[Deptheads] Planning ahead

[Eric M. Aldrich I]

We're going to start something radical for us starting this con -- we're going to plan ahead :-)

With that in mind. I want all special events/gusts set in stone for Gamex by the end of this month. Then I want to focus on Gateway. I want all the special events and guests arranged for Gateway by the week before Gamex as I want to launch the Gateway advertising campaign AT Gamex.

Why? Well, in case no one noticed we have THREE competing game conventions running against us on Labor Day weekend in California. Conquest SF is already advertising (it's essentially do or die for Mondo, so he's pulling out all the stops), and Celesticon and SoCal Smackdown will step it up soon too. We've already lost a few things to the two northern cons, and with the competition up there we can expect few people making the trip south.

I think we're up to the challenge, but I don't think it will be easy. Gateway last year was a smashing success, but it's going to be a lot of work to equal or surpass that.
