Impending convention reflections
Oct. 14th, 2009 11:45 amHere it is, two days to go until the SpringfieldGAME convention here in Springfield, MO. And I'm excited.
The schedule for the media room—which I am supervising and operating—is all hashed out. I've got $400 in raffle prizes so far. I've got plans for how to set the room up, and everything.
What I don't have is any assurance people will actually come to the room. :P
( This is why. )
I can't wait to see what actually happens. I hope it doesn't suck. I really hope we get enough people for the organizers to make back their investments.
On the bright side, we have some things that the existing local con doesn't have. We had a good deal of radio publicity, both in the form of an appearance on one radio station morning show last week and in the form of a $250 advertising certificate for ClearChannel that I bought at the Pizza Bowl a couple years ago. It enabled us to get 11 ads runs on US 97 and 6 on ESPN-AM radio this week. Maybe that's not many, but at least it got the word out to more people than none would have.
