It was posted to many different lists in Southern California, including
Palmdale Pagans, Victorvalley Pagans, Calpagan, Socal pagans, Witchvox, and
as many others as I could find. But your'e right we can always use more
publicity. Part of it was, I did not personally go and vend this year at Los
Angeles Pagan Pride Day and give out flyers- that is always good publicity
for our event, giving out flyers at other PPD's and at other public events
such as Pacific Circle and others.

I also really think that scheduling the event on the first of the month, and
the fact that there was a major fire and a lot of smoke the day before
affected people's ability to come out and play this year.

I know Daniel mailed quite a few flyers out to vendors who requested them,
and we had some passed out but not as many as in previous years.

Attendance was about the same as it was last year. We had 218 people who
signed the book but I kept finding people there who didn't stop at the sign
in table, so I think there were a lot who did not sign in, or who came in
from another corner.

Thank you for the offer of Security Chief! I have four (there are two more
floating around somewhere, used to be six) radios available for use the day
of the event. Though the few times I used them I couldn't hear anyone. :(
Fortunately I have a loud voice and Wes heard me :))
