IRIS and ISH

Despite the overwhelming similarity of the names, ISH magazine has nothing to do with IRIS magazine.

I am not writing this because of my own feelings but as a result of the amount of people asking me what the story is.

I hope this clears things up.

dont let this become some kind of rivalry. seriously that last thing this ****ty country needs is two decent magazines acting the bollox. "if you do something with them you cant do anything with us" ****e is not welcome here.

methinks spoiltbrat was just trying to clarify a difference between the two

Fight to the death. Simple.

a naked mud wrestle between the two editors is realy the only solution

Yes, that is true.

I thought about going on a drunken-style tirade about the name similarity but the slack just isn't worth it.... I just think the name could be a little different.... for their sake as well as ours.

Naked mud wrestling sounds good... would that be me as stand-in editor or Stephanie... in the public interest I think the latter would be preferable.... opinions?;)

There were other names considered but the editor decided on ISH. My protest didn't work...
Come to the pre-launch party on the 24th anyway Paddy! It'll be only fantastic!

Can I just clarify that my own little protest was purely due to name preference, not because there's a similarity in the names...the only similarity being that they start with "I"!

spoiltbrat · 22-09-2003 6:41pm

...the only similarity being that they start with "I"!

Or that "IRIS" is the first part of "IRISH" and "ISH" is the second. I will probably stick the old noggin in to see whats going on. I better make sure Juno Falls and The Guggenheim Grotto aren't giving it too much ahead of the October 9th gig.

I've had bad experiences with people from bands djing before - can I leave before that without being rude?

Still no opinions on the mud-wrestling anyone?

It is a bit confusing alright! It would probably make it difficult for potential new readers to discern between the two...
Was the name picked so similar looking/sounding on purpose?

The two websites have very similar addresses too:
http://www.ishmagazine.net
http://www.irismagazine.net

Oh well,
Maybe the two could merge eventually?

Thanks man... thought I was going completely mad there for a few days!

Of course you can leave before that! Nobody's gonna pin you up against a wall and demand that you stay...or are they...;)

Mud wrestling... Are you gonna participate? 'Coz that I'd like to see!

Especially if I'm still smeared in mud;)

Oh well I dunno about that. Some people like strange things, such as pinning naked mud-covered men up against a wall...nice!
