Events 10/26/09

Here we are Halloween week – one of the biggest weeks of the year for web traffic on Buffalo.com! I’m hoping many of you will volunteer for one of the many events.



The events list is a little bit different this time around. I’ve listed Haunted Houses, Halloween Parties, then everything else going on in WNY, some holiday-related some not.



We were requested to cover the Darwin Martin House Fundraiser on October 29. See the list for more information.



Remember those “Smile for the Camera” shots and remember to incorporate your photo titles with your event descriptions!



Keep in mind – when you request an event don’t reply to this email – just send me another email with all the details, and I’ll do all the legwork.



The Rack ‘em Up contest is officially over, which means all your Buffalo.com cards are now outdated. I’m working on getting new ones, and will keep you posted. Use the old ones until the new ones come in.



Thank you!

Events 10/19/09

Hey all,

• You’ll notice that the events list this week is smaller than usual. Why? Because our target audience is 18-34 and some of the events going on this week don’t fit that demo. If you know of events that I left out that would be perfect for our 18-34 target demo, please let me know.

• With that same thought in mind, you’ll notice shows on this list that take place at Mohawk Place, XTreme Wheels, etc. if the performer/bands doesn’t sound familiar, do a google search and head over to the MySpace page. We’d like to target the local music scene and up-and-coming bands…and these are ways to do it.

• Halloween is right around the corner – it’s traditionally a HUGE time for the site. Lots of people come to our site to see photos of the unique and unusual costumes. If you know of local bars/clubs hosting costume events (other than what’s listed here), fill me in and we’ll get you in the door. We still haven’t found a writer or photographer volunteer to check out the Haunted Catacombs in Cheektowaga or Fright Fest at Darien Lake…what, are you scared?

• College interns, are on-campus events slow? Take a community event this week and take photos or write an article about something off campus!

• Photographers: is everyone writing a description and appropriate title for your photos? The titles have improved, but many photos are being uploaded without proper descriptions. The sets/multi-photo uploader tool is coming VERY SOON.

• Writers: are you tagging your stories? Keep in mind that keywords are important when it comes to search.

• Also, if you know of a big show/concert, etc. that is coming up in the next month and you want to cover it, let me know that info as well. I reviewed AC/DC last night. No show - no matter how big or small - is out of question.

Thanks!
