I'm still accepting vids for this year's EMC vid show. Vids *do not* have to be new. We're happy to show your favorites regardless of their age. As always, I'm hoping for a good representation of fandoms. We had a great vid show last year and I'm hoping we'll continue in that tradition. We show the vids on a large screen through a projection system. We split the vid show into a gen and slash segments, and provide information to the audience about the vidders and their vids.

We're hoping to have this year's vid show ready for distribution at the con if at all possible--which may depend on how late I get the very last vids.  If you're considering submitting your vids, please contact me at flamingoslim@erols.com to discuss format and delivery.

Many of you have asked me about getting last year's vid show on dvd. Well, don't faint, but we're working right now to have it available for purchase at the con. However, it would help if I had an idea of how many dvds to bring.  The show is on 2 disks, one gen and one slash. They will be standard playing dvds, and should work on anyone's machine for TV viewing or computer. Not everyone will want one or the other, so I am willing to sell them together or separately.

IF YOU ARE COMING TO THE CON AND INTERESTED IN PICKING UP THE GEN OR SLASH INDIVIDUAL DVDS OR THE WHOLE SHOW, PLEASE WRITE ME AT flamingoslim@erols.com or respond to this lj post.  If sending an email, please put in the subject line "EMC1 DVDS". I get a LOT of email, and your request may get buried in my inbox otherwise. Let me know if you want gen, slash, or both.  This will help me estimate how many to bring to the con.

The double set of dvds will be $10 and a single will cost $8. (Since the packaging and disk costs are similar, as are duplication fees, printing costs, ink, etc., the single dvd can't cost half of the double. Sorry. Consider the double set a real bargain.)

If you sent a vid to be shown at EMC last year, you get a free contributor's copy of the entire show. So, don't send me a note, you're covered.  We will do mail orders AFTER the con, so you don't have to send me a note about that either.

Thanks for your interest AND your patience!

I'm still recovering from throwing my Starsky & Hutch convention, SHareCon, last weekend, and now I'm ready to knuckle down and prepare this year's EMC vid show. As always, I'm hoping for a good representation of fandoms. We had a great vid show last year and I'm hoping we'll continue in that tradition. We split the vid show into a gen and slash segments, and provide information to the audience about the vidders and the vids they've contributed.

Don't faint, but we're hoping to have last year's vid show available on DVD at the con. It's taken awhile to work out some technical issues, but the master disks are cut and we should start duplication this week. It will be a two disk set, and we're not sure of the price, but it will be nominal to allow us to cover costs for disks, jackets, printing costs, etc. So, if you enjoyed last year's vid show, soon it can be yours. We will also offer it for mail order once the con is over. Since we have worked out a number of the technical issues, we're hoping to have this year's vid show ready for distribution very soon after the con.

So, if you have vids you'd like to contribute to the con, please contact me at flamingoslim@erols.com to discuss format and delivery.

thanks!

Posting this for the concomm:

The Eastern Media Con Event Code for online room reservation is EMC.

When making an online room reservation, please be sure to enter EMC as your event code...this code will ensure that the convention receives credit for your stay (which will help us keep costs low, as well as keep the concom out of debtor’s prison) and that you get the convention rate.

Thanks to everyone who emailed about this issue. Your questions help us help you! :^)

Pax,
Kath Moonshine

flamingoslim posted this update on the con mailing list after someone asked the status of the dvds of the vid show from the con:

Don't lose hope!!! After EMC1 I also ran the marathon Zcon vid show,
during which I ran into technical problems I didn't have at EMC -- which
meant I'd done something wrong with the digital formating that I hadn't
done at EMC. Until I figured out what I'd done wrong, I didn't dare try
to produce any vids for distribution. Just a week ago my vid consultant
and I were able to spend a day dealing with this and discovered the
problem and also worked on the compression issue. I'm hoping to get a
few days to reassemble the vid show -- EMC's and Zcons, and produce
masters I can distribute.

This was posted recently on the EasterMediaCon mailing list and I'm posting it here with permission.

Hi Everyone;

Over the past few months, we've had a bunch of new people join our list, many of whom were Z-Con Goers and are interested in learning about our con since ZCon has retired. I know the list has been quiet of late, so it's probably hard for the new folks to get a sense of us and what we're about.

I expect the list to become more active as the con draws nearer. In the meantime, though, if anyone who attended EMC 1 would like to talk a little about what made their experience great, I'm sure the folks who are still trying to decide would find your comments helpful.

New members should also be aware that they can read old EMC posts on the YahooGroups website. There were a bunch of GREAT post con reports that were sent by members, many of which might give you a good idea of how things went at EMC 1.

I'm glad to see the website and LJ updated for this year's con. I'm hoping you guys will have an even bigger crowd this year.

I had a great time at the con last year. Enjoyed the food that was provided and the entertainment was great. You guys had some fresh ideas -- like the fannish talent show and the other characters the concomm played. (I was tickled to get pressed into service to help "carry" the HP sorting hat up to the stage, too!) And the vid show Flamingo did was one of the best I've ever attended.

The dealer's room was wonderful -- I enjoyed meeting the new dealers and having such a great selection of stuff to buy. It was small but that made it feel close like the whole con. And I loved the con space too -- nice and intimate and safe behind the glass walls from the "mundane" community outside.

I'm really looking forward to coming again this fall!
