Bill Harley in the Area. . .and Advertising Opportunity

One week away to the Family Famine: Hunger for Love premiere. . .and Bill Harley came to Utah to celebrate the countdown.

Okay.

So he was coming to Utah anyway.



And he could not stay for the premiere due to winning a second Grammy and flying to accept it on Saturday, February 7th.

He was one of the Keynote speakers/storytellers at the Timpanogos Storytelling Conference this upcoming weekend. He arrived early to perform for neighboring venues.

One of the grand places was Wheeler Farm.

This was hosted in partnership between the Salt Lake County Library System and the Timpanogos Storytelling Conference.

I called the library and asked permission to have a booth.

A clipboard was passed around with two email lists--the Utah Storytelling events and the Bill Harley newsletter--to the entire audience during the concert.

I was able to send the other events--including my premiere--that night to the people on the list.

So thank you, Bill Harley, for letting me reach out to other people to connect to the storytelling happenings in Utah. . .including my own event!

Until we tell again,

Making a Reusable Countdown for Premiere

Whenever there is a major movie or book to be released, there is usually a countdown connected with a huge poster or cardboard figure. I may not be going for a cardboard figure for "Family Famine: Hunger for Love", but I am looking to create a reusable countdown that can apply to the premiere date as well as to when I tour.

I have used countdowns on my blogs, "Voice--A Storyteller's Lifestyle" and "Family Famine: Hunger for Love", through Clocklink.com. Plus I have a countdown application on my profile page on Facebook through, which can be found under my "Boxes" tab. Unfortunately, this application is not allowed to be moved to my wall or main area for Facebook since the switch to the new Facebook. At least I still have the feature.

Frequent visits to the library and seeing their displays or the rare trips to the movie theatres allows me to apply techniques to my own projects.

As I find sponsors, hopefully some of them have moderate to heavy traffic from the general public. Perhaps they could display the countdowns for me.

I imagine most of these countdowns to be either 8 1/2 X 11 size or even 11 X 14 if I have a willing enough sponsor to work the descending numbers. The items I need to create a reusable countdown could be found from office supply to craft to school supply stores. In a later post I will share pictures of what I develop. In the meantime, I picked up some possibilities today (see pictures).

Feel free to share what types of supplies could make a reusable countdown. I would want something durable with a professional look. Most likely I am aiming for plastic. The lower right side would have a literature holder so I could place fliers of the event and/or have my business cards.
