Long Road Freshers

Thanks to my source in the student's union at college i am pleased to announce that after a long delay, college finally has organised the Fresher's Ball!!!

I believe it will take place on November 6th at The Junction in Cambridge.

I would like to thank everyone who has made this possible, after all the drug and fighting problems at last year's event we had been banned from The Junction for life but now everyone can enjoy an amazing night.

Get your party on!

Around the World

Wow, what a weekend.

Backfire really is going worldwide, This morning woke up to a bunch of orders including one from Canada.

Thanks guys, keep it up.

Stateside

Backfire has finally reached the States =]

Tonight we received our first order from America, i feel that this is quite a milestone.

The past few months Backfire has been going all over Europe but now we have hit the U S Of A!!!

I thank this customer and i hope this kick starts sales from Americans.

Thank you.

Media Project

For the last month in media studies we have been planning, shooting and editing a music video.
We got given a song called "Riverside" by some cockney geezer called "Kid Harpoon", yeah i though, o what a delightful name haha.

Anyways we decided to shoot it in a river just down the road from my house and so far it is looking good, basically me as a tramp half naked in a river with a guitar. Lucy, Dom and Kirk directed and filmed (must give them credit).

At the moment we only have a rough cut which sucks. We used a college camera and Kirks snazzy HD camera, the rough cut only includes the college cam footage and all the good stuff was filmed on Kirk's so you will have to wait for the final video in the first week of November for the good stuff.

I'm mostly looking forwards to the behind the scenes video Kirk is putting together though, i don't think i have ever laughed so much, it really was a brilliant experience.

Kirk has also made his own rough cut so i will include both for you guys, let me know what you think and rate them on youtube.

Kirk's Version:



Like i said much better is coming.

Finally i better say that you MUST check out Kirk's other videos, he is an up and coming director and has some brilliant shots, he always enjoys a good chat about media.

I cannot wait for this

Seriously this looks so cool. Dance has to be the tune of the summer and Justice have done it again with this DVD, this will be on my top 10 on my xmas list this year.

Ahhhhh

WOW, it has been so busy for me and Backfire the last few weeks, most of all been packaging up all the orders and putting in all the extra goodies for you guys. The best bit has to be the reaction i get from customers when they find their hidden surprises.

I have so much to tell you all about, the new designs, a Backfire logo, the mega big Halloween/Bonfire night competition, what i have been up to over the summer, future plans and so so much more!!!

I have decided that anyone that comes to my door on Halloween will get free Backfire stickers/Badges and the first person of the evening will get a free Bunny tee. I bet you all wish you knew where i live hahaha.

Welcome

Hey guys,

Well finally, at last i have got the blog going.

I know it has taken what seems to be forever but so much has been going on in my life and at Backfire HQ. I have so many exciting things lined up for Backfire leading up to Christmas, i want to make all the holiday seasons extra special for my customers!!!

There is going to be a Halloween/Bonfire Night SPOOKTACULAR competition announced in the next few days, and it's going to be big, well big is a weak word, it's going to be MASSIVE. I wont go into details now but basically everyone that makes an order will be entered into the competition and they will all be fighting it out for a willy wonka style 'golden ticket' for the huge prize at the end. Of course all orders will include spooky and fun gifts for this time of year.

Also within the next week or 2 i will be revealing the next Backfire design, well i lie. I mean the next TWO Backfire designs!!

I will be using this blog to keep everyone up to date with the going ons in my life as well as Backfire, i promise my life isn't too boring so you will all have something interesting to read. I will try and update the blog daily if possible.

So basically onwards and upwards, look out for the next post guys!!

Olly.
