We got a nice Entertainment-section spread a few years back in the paper, any plans to get coverage this year? The local news may be interested in a "what's-going-on-this-weekend" sort of way...

Yeah, I read that article in the Oregonian on one of my breaks at work and that's how I learned of Kumoricon! It was published on Friday before the con and I had to work that Saturday and Sunday, but I grabbed my friend Patrick to go on Monday, which come to find out since it's the last day there isn't a whole heck of alot going on, but the game room is where we spent most of our time anyway, it's where I first played Soul Calibur for X-box and noticed there's a character on there with my name!! OMG! Cassandra rocks! ^.^ But, yeah, thank the gods for the entertainment section, lol.

I actually alerted some of the forumites that we were in the newspaper when it came out.  It ended up shocking quite a few people including, I think, some of the staff at the time.

From what was said at the last meeting, publicity (I'm not part of it) has said they will be doing this with a bunch of different newspapers (that's at least what I got out of what she said).

Well, it should probably be done soon then, so we get some advance notice out.

That was also addressed by the same person (can't remember her name..don't hurt me). They do the newspaper stuff around a week/week and a half out I believe is what they said, because most people who see it in the paper will probably forget about it if it's done sooner than that and I believe they said the newspapers don't like running the adds for things over a week away or something like that.

I believe that was Darkerlight. I sent her a PM to ask about what to do down here in Eugene, but no response yet.
Have Fun

Maybe a little article in Ticket or in the 20Below section?
(True the convention isn't just for people below 20 years old but they recently ran an article about anime.)

What about televised news?  Has anyone tried to get a hold of some news stations?
