June 12 - NXNE Toronto - call for artists

[fantasygoat]

Comparing this to last year isn't a fair comparison - last year was totally last minute (like a week's notice) with no promotion and they threw us in the back corner of the registration room.

This year there is supposed to be real promotion and a dedicated room.

Cool, so have you seen stuff around town promoting already? I kinda feel like this is kinda short notice, but we've also been away and didnt hear about it until now unfortunately.

I'm thinking were probably gonna try it out, its so close why not? The only thing thats weird is the "requirement" to do a poster for NXNE, when they only need 2 copies of it. Were so booked up I'm not sure we will have time to put one together. I'll have to check in to see if its an absolute must.

It'd do it, but I don't have any posters except for a couple Bob Log III's and Electric Frankenstein's sitting around... maybe I will just get a booth for the hell of it and drink beer... sorta like SXSW, I'll see if 8-Ball wants to sit in my booth

Jeremy, Beth... from what I have received isn't it at Dundas Square this year??? that could be potentially super high traffic...

I am 100% sure you don't need to do a poster for NXNE.

The poster show will be at our downtown conference headquarters on the 12th. And yes, there will a bar just a few steps away from the show!

The tradefloor is open to the public and in one room will be our MusicExpo - a more typical trade show style event - and in the other will be our registration area, a bar, some lounge-y spaces, an acoustic stage and the poster show'll be right in the center on prime real estate. No back corners this year! Keep in mind this year there's been a lot of string pulling for the show to land itself on prime real estate, so we really need to show that the community is interested in participating. So invite a friend and let's show everyone that this deserves to be even bigger and better in future years!

As for Dundas Square, we can't conduct the poster show there. Would it be ideal to have it there? Sure, but the cost would be prohibitive. But will the poster show have a presence at Dundas Square? That's what we've been working on for a while now. We anticipate it'll pan out and this is one of the reasons we're hoping for, and asking that, each poster artist design an NXNE '08 poster. That way we can display them at Dundas Square as well as another piece of artists work. There will be a lot of movement and activity in the square and we'd love to have everyone's work and name right there for everyone to see!

dundas square area sucks. Nathan Philips square would be better place for an outdoor exhibit!
i was part of this last year. i'm not going to complain because the show was organized at the very last minute. I still had a good time!

i can't participate this year because i already have things planned for that week. I'll do it next year though.

I think I and mr Benjamin Nelson will be attending, I think he has a booth . . .

[Matt McCracken]

Andrew and I will be there. Looking forward to seeing everyone!
