BRAND NEW COMMUNICON FILM TRAILER

Hello my blueberries! Some wonderful people shot a bunch of footage at CommuniCon, and are putting together a documentary/short film, titled Intro to Communal Conventions. The film will be out in early May. In the meantime, we’ve been blessed with a trailer to tide us over.

This trailer is shot and edited by the fantastic Damien Barriga (), whom you may remember from such times as the awesome CommuniCon 2013 Intro video that was released on Tuesday. Thank you, Damien!

Special thanks also (from Damien and me) to Brittany Sterrett () and Annie Jeong ()!

ENYOY!

Human Beings! Check out the NEVER BEFORE SEEN CommuniCon intro video, which we weren’t able to play at the convention because of technical difficulties. Enjoy this while you look forward to the official CommuniCon documentary trailer, which will be released this Thursday night.

This is how I achieved closure after CommuniCon.

This video gave me the vapors. Thanks, Ren!

Hi everyone! So, I was really hoping to avoid this, but CommuniCon ended up costing me quite a bit of money, even after I applied the money from tickets and merchandise. I fronted all the costs myself, and was really hoping to break even, but that didn’t happen. I intentionally kept the ticket cost as low as possible, because I didn’t want anyone to miss out because of money. Unfortunately, while the ticket money covered the facility costs, I underestimated the costs of things beyond the facility itself (like sound equipment rental), overestimated the amount of interest in merchandise, and had no idea certain other costs would even exist (like event liability insurance).

So, I’m asking for a little help to try to break even (or at least come closer). If any of you that attended CommuniCon think it was worth more than the $25 admission cost, and have some extra dollars, that’d be really great. And if any of you who didn’t attend have some extra dollars and don’t mind parting with them to help put me in a better position to plan next year’s, that would be really greater!

If you’re interested and able to contribute to the Help Gillian Not Have Lost Quite So Much Money Putting Together CommuniCon Fund, you can use PayPal to send a “Gift” under the “Personal” tab. The email address is communicon1 (a) gmail (dot) com. If you are able to donate $25 (or more), I should be able to send you a small token of thanks. 

Regardless of whether you are able to donate $0 or $1 or anything else, thanks for reading this, and thanks for helping to make the inaugural CommuniCon so wonderful!

Love you, my blueberries. Hope to see you at the next one!

Gillian
