MMkay - Interstate promotion?

[cheshirenoir]

So, as some of you may or may not know I am running a teeny con later this year. dalekboy suggested that cons over here don't promote themselves over East much.

So, what should I be doing? I have limited resources for time, so I'd like to optomise my "bang for buck".

Suggestions very welcome!

and there might be a chance that I've read this myself.

Quiet weekend? I plan to sit in the bar and have people feel sorry for me so they can buy me drinks..

Assuming I don't get any worse that is. I've arranged to have tomorrow off from work so I can rest.

There is an auction on the Saturday where it can be promoted and I can speak to Ms Mitchell about permission to promote it etc. Between various people, I should be able to get it mentioned at nearly every panel.

Just need someone to email some details to me - also how much do you want tickets sold for?

Well, it's pretty much all in the link at the top.

I'll update the online flyers tonight

Prices are $65, and I'll be selling them online shortly

If someone there wants to organise a raffle of a membership, then Convergence can keep half the profits and the other half can go to DUFF.

Sound fair?

kind of - but it would be fairer for it to go to NAFF - especially if Ju is going to be promoting it at all ;)

Also, what price on the tickets? 50 cents each/3 for a dollar?

[cheshirenoir.livejournal.com]

NAFF does sound like a better idea :-)

That price sounds fair.

New flyers up at the Nights Edge Blog.

Also should I be e-mailing any mailinglists?

I mean, the Swancon mailing list hits about 300+ bodies. Surely there'd be a fannish list or two over East?

there probably is... is eidolist still around? There's eastcoastsf on yahoogroups and I think there might be one for the MSFC - but I'm not currently a member of any of them so you'll have to get someone else to do that bit :)

yup, that sounds like a quiet weekend to me. and from what I read earlier, I got the impression that you were such a thing. May it be a good quiet weekend!
