Guys I have some serious things to talk to you about

I am going to brain dump on you guys and see what happens.

1. I am going to pitch one of two ideas to Mike and Jerry. It is either a loyalty program for our store OR a full-fledged revamp of ClubPA with dorky membership cards, free shirts and everything. I don't think they can coexist, but I think they are both perfectly reasonable concepts. What do you guys think?

2. I don't think we will beat Hodgman. He is like Coulton's best friend or something.

3. PAX will sell out of tickets this year. I don't think we'll even have onsite reg at the rate we're going. :(

4. The art contest is going totally sweet. If you haven't seen some of the entries check out the sticky in AC.

edit:

5. Oh man First Party is going to be so rad.


Okay that's all.

Some guy.

    Fuck ClubPA

    +1 vote for G&T (Hodgman has not earned his street cred with me yet)

    AC is scary.

    1. I like the idea of a club. Especially if we get decoder rings.

    2. The hell you won't.

    3. Dang, man. Any chance on getting a bigger venue for in the future?

    4. That's pretty cool.

    Have you considered using your vast stores of money to construct a city just for PAX?

    Like the World's Fair, only smellier and less interesting architecturally.

    1. I'm interested in hearing more about the ClubPA redux. I'd also like a secret-decoder ring to go along with the membership card. I prefer this because I tend to by my PA merchandise at events rather than online.

    2. You could be using your influence over the legions for greater things.

    3. Yeah, I was worried about this too. To be honest, I was only able to see 2 or 3 panels last year because everything was so overcrowded. I hate the idea of not being able to include everyone, but I do think that there needs to be an attendance cap. I'm sure having another PAX on the east coast will help with this issue.

    4. WHOOOOOOOOO!

    Bogey, I totally get you on the overcrowding. We're doing a ton of work on making sure the overcrowding doesn't impact the quality of the attendee experience this year. We know that last year it was an issue.

    Fuckin' Hodgman

    And how the fuck did that Felicia Day chick beat Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot? This entire contest is a farce!

    Also I'm voting for ClubPA over the loyalty program and I don't have enough money to go to PAX especially since I am on the complete opposite side of the country and it makes me sad

    Okay that's all.



    1. Revamp of ClubPA, absolutely. Reward loyalty to the comic, not to the merchandise.

    2. Now that you linked it, G&T will definitely win again.

    3. What's the max headcount?

    4. Okay

    5. What is First Party?

    6. Get up to Boston you asian lilly.

    Hi nads!

    Meiss: what changed from last year isn't much... and that's the problem. We're pretty much working with the same amount of space (a little more actually), and I think last year we stress tested the center on capacity. Mix that with our 2x growth rate each year, and yeah- we've got serious problems. THat's why we're going to have to cap it this year.

    1) International location means unless club PA has electronic benefits, neither is likely to entice me. Shipping is a bitch.

    2) Who? Some dude from some ad campaign not shown in this country vs. dudes I check on every day... hmmm.

    3) Rather than a bigger location, could you make PAX longer? Like, five days? Would it help at all?

    4) Will do.
