Great news 10-12-11

Hey everyone!

    So we finally have some actual news.  After a bit of haggling from Wolfeh and me, FurAffinity is now running our ad for FREE for the next 6 months!  So that's a pretty big deal.  Hopefully that'll raise awareness quite a bit. 

    Also, as the date is now definitely in 2013, we've re-negotiated with the hotel we're hoping to host Furaleigh at.  They're very understanding of our need to do 2013 instead of 2012 as we originally (very optimistically) told them, and for almost the same terms.  The price per room has gone up by about 5 bucks, but that's probably just to cover inflation more than anything else.  All the room block requirements are also the same, as well as the free con space should we be able to fill them up.  Pretty good news there too.

    That's the word for Furaleigh, stay tuned as we're going through staff apps.  We've received a LOT of them so hopefully we can start getting in touch with people in the next couple weeks.  Thanks again to everyone for sticking with us!

Also an additional note.  We have not actually booked the con space yet.  We have reserved it for the dates we need.  We'll probably need a permit and definitly a corporation set up before we book it.  Thanks to ShogunFox for pointing out a need for clarification.

We will need some sort of permit probably. We haven't booked the con space yet, no payment has been made. We've reserved the space for the dates we need it. Once we get a corporation / money / people in place we'll book it. I should probably clarify that in the journal actually.

@Shogunfox: You will need some form of permit. Whether from the City of Raleigh or under the hotel contract.This will be for liability reasons, among others. If you do not have these, make sure you have a designated lawyer and an accountant.

Once you get your contract signed, be sure to contact us with your ad so we can do an ad swap with you.

Good luck!

Wow, this sounds really cool. This will be great for those living in the south that cant afford travel. I really hope this begins because this will be very popular, I can tell.

What might those dates be? I understand it may be sometime in January... is that correct?
