[atlantaprog] Re: promoting Rogue Fest

Hi all,

I can easily modify the Loaf ad to be used as an 8.5 x 11 flyer.  I only
need to go to the orig. source file and increase resolution for that size
and scale it - then I could e-mail it as a printable jpeg to someone for
print-out.  Just let me know and I'd be happy to do that.

Excellent ideas re: the discussion and newsgroup postings, Brian!  We could
hit those ASAP and then with a reminder the week before.

FYI to everyone, I have yet to speak voice to voice with anyone from the
Loaf or AJC about a feature story.  I have played a one sided game of phone
tag and e-mail press releases.  However, I can be very persistent and Brian
from Lord Only has offered to help with those calls if needed.  I'm
changing my strategy this week to include a mailing of material incl. the
sampler CD directly to them.  Once that's in hand we may have a better
response.

I'm also open to any other suggestions anyone may have.
