I know the...Thanks for picking up Fifty Plus, Dave. I know the editor very well... oh, okay, I am the editor.<br /><br />(Two points of clarification: 1. We don't sell copy space in the magazine; the Virginia Arts Festival did not pay for coverage. 2. The website is--knock on wood--almost back to normal. A switch in hosts went horribly wrong and our webmaster has had an aggravating week trying to get things straightened out.)<br /><br />You know, the interesting thing about the Virginia Arts Festival is that more than a handful of the acts have been to Richmond--or are from Richmond. Also--though I'm not sure they're related--I got the impression that the Festival organizers focused their advertising/publicity efforts farther afield, so as to attract visitors who would stay for 2 or 3 days in hotels and spend more dollars in the region.<br /><br />But your point about advertising is absolutely true. And, as you've mentioned before, simple publicity doesn't even take dollars so much as preparedness. We use more photos from Barksdale in our magazine NOT because they're an advertiser but because they're one of the few places in town (and I'm including anybody who puts on any kind of event) that sends high-quality, high-res photos, before deadline, with complete caption and credit info, without me having to make any phone calls.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09361977355435602010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29175306.post-87938397418005335152009-05-22T17:32:56.555-04:002009-05-22T17:32:56.555-04:00This is wonderful news about NLC!
