carryfiasco Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 okay so i have a wreck this journal (if you have no idea what i'm talking about, google it!) and apart from a few pages i've barely touched it, so i was thinking of maybe starting to take it to cons with me. as this is the next con i'm going to, what do you reckon would be my best option for getting it nicely wrecked. obviously pages like 'take it in the shower with you' might be awkward at a con, but some of the more artsy pages i reckon people would enjoy ruing. so how am i best to go about it. ideally i'd like to just leave it somewhere but i'm not sure i'd be trusting enough to do that... haha.

Matthewman Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 after 'googling' this (I had no idea what it was ), why not ask each guest to destroy part of it for you. At least you'd have some great stories to tell about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carryfiasco Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 ooh yea that's a good idea, i'd not thought about asking a guest to do stuff. when would be best to ask them though? :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverGeek Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Ah cool, i had no idea what this was till I looked it up and watched a video of a completed version, very creative concept. Asking each guest should be fun, though to solve the problem of mixing up I would ask them to sign your auto book first then tell them you have another book but this one is for them to "wreck" in a creative way. Also you could ask a few folk you bump into be it people from this forum or just totally random people, I reckon you'll get the most interesting results this way. I would be more than happy to help with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carryfiasco Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 yea, i was mainly thinking of people just visiting the con rather than guests originally anyway to be honest. i suppose i'll spend a lot of my time queueing so i could just ask people in the queue to wreck it while i go along :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modern_day_prophet Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Ill be honest. I dont think i get what this is. Is it like a school yearbook thing where you get each Guest, Punter etc. to put something unique into your book instead of the usual autograph? I suppose that could work...

carryfiasco Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 nah it's just a book that has different ways to wreck each page. it has suggestions on each page and your sort of make you're own interpretation of what it is. i might see if there is a doodle page or something and just ask people to do a quick doodle each time i meet them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverGeek Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I would still ask guests too, I think you'll be surprised how many will love to do something a bit different. It's a cool way for them to remember meeting you as well. Up to you at the end of the day though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carryfiasco Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 keep meaning to fish the book out and find some pages that are worth while. as i'm not that bothered about autographs personally, i might just join any small auto Qs if i've nothing specific to do at a time and ask a guest to defile a page or part of a page. and while i'm queueing for stuff ask people around if they want to help trash it. :) i think i might have more luck with it at cons which involve stopping at a hotel and evening parties as then i can take it with me, along with lots of other crafty stuff, and get people to do more than just doodles. one of the pages is to fill the page with one word, i could get everyone i meet to write 'collectormania' or something in their handwriting on that page. that's a simple one that won't take up much time or explanation. haha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minchb Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hahaha sorry I was on my phone when I posted it and didn't notice which event it was for! thought it was done this weekend gone I hope it goes well when you do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverGeek Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Cool idea with the one word thing. Then you'll have a page full of autos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carryfiasco Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 i will just continue to wreck it until there's nothing left to wreck. or i die. whichever comes first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewizard Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 If you die can i have all your money and any belongings you have? It means i can take time off to just sit back and not worry about bills and food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fissijo Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 From memory there is a double page spread for "put this in a public place and get people to do stuff to it" (I may have paraphrased that) which would be ideal for queuing (Or "an account of the passage of time" - which for me was filled in while in a book signing queue). Mine has a drawing by tennis player Novak Djokovic in it because I worked up the nerve to go "random request, can you draw something in my book please".

It's not like the old days. These days the debt dies with you so we should spend spend spend and then take selfies in all the shops we go to.
