Hello everyone,
I received a question from Rosalyn (Hi Rosalyn!) asking if the Conchords had an “official” fan club. The “official” answer is no. I have the blessing from Jemaine to start a completely UNofficial fan club which should be starting up very soon. He also stated that he doubts there will ever be an “official fan club.” In any case, If anyone wants to help me in this endeavor please contact me because I need all the help I can get!
Thanks Rosalyn for kicking me in the butt to get me started in this again!!

Although I’m fairly new here, I’d love to help in any way I can.
Gidday Nicole,
It would be a pleasure to help out with the formation of a fan club — “unofficial” status notwithstanding! In fact, I’m already doing a wee bit to promote our heroes.
For example, I wear one of my FotC tees (”Eat, Sleep, Folk” or “Jemainiac”) from time to time when I go places around the City. I’m sure there must be other Noo Yawkers with FotC tees, but I haven’t seen any yet — so it may still be unusual enough to attract some notice. (Then again, I generally try to ignore people who stare at my chest….
)
Also, I volunteer every Monday at a small NYC museum where one of our curators is a Flightfan and has stocked our freebie rack with FotC promotional postcards. When we have Monday visitors, I’m usually the one who gives them an informal mini-tour of the museum, so when I show ‘em the freebie rack, I point to the postcards and say with a grin that I’ve “just gotta do a little plug for my boys from New Zealand.” I don’t know if the curator’s ever seen me doing that, but I’m sure he wouldn’t mind….
In addition, I have formed a group on Yahoo called NYConchords, for Flightfans in or around the Big Apple. So far we have just 15 members, but we’re growing little by little. I’ve linked NYConchords to the NYC FotC Appreciation Group on Facebook (run by the wonderful Christopher Loh — a bona fide Kiwi!), and we plan to arrange a joint post-season party in Manhattan for both groups sometime in early September.
Please me posted as to how I can assist with the fledgling fanclub. United We Folk!

Hey Nicole,
I would definitely help you out any way I can. If all you were waiting for was a ‘kick in the butt’, I bet we could have found bunches of us that would have helped you out.
I’m new here as well, but would like to try to help in any way.
Hey Nicole,
I am brand new to the site and love the show. I would gladly help you with the fan club! So you can count this South Jersey Fan in.
I’m in, Ro-bros. Just tell me what you need me to do.
