Actually, Jeff, we've been scaling up - albeit quietly - over the past year.
Among our other activities in the interim:
- Two writing workshops - Two meetings of our short fiction reading group with more planned for the near future. - Expanded social media presence on Livejournal, Facebook, Meetup.com and other online venues. - improved networking with other local fan groups including the Ottawa SF Society, the Ottawa Browncoats, KAG Canada, USS Magellan, Whovians of Ottawa and others yet to be named
As to the timing re: those other events, there is some small overlap in the target audiences, but we don't expect that to be a factor re: attendance at this point.
CAN-CON is mostly a literary conference for now - and "literary" includes comic books for our purposes! - so that avoids too much conflict with the Animation Festival. Nuit Blanche is also more of a "multi-media" operation than we plan to be at this point.
