I'm interested in following your other comments up.
I'm a fairly recent part of the "Rolling Perth Room Party" that likes to "gatecrash" eastern states cons and REALLY enjoyed the two Continuums, I'd be curious to see who has being saying "Eastern Staters hate Sandgropers".
I know some elements of the Swancon going public would whinge about which horizon the sun comes up on. Hell, they whinge about every other bloody aspect of all the cons they attend...
I say "F*ck em!" and if you can't ignore em, let me (or Null Space or any number of other Coast crossing congoers) and we'll make sure they know that the welcome we get in the east has always been brilliant!
As for promotion, it's really hard to get posters and flyers out and about in WA, let alone across the country. What I think we SHOULD be doing is making sure ads appear in appropriate publications and on mailing lists for other cons. Cross promotion and all that.
(I am, admittedly sensitive about this cos I am theoretically running a Con in November over here)
