Let me begin with a THANK YOU to all for your hard work this weekend. We extensively covered the Wing Fest with three writers and five photographers, not to mention video too (the t-shirt toss was a blast). There were several other events too – Wallflowers, Great Big Sea, Toby Keith, Crue Fest, UB Fall Fest, high school football and Birds of Prey at Hawk Creek. WOW! Great work by all!!!! Check out the site to read the articles and see the tons of photos (search wing and you’ll see lots). We’ll be working on that video too.
This weekend, it doesn’t slow down too much. First, Thursday is the UB Block Party. We’ll have a tent set up to register people for MyBuffalo and give out free stuff from Best Buy. So far I have Joe and Kelly headed to the event along with myself. If you’d like to join us, let me know. Music is Art is Saturday, we have Dave, Joe, and Darleen who’ll be taking photos and Deandra who’ll be writing an article…I’ll also be there, let me know if you’d like to join us.
Curtain Up is Friday night. I can’t go (my father’s birthday), I need at least one photographer and writer to cover it. Let me know ASAP.
Want to hang out with the tailgaters in a couple weeks? We need a volunteer or two to take photos at the smaller lots for the first Bills home game.
You’ll notice there are several collegiate athletics events on the list. Our target demographic for MyBuffalo.com is 18-34. If we can cover as many as possible, these college games will be big for the site, since they get little media attention.
Please keep our “demo” in mind when you’re taking photos and interviewing people for the site. Young attractive people mean more page views. We were lacking some of these photos at the concerts this weekend.
There’s TONS of other stuff going on this week too.
