FuMPFest 2024 T-Shirt

We are now taking pre-orders for this year's t-shirt. If you are attending FuMPFest this year you can pick up your shirt there and your shipping will be refunded after the event. If not, your shirt will be shipped after the event. Last year we made too many shirts so this year we are not going to have as many made up, so get your pre-orders in to make sure you can get your size.

Update: We are no longer taking pre-orders for this year. Shirts can be purchased at FuMPFest, or after the event we will add what is left of the inventory to the Store.

Please welcome our first sponsor, Sulu!

We are thrilled to welcome back Sulu as a sponsor this year!

Sulu was a long-time sidekick on the Dr. Demento Show in the 1970s and 80s. In addition to answering phones and helping with the show she also recorded her own funny songs and had several hits with songs like "I Like Your Toes" and "Locked in the Closet with You."

Now a retired school teacher, Sulu has gone back to making the occasional funny song. Her latest song "I Made It with a Bagel and Cream Cheese" made Dr. Demento's Top 10 countdown for March this year. She also recorded a theme song for FuMPFest 2023 that we played during Opening Ceremonies. That recording can be found on our 2023 compilation, now available in the store.

Sulu will be in attendance at 2024's event!

FuMPFest 2020 T-shirts Reprints

There has been some interest from people who missed out on the FuMPFest 2020 t-shirt, so to raise a little more money for the con we're going to do a second limited run print of this shirt.

This is a pre-order. We need to sell 12 shirts to reach the minimum order with the printer.

We will only be taking orders until February 15th.

If, by then, we have not sold 12 shirts we will not place the order and we will refund all your money. If we've reached that goal we will get the shirts printed and shipped out to you right away.

Commemorate the year that wasn't with the 2020 FuMPFest t-shirt. We feel this design accurately represents how everything went in 2020.

This is also the last call for FuMPFest swag bags. 2023 Swag Bags will only be sold until February 15th as well.

FuMPFest Swag Bag Now Available!

Order now while supplies last!

Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

Another FuMPFest has come and gone and we would like to thank everyone who made it possible!

Bill Frenzer and Bill Carey of Ogden Edsl put on a fantastic show full of dead puppies and fish people of Berodenon. Our other performers all put on great sets - Bonnie Gordon, Insane Ian, Jeff Whitmire, Ross Childs, Steve Goodie, the great Luke Ski, Toby Danger, and TV's Kyle and Linzilla, all managed to put on fantastic shows without crossing any picket lines.

We need to thank Steve Popernack and Ken Sherlock for their excellent work running Table 27.

We want to thank our sponsors, donors, and supporters, and everyone we roped into helping at the last minute for one thing or another.

Congratulations to Dr. Quinn for winning Dumb Parody Ideas, Shy Chipmunk for winning the game show, and Chuck for winning the video contest!

And of course we need to thank Andy Hopp and everyone involved at Con on the Cob for allowing us to crash their convention and making it a wonderful event!

Thank you all!
