I for the longest time have been looking for other people that have met a member of the band (by going to a concert, writing them, crazy antics) and had a blast with one of or all members. My story is in my profile...Technique tour, Mesa Arizona, met Peter Hook, drank Corona's (actually I met him at a small club in Phoenix the night before the concert and he gave my girlfriend and I aftershow passes). What a blast to meet Peter...I ended up giving him the front plate off of my car [NuOrdr] and lore has it it ended up in his studio....let's hear your story.

Water. In the school bogs.

am guessing this wasnt through choice - did you feel flushed?

You mean the Salford shampoo? Leaves you with a deadpan expression?

I drink tea in my kitchen where hooky resides. Don't know what i'll do when i move out.

the one that drives you round the bend, aye.

Originally posted by The Great Cornholio you know...that would be a fascinating story...but there is just one small problem with it...New Order didn't play in Arizona on the Republic tour...or did they just forget to print that on MY shirt?!?!?!

The band gave me a signed single (12" vinyl, which I have never played since I never owned a turntable). I will take a picture of it and post it on my insurance website here in the next few days! I also have a poster from the club I met Hooky at. Not that I would sell it...but what would a signed album be worth???

Originally posted by WenOrder wow is that your plate? i've seen that picture several times.I use to have a custom plate on my car, I was trying to do WENORDER. Since your only allowed 7 characters, I shortened it to WENORDR.For the next several years, people kept calling me the WENOR DOCTOR. I couldn't believe I didn't see that coming. :(

*** I have never seen a picture of the plate! Would you please send me a link or e-mail the pic??? It is an Arizona plate**** Thanks much!

Are you talking about this "Illinois NU ORDR 3" plate?

I recall an interview for Jack magazine where Hooky said it has been throwed at him during a gig.

This picture was on the front cover of NME back in around 93

and wasnt the headline "is this the end of the road..?"

I USED to have this magazine, i think the article talked about how much they hated each other and were going to split up!

Originally posted by The Great Cornholio okay...sorry...just had a gander at your profile...you were there for the technique tour...not republic...God, I can be such an insufferable ass sometimes....

NO...I am the dummy...Technique is correct. I will edit my post. I need to stay off the keyboard from 10pm to 8am! I really look like the ass being as I am a newbie to this forum!

No...this is not mine. I was living in Arizona. I have seen this picture several times, mine was [NUORDR] from Az. I know...I have a picture of me and my car when I was visiting in CA...I will post it here by 6/13/2003.

Okay...here is a link to some of the NO stuff I have sitting around. I do not have a flatbed scanner so I took Digital pics of the stuff. How does one contribute to the Picture Gallery section of this site. Here is the link to the files if anyone wants to look. Proof of the meeting with Hooky and a few letters from the sames period (1989).

I will clean up the pages when I have time. Just wanted to get the photos up for now. The last pic in the series is a reply from Barney...guess he did not get my first letter!

Nothing like posting to your own thread...guess nobody out there has had a brew with the band...or maybe this is a long dead question that has been answered elsewhere. If this question has been asked before, where is it posted. I pale in embarrasment :(

PIP save me! :)
