(Ever notice how some people say "Future Plans"?  Somehow,
planning the past seems futile....)

Thanks to a number of generous contributors, I've collected
$355.  Taking out the $80 needed to make up the $120 press
release fee for PRWeb left $275 to use on other projects.
I didn't have a banner to display above my table, and was
going to make a throwaway paper one, but with some of the
extra money I decided to buy a simple vinyl Go Cryo! banner
that can be used multiple times.  2'x4', hemmed, grommetted,
$41.45 including shipping and tax.  If you find a better
price, let me know!

Since the Frozen Dead Guy Days won't be an issue for another
eleven months or so, I'm expecting to use the remaining $235
(keep the change ;-) ) to pay for booth space at one or two
likely local festivals/conferences in the meantime.  I'll be
casting about for low-cost, high-impact venues.  Frozen Dead
Guy Days has the advantage of being instant news just
because it's unusual, and that I get free display space and
time because I work the convention.

I thought I had a chance to get on TV, but it would have cost
too much.  Living In Style, http://www.eastshoreproductions.com/ ,
was willing to sell me a 60-90 second scripted spot on their
health and wellness show, in a "new possibilities" slot, for
$5900.  If it had been an interview, I might have expected to
be edited to oblivion, but scripted....  I dream of the day
when Go Cryo! may have that kind of money to spend.  I may not
want to spend it there, but for the moment I'm happy I was
offered space on a health and fitness show rather than on
"news of the weird".


Live long and prosper,
Kennita
