Joystick Junkies has AlienPants! - 4th April 2002

LONDON - April 4, 2002. Joystick Junkies is expanding and in a move to ensure the long term stability of it's growing editorial site and web community, has signed a deal to hand over it's website management to community, content, support and site management specialists AlienPants.

The one year deal will see AlienPants take on the regular site management functions, including updates, development and technical support to ensure the site fulfills the many demands expected on it over the forthcoming year.

AlienPants founder Tom Gordon, one of the regular contributors to the site commented, "Joystick Junkies is an exciting concept, and the monthly club night has been a regular part of life for more than a year now. I'm extremely happy that we're taking on the management of the Joystick Junkies website."

Chris Birch, founder of Joystick Junkies expressed his relief at finally being able to don a pair of pants, "Mother never let me near them, but thankfully Tom's team are well experienced in dealing with a growing entity like Joystick Junkies. When you have a fledgling project like this it's difficult to trust your baby with anyone but yourself. However I'm confident that the AlienPants gang will bring more than we bargained for and contribute a great deal to the growth of the brand."

In another move the team have appointed long time contributor and industry commentator Philippa Norman as Assistant Editor. Philippa will be overseeing the growing global editorial team and assisting with building the monthly events.

AlienPants first official presence at the Joystick Junkies monthly events will be this forthcoming 11th April at the SAK Bar where the AlienPants t-shirt exhibition will show off some of the classic shirts from the last few years.
