• The Eleventh Hour

  It's been a bit from my last post. But I've got an excuse called event review and placement for over 4500 events . I know I might sound like a broken record, but it's insane that actual event placement is already done for almost all events...

• The event catalog previews

  So the event placement process continues. I'm still neck-deep in reviewing and placing events. Just about everything from cycle 1 is done, but I need to get through cycles 2 and 3 in about a week or so. Should be fun. The whole process has been very...

• The first batch of event locations are released months early!

  Every year people ask for event details to be released earlier and this year we have to keep a much tighter eye on space, so we tried to kill several birds with one stone by kinda of combining event review with event placement and just try to take care...

• Short and sweet - prepping for event placement

  Let's try something shorter and simpler this time around. Maybe I can keep up with that a bit better. So I've spent pretty much the entire week wrestling around in Excel, making the new event grid for 2008 that we use to place all the events....

• Event submission has begun!

  Event submission began on February 3 rd and in almost 2 weeks we’ve already received more than 1300 events. It looks like our new cyclical event review and placement schedule has really worked at getting people to submit events earlier this year. I don...

• Updates at the 11th Hour

  So it’s about two hours before I fly out to Indy. I’m leaving at the ass-crack of dawn to get in pretty early on Sunday afternoon. I’ll probably be worthless most of the rest of the day but I hope to get to email again tonight. Either way I should be...

• Inside the Event Placement Studio

  OK, so I've arrived in Columbus for Origins - and discovered I'm booked in the wrong damn hotel. Perfect time/place for a blog post, right? So I said I was going to talk about event placement, that I had a lot to say. Let's see if that's true. So how...

• New events, locations online - more later at Origins

  I'm a bit rushed right now doing some last-minute preparations for my trip to Origins (I'm running games at noon on Friday & Saturday - stop in and say hi!) but I wanted to put up a quick note: A bunch of new events (including more anime & film...

• Star Wars Celebration IV casts a long shadow

  Well, Star Wars Celebration IV was something else. Something else indeed. I think it ate something like three weeks of my life, leaving me with just blurred memories of stormtroopers, long lines, and chocolate milk chug-offs to show for it. I have to...
