The New ‘Official’ Red Dwarf Convention?

[Mr-Stabby]

Seems to a thing? Advertised using a video that would not look out of place on an early 2000s fan Flash website!

I guess it makes sense that GNP would have to step in if the fan club aren’t going to do it. Think of all the major developments there have been in the world of Red Dwarf since the last DJ that are begging to be discussed at panels, like… uh, the new Blu-ray box set, and the show coming to iPlayer!

Hm.

it says Nottingham too, which was, of course, home to the last couple of DJs. If this is, indeed, official, then it seems like they want to try to keep some kind of continuity.

Be nice if prices keep around the same kind of continuity,  as well.

Certainly keep an eye on it.

Surely after 25 years and 22 more episodes we could find a better still of Starbug than that ancient render.

Domain is registered to somewhere in Iceland, bizarrely.

Shipreykjaviked and comatose.

Are we sure it’s not some kind of niche scam?

[Flap Jack]

Yes, because it says “official” so obviously it must be official.

Has anyone just asked Doug?

It would seem so, unless they’re doing an elaborate April, May, June, July & August fool:

Well, as long as they’ve got permissiin.

[Dax101]

After 30 years its now officially official.

[Moonlight]

Begging Doug to name it “The Annual General Meeting of the Agoraphobic Society”.

[Technopeasant]

And if that was taken?

[Moonlight]

Use it anyway. What are they gonna do, come stop us?

[Dave]

And if that was taken?

Convention of the Legally Icelandic Totally Official Reddwarf International Society.

Just one drawback with that etc.

I’m very much looking forward to the first EVER official Red Dwarf convention, that has official permission to officially be the official one, and the first official one. As say opposed to those things the fan club did, the official fan club that officially had permission to be an official fan club officially, that one, and they ran a fan club convention or 20ish as that official fan club doing a convention but was just an event for fans, not like an official convention like this o££icial convention that will be attended by fans, but officially now. 

It reminds me of those first ever Moon Landings(c) that Musk-Inc did. Remember them? They were the first ever OFFICIAL Moon Landings(c). Some bloke called Neil did pop up there in the 60’s but just cus he was a fan of rock collecting, nothing official there. But the Musk one’s that Disney sponsored and said they were Series 1 of the Moon Landings(c). Those ones. There were Official. I’m sure this will be great like those. Sounds good, hey it’s always fun to hang out in outterspace. Especially with people who like me, I know, and have never officially hung out in Nottingham before talking about Red Dwarf, except those who have, but unofficially.  Well. I genuinely wish it well if TORDFC seem to have donated all their Tamsin Archer CD’s to the moonlit oxfam now.

Here’s to beers, telly banter and more. (& In my old fan heart. Apollo XX i still love you)
