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!

I simply don't have time to organise this...

It might be too late to organize now, but you never know.

If that doesn't appeal, I'll think some more about who to contact. (Tiki? she's in Melbourne, don't know if she is going to the con. mortonhall has said she needs a quiet weekend, so she might not be the best choice, but she might have some good suggestions. I don't have an email for her here, but could contact her later - if you want me to, send me an email at home, and I'll do that either tonight or in the morning). Justin A might also be persuaded to put raffle tickets on his table, but only if enough advertising is done so that it brings people to look at his books - that I would delegate to mynxii, if she is contactable.
Let me know if I can do anything helpful

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?

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?

Also, what price on the tickets? 50 cents each/3 for a dollar?
no subject
That price sounds fair.
New flyers up at the Nights Edge Blog.

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

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!

Closer to the con I might just take you up on that.
