East Coast Ranger Gathering

Baltimore, MD, September 18-20, 2009

Thanks to Lee, John and BeeBull they have secured the Hotel for the East Coast Ranger Gathering in Baltimore, MD which will be held September 18-20, 2009. Lee spoke with the sales department today requesting a block of 10-15 rooms with a rate of $89-99.

Hilton Garden Inn Baltimore/Arundel Mills
7491-A New Ridge Road
Hanover, Maryland, 21076
Tel: 1-410-878-7200

Arundel Mills is all new area and has largest mall in Md. Nice area; also BWI hotels and very close to BWI and Baltimore. We are also looking to go to visit Ft. McHenry, where the Star Spangled Banner was penned, the Baltimore Inner Harbor and on Saturday Night we are planning to attend the Baltimore Orioles vs. the Boston Redsox game at Camden yards.

We need people to post to this thread as I will be ordering the game tickets in advance. Baltimore is like Fenway Park South, Redsox Fans swarm to Camden Yards to watch the games so the tickets will go fast.

This promises to be a great time. So who is In?

You can join the discussion and post how many game tickets you will need in either of these two places:

Jericho Graphic Novel/Comic Update

June 26, 2009

Ratkeeper received a response to our questions from Devils Due Publishing:

• The Jericho comic will be out monthly, starting in October.
• How does DDP want us to do to help them promote the Jericho comic? Message boards! And by that I mean visiting the comic sites such as Newsarama and Comic Book Resources and be vocal on their boards. You can also get a friend into the book, shoot for people that aren't even into comics. It's a wonderful thing when new people get into comics because of a title like this.
• What kind of promotional activities do they have planned and will they be attending any conventions to promote the Jericho comic? We're doing San Diego as you know and Wizard World Chicago this year. We'd be open to any suggestions.

We need to get Rangers to Chicago (Aug 6-9) and San Diego (July 23-26) [ San Diego Con is sold out, so you must already have a ticket to go] and to any other Regional comic book conventions we can get to.

Also we are looking for Rangers to get to the following conventions:

Charlotte July 12
Toronto 8/28-8/30
Philadelphia September 13
New York 10/16-10/18

http://www.conventionscene.com/schedules/comicbookconventions/ check out a local convention near you.

I am putting out a call to all Rangers, please contact Ratkeeper (see top of message for e-mail) or me if you can make Chicago.

Ratkeeper is working on putting together business cards and building a fan neutral website, with the goal of handing the cards out at conventions to reach new and old Jericho fans who are not online.
