A Network of Roxette friends

Dear TDR-people,
Roxette fans are a big family.It’s true but only on paper. I would like to make it for real by introducing N@ROX, a network of Roxette friends worldwide.
For example, if I’d like to travel to Argentina or Poland, I don’t have a local contact to provide necessary information, however lots of Roxette fans over there would be willing to help me out our meet me because we have the same passion. By starting a network, contacts can be made. Each person decides himself how far he wants to go: from ‘just a little help’ over ‘a meet and greet’ to ‘a place to sleep’.
Friendships can be born by surfing to http://embark.to/netrox
The joyride continues, it’s just that simple...

@ all: the link didn’t work before because of a . (dot) at the end of the address. It should work now!

Really great. BTW, who’s gonna host us at Halmstad, I wonder :)
infofarmer said on November 5, 2003 10:39:
@those registered or going to:
try to keep the thread up for others to see it
@pelle:
maybe you should contact some roxette sites to get publicity... pietroxette, roxette.org. I’ll spread the news among my friends here in Moscow...
pietROxette said on November 5, 2003 14:46:
If you want, I can put a little ad on ROXBYTES. Just e-mail me and we can discuss the details.
BTW I’m also in :-)

Dear Pelle, you are a genius! Whenever you’re in Holland, you’re welcome to drop by. I also signed up.
People, pls keep this thread alive!!!
roxgirl_germany said on November 9, 2003 09:12:
I had myself registered some days ago. But I cannot find a link to a list with registered folks. *help*
P-p-p-pelle said on November 9, 2003 17:00:
@ all: Don’t panic. Currently there are about 35 people listed from places all over the world. The names will not be published on the web. I collect all data in an excell file which will be sent to all people who subscribed. So their will be no special website (at least at this time) mainly for privacy reasons. It’s a club so that all advantages are for members only. When having the excell file, you can start making contacts, meet and greets, holiday plans or just start chatting.
Concerning me: from january 2004 on, everyone who is in the Neighbourhood of Brussels (Belgium), a guided tyour can be held (first pint on my account).
I’d like to see more people from Holland, Belgium, Argentina, Brazil, ... from all places over the world!
Join N@ROX at http://embark.to/netrox
Best regards,
Topelius

35 ppl? You must be kidding! Hey, we’re in need for some ad’s.
@Topelius: Did you talk to pietro about an ad at roxbytes.com. Please, do!
@Everyone interested: spread the news. ’Cuz fanclubs around the world lack internationality and require their members to be real fans “with rox-bias”.
35 ppl of 300,000 who love Roxette?
35 ppl of 5,000,000 who buy their records?
ROCK ON!!!
Jud (moderator) said on November 9, 2003 20:55:
how often will you make the updates? each week, month...?
P-p-p-pelle said on November 9, 2003 21:36:
@ pietro i’ll contact you soon i’ve got some nice files for you
@infofarmer: be realistic 50 people would be good, 100 a success
@judith we’ll see how it works. a monthly newsletter with facts and the updated file seems the solution
infofarmer said on November 9, 2003 21:49:
@topelius: I’m trying to be realistic, but not pessimistic. I’m really being aggravated! Gonna let know ALL rox-sites here in Russia and try to make a difference. You can send me some filez if you’d like to...
Am I being over-enthusiastic? I don’t want to force people to be my rox-friends, just trying to let know those, who would really want to. Sorry for bothering, anyways!
P-p-p-pelle said on November 12, 2003 09:33:
Currently listed: 51 people.
I’ll send the members file to all members soon.
To get in contact I’m planning to start a members book. You’ll hear more about it in the first mail to members.
It’s not too late to sign up at http://embark.to/netrox
Rony said on November 12, 2003 17:38:
that is a greeeeaaaat idea!!!!!! I’m not in yet cause i’m not home right now... cant wait to get home and sign up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)))))))))))))))))
KEEP THIS GOING, PEOPLE!!!!!
infofarmer said on November 12, 2003 22:02:
Currently, I’m building a little collection of sites, e-mails and names of those, interested in Roxette. I already started sending out invitations to join N@ROX, hope I won’t be banned at any mail-servers :)
@Topelius: I don’t really think, that it’s right to close the doors of the club, ever. It’s up to you, though...
P-p-p-pelle said on November 13, 2003 08:50:
@infofarmer: the door will stay open, every one can come in or leave at any moment. But the data are only ment for those who are in at that moment. I will not publish the data on the internet open to everyone. but the clus is open, and so is the spirit.
LittleGirl78 said on November 13, 2003 10:33:
If I had know it earler I had fill out the form complete. But I wouldn´t mention my whole address and phonenumber for everyone. :P
But if that publish only for member then I could mention all dates. :/
P-p-p-pelle said on November 13, 2003 14:33:
no problem about missing dates, just send me an e-mail! [email protected]
P-p-p-pelle said on November 21, 2003 08:41:
Hi Folks,
I’m currently finishing the file. I had some conversion problems with symbols like ö ä ü.
I hope to send the first official message after this weekend!
I’m currently also working on the N@ROX friendship book.
Greetz,
Topelius
P-p-p-pelle said on November 27, 2003 08:59:
Hej alla,
I’ve just send the first official N@ROX e-mail to all of you. The strength of the network is depending from your response and accuracy of data.
Best regards,
Topelius
Denstandigaresan said on November 27, 2003 14:16:
Received the mail. :)
I’ve filled out my questionnaire. And added photos. Is it ok to send as a word document? Or shall I mail as normal e-mail, with photos attached. :)
Thanks. :D
P-p-p-pelle said on November 27, 2003 17:21:
dear ,
send it however you want. just watch out that the picture size is not too large in order not to blow up my mailbox!
thanks,
topelius
Rony said on November 27, 2003 17:36:
hey, got your mail and sent the info already, hope you got it.... (i’m not really the “computer person”... :-S
so, p-p-pell, please send me mail and let me know if you got it, thanks
Rony
infofarmer said on November 27, 2003 18:53:
Great! Gonna send the answers a bit later - some simple questions are not easy for me to answer at once... And must get an up-to-date photo.
IMHO, what the spreadsheet/questionnaire lacks now is TDR nickname column (I know that not every N@roxer is regged at TDR, but most of us are), and the way “I heard about N@rox” (would be most valuable to know who we are and where to seek ones like us).
Still, everything’s great!
Rock on!!!
P-p-p-pelle said on November 28, 2003 09:09:
@ infofarmer
the nickname field in the textfile should not be your tdr nick. just a nick that your friends use.
I hope many people fill out the MSN-id since a small chat can make big friends.
@harriej taking care of your problem
thecla said on November 30, 2003 03:09:
hi Topelius - i’m working on filling out my textfile now, but i’m having trouble with the other file.
the only program i have that might open it is microsoft works, but it says something about a password and won’t open the file. what should i do, please?
i’ll be mailing my other stuff in the next day or two then, thanks!
Rony said on November 30, 2003 03:55:
@Topelius- i have a question- my e mail edress is gonna be changed in a few days- how do i change it in the list you gave everyone? or maybe can you change it when i’ll get the new edress and be able to give it to you? (which will happen in like 10 days or so...)
thanks :-)
P-p-p-pelle said on December 1, 2003 09:36:
1. the program you need is microsoft excel.
2. send me your new e-mail address; i’ll update the file ([email protected])
3. I know, I got your message undelivered; I’ll try again soon

By the way, you can use Microsoft Excel Viewer to open the xls files. It is downloadable for free:
