STERANKO!!

Hey Comiconiacs,

It's not often that I can get your attention with just one word, but I think it
is safe to say when that one word is "Steranko" interests are suddenly peaked.

I know that I am often prone to hyperbole, it is my job after all,
but in Jim Steranko's case it is all warranted.
Mr. Steranko is an artistic visionary
and we are so proud to announce that he will be our Guest of Honor at the 2013
Pittsburgh Comicon-September 27-29
There will be plenty of more details to come about Mr. Steranko's appearance in
the coming days so stay tuned!!!

Besides the addition of Jim Steranko to a guest list that already sported such
names as George Perez, Barry Kitson, Michael Golden, Jim Balent and more.

We also added this week,

Spider-man Artist, Alex Saviuk
Pop-Culture Guru from Comic Book Men, Robert Bruce
Comic Book Artist and Co-Creator of Blue Devil, Paris Cullins
and more!!!!
For a full list of current guests visit www.pittsburghcomicon.com

We're still more than 1/2 a year away from Pittsburgh Comicon 2013 but I don't
envision us slowing down anytime soon,
so you can expect to be hearing a lot more from me.  Stay Tuned!!

OK crew, we are looking at a number of possibilities for creating a better
online presence for the Comicon.  With the number of smartphones and iwhatevers
out there, we have to find what path will give us the biggest bang for the buck.
The Pittsburgh Comicon website, www.pittsburghcomicon.com, is the primary
contact point for show info and updates.  Then, there are Patrick's update
emails, which everyone looks forward too.

I am trying to get a feel for how many of you would be interested in a
downloadable app, Apple and Android compatible, that would act like a 'virtual'
program guide, provide up-to-minute cancellation info, allow you to post on
facebook or tweet within the app about the show, provide a map of the showfloor,
facilities and surrounding Monroeville area, and a contain a list of vendors and
guests, with info on each. Give me your thoughts, positive or negative and why,
as we really want to gauge the usefulness of this opportunity to our fans.

What about a mobile website instead of an app? Wizard tried something with an app and I thought it would work well but I never touched it as it wasn't updated. I think the biggest thing is the folks that create this actually be committed to the up-to-date operations of it. Otherwise it'll just be an app with outdated info. Show reminders/notifications via text or some such would be awesome since people may not be able to hear the PA system of things going on at the show. They could subscribe to specific events, signings or what not, whether through Twitter or Facebook feeds as well.

I actually did think about creating a mobile website at one point, Andrew. 
However, my end logic was that a mobile website would still suffer from same lag
that we experience with the main website.  The potential of the product we are
looking at would allow us to update the app contents on the fly and push out
updates to users, as well as, provide event updates via message pushes.  Thanks
for your input, it helps me identify what type of service we need to look for
and try to get up and running.

This is a good idea BUT not everyone has a smartphone so you can NOT forget about those people and leave them out in the dark.

I love the idea of push notifications during con, I find myself scrambling to get places after I realize oh darn this panel starts in like 2 minutes also if someone could figure out how to do the text notifications for those without smartphones you're covering them too, like the 6 number services that companies use to send out stuff via text. "Text CON to 555-555" for example.

Comicon Fans Assemble!!  The Pittsburgh Comicon has a new twitter handle,
@PittComicon.  The old account had kind of drifted into the great unknown that
is cyberspace and it left without a way to recall it, so a new account is born!
Follow us to receive updates and announcements.  We will also be tweeting during
the show to provide updates, guest and programming announcements, last-minute
cancellations, and more!  The adventure continues.....on twitter!
