and the ticket prices that will pay what I know the actors will require, and the location cost tells me this is going to happen and be a success too. Forgive me for doubting this.

I realize the best options are expensive but so are the actor's expenses too. You're taking a huge risk to even break even but I have a gut feeling you're going to be ok with this project. Keep up the great work and bring down the house for the fans. Take lots of photos too and post them on Whispers for the fans that couldn't attend.

Note: oder is 'or' in English. Otherwise: Ihre Übersetzung ist ausgezeichnet. Excuse me if my grammar's wrong - been decades since my college German.



Author's Response:

Thanks JT, yes, I´ve come a long way already, thanks to my helpers in the background and all the fans supporting me with spreading the word, translating, defending also. It´s really a work based on true family spirit and I am grateful to have been the one to incite it. There'll always be doubters but well, try to prove them wrong. 

And yes, despite that like 5 people overlooked the website before launching I know there are still some flaws, but at least it´s up and running :). Thanks for pointing it out, going right now to change it. 

Thanks also for letting me use your platform to promote the event. There will be lots of photos and we are going to make a professional video of the event also which will be a great memory for those who attended and those who couldn't.

Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: October 19, 2011 04:40 AM · On: Official T-Shirt

The shirt looks great, Elke!  Can't wait to get my hands on one!:)



Author's Response:

You definitely will!!! See, we are working on it :). Not much more news, website soon to be launched, so YAY!!!!

Reviewer: B/Jfanatic (Anonymous) · Date: September 02, 2011 08:18 PM · On: Chapter 1

You folks are doing great work, but I agree with JT. Which leads me to ask:  Do you have someone who does conventions and/or a publicist professionally helping you all?  I imagine you could probably find some pros who would be willing to contribute their services or at a reduced rate to help you with the groundwork of making sure this gets enough coverage in the media; and also that everything runs smoothly and professionally every step of the way. Just a thought, keep up the fabulous effort!  



Author's Response:

Hello B/Jfanatic, thanks for your review. 

Yes, we do have professionals working here. Allthough it might not seem with the major sucks Yahoo and Facebook were giving us. At the moment I am just promoting it within the fanbase, and as you can see at my respond to Bob, we´ve reached quite a lot of people already. Going public through interested media, www, print etc. will be started once the negotiations with the actors are finished. No sense in going public with what isn´t finally settled and signed. And yes, I do have connection to media, especially the gay themed one and yes, I do know a bit of organizing an event, having been part of the Gay Games VIII Cologne 2010, and not a small one. There will be an official website online with all possibilities relating to the convention. Thanks for your concern. 

Reviewer: JTSecrets (Signed) · Date: September 02, 2011 10:55 AM · On: Chapter 1

Looking at your marketing, I would have mentioned QAF in the title. Most will see what you have and not make the QAF-US connection. That doesn't help your mission to spread the word, and Internet search engines won't pick it up either.

I totally fail to see how "Rise' n Shine" tells your target audience what this is.

Granted you're using the original QAF logo design but that isn't enough.

To the general public, this looks like an event for the East German Reunification Effort and has nothing to do with Queer as Folk, or the cast members.



Author's Response:

Hello Bob, thanks for your concern. As I contacted Warner Bros. to ask for their permission this is what I got as an answer: Please be advised, although we appreciate your interest in our television properties, we do not wish to license material from QUEER AS FOLK for use during a convention.

So I try to be as careful as possible in what I am using. As the campaign isn´t directed to the general public but more to the fanbase of Queer as Folk, I really do think the people are making the connection as both phrases are quotes (slightly pimped) from the show. Btw, the quote of "reunification >in< Germany" was brought up by an Eastern German woman, who lived grew up during the reunification period. Our best method in promoting the event at the moment is to spread the word in between the fans, there are some more boards and sites who help promote it and translate all the news into their language.
