I was born in December too! Let's hope it's a good oneEwok wrote: Wed Nov 01, 2017 9:20 pm My heart could just explode, that January picture is absolutely killing me. Happy Birthday Dad? I could die. I remember people here predicted the corgi in January! Not only is IDB full of detectives, but also psychic detectives.
I'm really wanting to see the rest of the months! (Especially December, yay my birth month and apparently Dan's favorite? Hmm
Anyway, I remember them talking about their inspiration for their calendar and "taking the piss" and whatever, I'm just... No hahah. This is a couples photo shoot with dogs. There's nothing funny or ironic about it, it's just freaking cute.
Yay, birthday buddies!Ablissa wrote: Wed Nov 01, 2017 9:27 pmI was born in December too! Let's hope it's a good one
And yeah, I'm a little scared of them explaining the calendar in some stupid way, I guess that fear is always there for me. But I agree with you, there is no other explanation, they look like a married couple doing a photoshoot with their (many) dogs.
The cover photo is basically a couple’s Christmas card. Snap, Ablissa and Ewok, I’m also December.

I'm guessing it'll be Xmas themed, I've always had to deal with Xmas overshadowing my birth month. Wah. Wonder if it'll be different than what's on the advent calendar? It has to be doesn't it?
Oh god my inner demon just thought mistletoe. Gahhhhh.
YES to this. These are cute and all but CATSrainydays wrote: Wed Nov 01, 2017 9:45 pmIt might be premature, but @dan and phil for next year, do it with kittens and I shall give you all my money without thinking twice. please and thank you

I'm in December too! So excited.flarequake wrote: Wed Nov 01, 2017 9:42 pm The cover photo is basically a couple’s Christmas card. Snap, Ablissa and Ewok, I’m also December.
So yeah... to all those getting couples Christmas card vibes, there's that.In the style of awkward family photos and 80’s pet photo shoots we have actually made a whole calendar with not 1, not 2, but 12 different types of dogs! All with a strong aesthetic theme for each month of the year.
I'm 5'2 with a larger chest and hips, and I got a medium in the galaxy sweater, thinking that it would be fine. However when I got it, it's far too big. Cozy and wearable, but i sort of drown in it. I also got the black cartoon graphic t-shirt a few years back in a small, and since I'm a tiny person and it's unisex, despite the size it still comes halfway down my thighs lol (also i regret wasting my limited funds on the black shirt because I feel awkward as hell wearing it out, but i was young, naive and wanted to support them so think more than I did before you buy! lol)I am thinking of getting a galaxy shirt, however. That's a low key way to rep Deppy. Can anyone tell me what the fit is like? I'm torn between a medium and a large. I can fit into a medium and larges are sometimes too big, but also sometimes perfect. I'm also training for a half marathon so idk!

(but also yay so many december birthdays here! 
) Good thing I'm incredibly broke, I don't have enough money for things like this. I don't know about the shirt, but I got the galaxy sweater and even after I did all the measurements the M was too large. I only wear it with the sleeves rolled up insanely much, but I still kind of drown in it. (I'm also honestly a bit disappointed in the quality, it's thinner than I expected and it's pilling like mad after only wearing it a couple of times.)obscureDnPreference wrote: Wed Nov 01, 2017 10:08 pmI'm in December too!

I don't really know if I'm going to buy the calendar because I don't feel comfortable having at my office. I would just get it for my room, but I'm about to relocate to my hometown for my job and will be living with my parents for all of 2018 (yay for being a successful 23yo with a career moving back in with my parents). I think they would be a bit judgemental.

It wasn’t a chit-chat event per say, but when we went to the iTunes Q&A they did in 2015 it was totally unscripted with questions from the audience that were written 20 minutes beforehand and weren’t screened (I say that because my question was read out and was about the time in Vegas that will never be discussed - the question was obviously a joke because I made that clear but wasn’t veto’d by them beforehand) but they still answered them. There was quite a lot of interaction with the audience which free flowed from the questions asked by the host. I would love it if they held small group Q&As like that (there were about 50 at the iTunes thing but you could make it bigger I guess) with a photo opportunity after. Would make it less awkward for both parties as I am sure there would be a number of fans who get easily star struck (again I say that because I witnessed someone fainting/many people crying at their book signing in Milton Keynes) so not so much pressure to ask a question or say anything if you didn’t want to.LtrllySusan wrote: Wed Nov 01, 2017 3:31 pm Would Dan and Phil really go for chit-chat-based events? I feel like their past con attendances have always had a filter when it came to audience interaction (have they ever had a Q&A panel with an open mic?) - I guess it's to avoid uncomfortable questions. There are M&Gs, of course, but they are mostly about "How are you/Do you want a photo/Have a nice day", aren't they? IDK if I can see Dan and Phil sitting down on tables with people who probably just all wanna ask the phan-question. I wouldn't see myself go to an event like that; I think I'd die from second-hand embarassement.
We have to order from the worldwide shop, I think shipping is usually a min of £9.99 (but goes up depending on what you get).Reizam wrote: Wed Nov 01, 2017 10:31 pm Ahhh I'm so excited to see the video behind all this!

If they did it, it would be nice to have a short form to fill in with ages, friends already attending, interests etc so they could group us older people togethermissemma wrote: Wed Nov 01, 2017 11:29 pmIt wasn’t a chit-chat event per say, but when we went to the iTunes Q&A they did in 2015 it was totally unscripted with questions from the audience that were written 20 minutes beforehand and weren’t screened (I say that because my question was read out and was about the time in Vegas that will never be discussed - the question was obviously a joke because I made that clear but wasn’t veto’d by them beforehand) but they still answered them.

Not sure how they could pull something off like that though seeing as it would only be small numbers of fans per event. Tatinof has 2,000 people approximately at each night with 100 VIP m&g. The dapgo event was similar in size but without the m&g. The table idea does seem really good though, wouldn’t it be kinda boring though just sitting around and waiting for your turn!? As someone who is a lot bit older, wouldn’t it be awkward if I got put on a table with 10 other 13-14 year olds, they’d all be looking at me like “which one is your child”
Dan definitely did say that, but like with a lot of things I kind of wonder if this one sells super well if they'll be talked into doing another one? They have a long habit of indicating they might not do something and then deciding to do it.hello9217 wrote: Wed Nov 01, 2017 11:59 pm Sorry fancybum but this will be their last calendar.

With all the ones like that I did in the past, you picked where you sat and who with - it wasn't an assigned thing. I can imagine it would be incredibly awkward if you did get put with a bunch of random people!lilabet wrote: Wed Nov 01, 2017 11:56 pmIf they did it, it would be nice to have a short form to fill in with ages, friends already attending, interests etc so they could group us older people togethermissemma wrote: Wed Nov 01, 2017 11:29 pmNot sure how they could pull something off like that though seeing as it would only be small numbers of fans per event.

. I mean he was talking about their monthly calendars being over. What if they're going to start making those daily things where you rip off a sheet of paper each day? 365 cats instead of 12. Or they could do a 'word of the day' thing full of their gibberish (lady door, burger gay, they've got material for years).
