There is nothing wrong with a little advanced advertising! The sooner we get the word out, the more mainstream it will be when the event draws nearer.

Yes, it is something I am definitely going to try and plan to attend, but it is still a little to early to buy tickets.
I am going to make every effort to attend if my schedule permits, but weekends are NEVER good for me

You have plenty of time to take off work:) We are getting the word out in the general paranormal community now, yet we REALLY push it hard in the mainstream come around Halloween.
