NOTP Fanpage

At the picture above from Karen’s weblog, you see Per and Marie of Roxette discussing something (with for example Geert Keysers, Liv, Hille and Marjolein). The rehearsals are running at full speed and no negative feedback as reached us so far: so that sound very promising for the first show on Friday.

And that’s an extra reason to sit together with the people behind notpfan.eu. V: Dries, we’re online for about two months and a half. Happy? Dries: “I think we have enough reasons to be happy. Technically speaking, our website still knows some minor issues and all can be improved, but our product is ready to be shown and we have still some changes on our to-do list”. Bernard: “Indeed, we wanted to make a website with content that supports the real NOTP fan with information and data that is not available with the organization. So, we’re no competition for notp.be, rather complementary”. Dries: “The attraction of the site is that it is updated very often”. Bernard: “We wanted to build content from the start on; in the future we will do that a bit less”.

V: A site in three languages! What in investment! Maurice: “Multiple languages was worth the effort to help the fans outside the Netherlands and the Flemish region, and also to build out the Proms shows in Charleroi and abroad.” Laurent: “For me, they should return to France; driving 600 to 800 km to see a show in Antwerp or Germany, it’s too much of an investment every time.” Maurice: “That’s a real fan! You have provided a big contribution by gathering all those video clips.”

V: Are you guys VIP’s during the next shows? Bernard: “Oh, but we’re not in it for the champagne; I think the rather drink a nice beer over there.” Dries: “Our success is relative. After about 2 months and a halve, we had almost 5000 unique visitors, but I have the impression that a lot of fans don’t know the site yet. Now that the content is there, we can start the promotion.” Maurice: “The German organizers refer on their website to the German fan page of Stephan, but no reference is made in Dutch, French or English.” Laurent: “Many fans are fulfilled with the official website. We think that our webpage can compensate for that, and create enough goodwill for the actual shows.”

V: Finally, what are your wishes for the shows of this year? Dries, Bernard, Maurice en Laurent: “We wish to all visitors of the show, and the whole crew on and off the stage, a fantastic show to enjoy for a long time!”
