What-ho, Mr. P! Help yourself to the biscuits and I'll put the kettle on. I didn't get a chance to say at Summer's End, but I love your work and you're bloody brilliant.  :D  (Although, the ammount of money from my wallet being exchanged for Defence gear should've got the message across.  ;)  )

Thank you very, very much chaps. Always late to the party but I'm here in the warm bosom at long last!

What have I missed?

Fave biscuit (though I can't comment on its dunkability performance as I don't drink tea - I know how very un-english of me!) has got to be the Milk Chocolate Hob Nob from the good people at McVitie's. I do however miss its Father, the Abbey Crunch which I believe has left us for the great biscuit barrel in the sky... Now there's an album title!

And Mouse, I hope there'll be some more tempting treats on this forthcoming Tour that will make you shed a few more pounds  ;)

And Pedro. Who knows what 2011 will hold. We've already got a Royal Wedding and a Rush Tour, so stranger things have happened than Forum T-shirts! I'm waiting to hear about my pitch to Wills and Kate though, so I may be too busy with their invitations and commemorative T-shirts and plectrum sets!

Hopefully see y'all soon. And safe journeys to everyone traveling to the gigs (and indeed the shops, places of employment or the pub) over the next few days.

For avatar go to "User Control Panel" (link towards the top of the page).
Choose the "Profile" tab and click the link "Edit avatar" at the left-hand side.
This will either put you in a room full of 8 foot tall blue creatures or allow you to choose a file and upload it.  :)

As a young'un, can I ask who Vitamin P is?

Not meaning to sound rude but everyone seems to know him and he sounds like an awfully nice fella, designing t-shirts and whatnot.

Seems like a darling  :lol:

Well I can't say I know him "well" but I'be met him at gigs and bought a fair amount of his work.
He IS an awfully nice fella and really knows his stuff.
You can see the business side of things here...http://www.vitaminp.co.uk/

A Frost* treadmill would certainly help with that in more ways than one...  ;)

Yes, I bought a T-shirt and the new badge pack. Damn, he did it again...  :lol:

Thanks Vit for the stage pass, it made Camerons night!
That and getting his photo taken with Craig.
Top night!
And damn you i had to buy a lighter to be a completeist! :oops:
As for T shirts don't go down that road as i have drawers of them. Im going to have to have a T shirt amnesty where old unloved ones go to chrity!

I must say it is one of the nicest AAA pass I have received over the years! They normally have the band name/logo and AAA stamped across the bottom, or a natty fabric sticky that you write your name on in sharpie (and then bleeds everywhere)

Thanks Vit-P!

I think I found a drinking buddy in Vitamin P, although I couldn't keep up with him in Bilston.
Title: Re: Welcome to Vitamin P!
Post by: Mooncat on December 08, 2010, 02:29:20 PM
Vitamin P is equal parts

Real Ale officiando
Graphic Design GENIUS!!!!!!
Rush (the band) fanatic(I was chastised at Bilston for sending him a link to a drum shop in Brum which has one of the Neil Peart R30 anniversary kits for sale for a mere £19,000 :shock: )
Top, Top Bloke
Frostie and IB fan

Happily I introduced myself to him a couple of years back and usually catch up for a bit of a natter at gigs - alas I've not yet managed to make a session officially arranged or endorsed by the man himself.
Here's hoping for next time!!!!

8-) You guys RAWK!!! The Frost* Tour has been a jolly good excuse for a superb few days traveling around the country. It's been an absolute blast hooking up with so many old friends and a real pleasure making lots of new ones in the process. And to see so many people sporting a T-shirt or buying a calendar, mug or whatever makes all the hours spent at the creative coalface so worthwhile. It's a real honour, so thank you!!

On a different note, I've got to say I thought the boys were on absolutely astonishing form on this outing. They've really upped their game and in my humble opinion, I think this Frost* line-up is about as good as it gets!! So here's hoping for a busy, Frost*-filled 2011 which will mean many more gigs and therefore, many more opportunities to hook up with you lot for a natter over a Malibu and Vimto or if we're lucky, a nice pint of Jaipur IPA!! Chin! Chin!

Quote from: "Vitamin P"8-)  Chin! Chin!
Isn't it "Pip Pip!" now?  ;)
I keep seeing you at gigs Paul, and have never got round to having a chin wag with you, possibly because I'm in vaguely the same trade and can see me boring you silly talking shop, which would be inexcusable! All your work is absolutely and consistently top notch and I'd probably behave like a design fanboy!   :mrgreen:

But the main reason would probably that you quite rightly a popular bloke and you're deep in conversation every time I spot you!
Anyway, hopefully I'll collar you for a quick chat next time....
...and welcome to the forum!
