Fogey's Big Banana World Tour - Sign-Up List

[Mouse]

The banana's been all nice and cosy with me here. I'll wait until the New Year festivities are out of the way and let the post get back to as normal as it's ever going to be before I send it on. Hope that's OK.

I've had another idea to add to the trip.
Do we keep the Banana touring until the imminent release of the album then get Nellie or whoever sees Jem the most to present it to him. The story could then be used as a bit of a promotional point for the album release. I mean U2 were never going to get fans doing this before the new album came out! Only a bunch of Frosties could come up with this. :lol:
What we would need is a nice concise promotional blurb to send to all the daily papers and someone is sure to pick up on it and any bit of free promotion is surely a good thing?
Reckon the blurb should mention band members, the hiatus , why the banana appeared at concerts, the trip and photos, and new album.
Discuss! :lol:

Sounds like a plan....of course, the album might not be out in 2012...but then the Banana might not get around everyone before then anyway!

Presentation at an album launch party would be a neat tie-up.

The Olympics have their torch....Frost* has an inflatable banana.

Im sure at least a couple of papers would take up the story and it would all be good exposure.

Agree, what's the worst outcome? We achieve what we set out to originally so we're not going to lose out on anything. I say go for it.

Daily Mail: Sick fans of twisted band force innocent fruit to tour the world.

"Fans of band Frost* appear to be mentally retartded, Coldplay would never sanction the idea of a banana touring the World in their honour!"
Or
" First it was banks of keyboards, then cloaks wizzards and Hobbits. Now its giant inflatable bananas. Prog really has gone down hill!" :lol:

I can see the headline now "PROG GOES BANANAS"

Bananas are an excellent source of Vitamin K. Inflatable ones... perhaps Vitamin P?

I don't recall what the plan was for the photos. Was an actual photo album going to be assembled and presented as well? Speaking of Vitamin P, perhaps the banana tour photos could be emailed to him for possible use?

[Pedro]

Well the original plan, as I recall it, was for the banana to be back for the filming of a DVD at Rockfield Studios (which was planned as an alternative when the Derby DVD turned out to be impossible but sadly never happened). Then it became a gesture of support and "please come back" during the hiatus. Now it appears to be another batty but brilliant thing that Frost*ies do.
The plan for the photos was less clear. I think we were originally just going to add them to a forum thread but then it was proposed to put these into an album to be presented to Jem. I quite like this myself -  maybe with a page per location/person (maybe showing avatar, picture and map location?).
However, this should really be up to Wing Commander Fogey....it's his banana....it's not really my call..

Once again I'm in total agreement with Pedro.

[Fogeyspasm]

This is not a real help as i never really expected it to get this far but i don't really class it as "My Banana" and am quite open to whatever anyone/everyone thinks is best. We didn't get a chance to present it at the gig, turned out to be wrong time, wrong place as there was so much going on.
Like the photo album idea although not everyone took a pic with it, but i also like the other promotional possibilities. 8-)

Once again I'm in total agreement with Pedro.

Seconded

Where's the banana* now?
