We have lots going on with our Sci-Fi Horror Fest this year. A big announcement we made a few days ago.	SPEAKER_11	5.265	3.003905	en
Yes, yes. We have made	SPEAKER_05	5.484	2.844293	en
First of all, let me say you guys are my man and I love you so much. COVID has forced us to think and make decisions and COVID	SPEAKER_05	12.335	3.111216	en
has obviously forced our hand financially in a lot of ways.	SPEAKER_05	4.894	3.159218	en
And we had to, unfortunately, I'm so sad because we had to postpone this year. Cause right now we'd be at sci-fi.	SPEAKER_05	6.109	2.09003	en
Right now we be in the Foothills Performing Arts Center.	SPEAKER_11	3.172	2.786304	en
right now just having a conversation right now and cleaning up for tomorrow.	SPEAKER_11	4.016	3.035072	en

Yep, and actually Dr. Dirty would be on stage right now.	SPEAKER_05	3.864	3.17059	en

that, you know, it's a really, it's not even bittersweet this weekend, it's just bitter. But	SPEAKER_05	5.653	3.013703	en
Um, cause not only are we missing our slugs, but I'm missing you guys. I'm missing our other family who comes and sets up and, you know, everybody else, but.	SPEAKER_05	7.223	3.397276	en
We were really kind of forced to make this decision for a couple of reasons, but mainly we want to grow and continue sci-fi horror fest.	SPEAKER_05	8.977	3.147759	en
And so giving all the considerations, we thought, you know what, we might have to make a change of venue. And so we did, and we decided.	SPEAKER_05	8.336	3.264595	en
We were approached by somebody who told us to look at Vernon Downs and so we did and Vernon Downs was.	SPEAKER_05	6.396	3.294458	en
Very awesome. We went and we looked at the facility and we talked to the people and it fits what we need. It fits the area geographic location because it's 20 minutes from Utica.	SPEAKER_05	11.863	3.120178	en
It's 35, 40 minutes from Syracuse, you know, and everybody out there.	SPEAKER_05	6.48	2.611808	en
Everybody out there	SPEAKER_02	3.898	2.120682	en
Correct. Everybody out there loves horror and sci-fi, but I have to say like I loved	SPEAKER_05	5.67	3.101153	en
the foothills. I love Jeff and Katrina and Shane and I love Hope at	SPEAKER_05	5.839	3.384474	en
the Hampton Inn Hotel, who sponsored us. By the way, if you're ever out in Onayana, go to the Hampton. It's the most fabulous place. It's comfortable. The staff is amazingly accommodating and sweet. And the Foothills is an excellent convention center.	SPEAKER_05	14.327	3.168166	en
That stage is just amazing. Absolutely.	SPEAKER_02	3.054	3.322667	en
Oh, a thousand percent. Having the theater at our fingertips was fantastic. You know, and Jeff and them are great, but unfortunately,	SPEAKER_05	6.514	3.284807	en
In the convention world, you have to make decisions you don't want to make in order to maintain your business.	SPEAKER_05	5.754	2.413118	en
not to mention recent recent events in Oneana have kind of shied a lot of people away from doing things.	SPEAKER_11	7.02	2.484156	en
Pretty much, yeah. Who would have thought we became the fucking COVID capital of central New York over a span of weeks?	SPEAKER_11	6.007	2.704832	en
Yeah, well, now it's not just you guys. I mean, it's from county. It's I mean,	SPEAKER_05	3.999	2.856298	en
Yeah. Well, but Brooke County didn't have a SUCO with over a thousand or nearly a thousand cases, you know, because, yeah. So.	SPEAKER_11	7.509	3.089785	en
Yeah, you know, but I'm hoping by the time next year, that won't be an issue. But, you know, we're all hoping that, but it sucks. But same token, like we're really, really excited.	SPEAKER_05	10.445	3.192159	en
We've already started booking celebrities, which will be announcing after the new year, along with some, um, Contests. I mean, we're revamping a little bit because technically we're not exactly starting over, but you know, we're just kind of.	SPEAKER_05	11.02	3.141943	en
starting a new chapter and from there we're going to grow and, you know, and, and meet our goals from there. I'm so excited. I think.	SPEAKER_05	6.497	3.098784	en
It's going to be a really excellent change given the demographic of where we're going to be the location. Everybody out there is horror hungry.	SPEAKER_05	7.273	3.165621	en
and sci-fi hungry which makes my heart pitter-patter.	SPEAKER_05	3.274	2.788224	en
Well, this is what I want to bring up here, because what you're doing	SPEAKER_02	3.426	2.883532	en
is you're filling a void because JV Johnson has decided to get out of the convention game for the most part. This was a decision that was made before COVID.	SPEAKER_02	7.931	2.974535	en
We knew about this last year when Scaracon was at the Roach Hotel in Rochester.	SPEAKER_02	4.287	3.106545	en
Okay, that was horrifying. That was like the worst convention experience I've ever had was going	SPEAKER_02	6.835	3.397708	en
First of all, we love JB. And we honestly didn't make this decision with him in mind.	SPEAKER_05	4.573	3.175474	en
I mean, afterwards I was kind of like, oh, but I'm like, well, you know what? It's still kind of different, but it's okay.	SPEAKER_05	5.4	2.826557	en
But the one thing I've learned about the convention game, you're never going to make everybody happy.	SPEAKER_05	4.792	2.483589	en
He's not running conventions anymore anyway. Sometimes you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet.	SPEAKER_11	4.792	2.197759	en
That's right. So you're filling this void that he has left. And I think it's a great opportunity for you to help, and especially at Vernon Downs, because it's not as big as Turning Stone.	SPEAKER_02	10.277	3.250505	en
And it's a bigger, but it is about the same size, if not a little bigger than the Performing Arts Center in Oneonta.	SPEAKER_02	10.125	2.76036	en
It's a little bigger. It's a little bigger like I will never ever right now we're not	SPEAKER_05	4.944	2.95259	en
as big as JV and JV is a part of the smaller convention. You know, as far as like,	SPEAKER_05	6.109	3.129714	en
If you're comparing him to like monster Palooza and things like that, he's on the smaller end of the thing. We are too, and we're building up. We don't want to, and I'm going to say this and it might be unpopular.	SPEAKER_05	12.707	3.04778	en
We don't want to be Monster Palooza or Midsummer Scream or anything like that. We want to stay to where...	SPEAKER_05	5.197	2.667283	en
people, we can have control of it because you make the less people happy when you bite off far more than you can chew.	SPEAKER_05	6.868	2.624206	en
Right. Right. Also, one thing that was nice about ScareCon and Sci-Fi Horror Fest is you do get that more intimate, up-close experience with, you know,	SPEAKER_11	8.151	3.033144	en
fellow fans and celebrities and such. It's a lot more hands-on whereas you go to Monster Palooza or Texas Frightmare.	SPEAKER_11	6.936	3.309302	en

We were really kind of forced to make this decision for a couple of reasons, but mainly we want to grow and continue sci-fi horror fest.

SPEAKER_05

8.977

3.147759

en

And so giving all the considerations, we thought, you know what, we might have to make a change of venue. And so we did, and we decided.

We were approached by somebody who told us to look at Vernon Downs and so we did and Vernon Downs was.

6.396

3.294458

Very awesome. We went and we looked at the facility and we talked to the people and it fits what we need. It fits the area geographic location because it's 20 minutes from Utica.

It's 35, 40 minutes from Syracuse, you know, and everybody out there.

the foothills. I love Jeff and Katrina and Shane and I love Hope at

SPEAKER_05

the Hampton Inn Hotel, who sponsored us. By the way, if you're ever out in Onayana, go to the Hampton. It's the most fabulous place. It's comfortable. The staff is amazingly accommodating and sweet. And the Foothills is an excellent convention center.

Oh, a thousand percent. Having the theater at our fingertips was fantastic. You know, and Jeff and them are great, but unfortunately,

In the convention world, you have to make decisions you don't want to make in order to maintain your business.

SPEAKER_05

5.754

2.413118

not to mention recent recent events in Oneana have kind of shied a lot of people away from doing things.

Pretty much, yeah. Who would have thought we became the fucking COVID capital of central New York over a span of weeks?

Yeah, well, now it's not just you guys. I mean, it's from county. It's I mean,

Yeah, you know, but I'm hoping by the time next year, that won't be an issue. But, you know, we're all hoping that, but it sucks. But same token, like we're really, really excited.

We've already started booking celebrities, which will be announcing after the new year, along with some, um, Contests. I mean, we're revamping a little bit because technically we're not exactly starting over, but you know, we're just kind of.

starting a new chapter and from there we're going to grow and, you know, and, and meet our goals from there. I'm so excited. I think.

SPEAKER_05

3.098784

It's going to be a really excellent change given the demographic of where we're going to be the location. Everybody out there is horror hungry.

and sci-fi hungry which makes my heart pitter-patter.

SPEAKER_05

2.788224

en

Well, this is what I want to bring up here, because what you're doing

SPEAKER_02

3.426

2.883532

en

is you're filling a void because JV Johnson has decided to get out of the convention game for the most part. This was a decision that was made before COVID.

SPEAKER_02

7.931

2.974535

We knew about this last year when Scaracon was at the Roach Hotel in Rochester.

SPEAKER_02

4.287

3.106545

en

Okay, that was horrifying. That was like the worst convention experience I've ever had was going

SPEAKER_02

3.397708

First of all, we love JB. And we honestly didn't make this decision with him in mind.

SPEAKER_05

4.573

3.175474

I mean, afterwards I was kind of like, oh, but I'm like, well, you know what? It's still kind of different, but it's okay.

SPEAKER_05

2.826557

But the one thing I've learned about the convention game, you're never going to make everybody happy.

He's not running conventions anymore anyway. Sometimes you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet.

SPEAKER_11

4.792

2.197759

en

That's right. So you're filling this void that he has left. And I think it's a great opportunity for you to help, and especially at Vernon Downs, because it's not as big as Turning Stone.

SPEAKER_02

10.277

3.250505

en

And it's a bigger, but it is about the same size, if not a little bigger than the Performing Arts Center in Oneonta.

It's a little bigger. It's a little bigger like I will never ever right now we're not

as big as JV and JV is a part of the smaller convention. You know, as far as like,

SPEAKER_05

3.129714

en

If you're comparing him to like monster Palooza and things like that, he's on the smaller end of the thing. We are too, and we're building up. We don't want to, and I'm going to say this and it might be unpopular.

SPEAKER_05

12.707

3.04778

en

We don't want to be Monster Palooza or Midsummer Scream or anything like that. We want to stay to where...

people, we can have control of it because you make the less people happy when you bite off far more than you can chew.

SPEAKER_05

6.868

2.624206

Right. Right. Also, one thing that was nice about ScareCon and Sci-Fi Horror Fest is you do get that more intimate, up-close experience with, you know,

SPEAKER_11

8.151

fellow fans and celebrities and such. It's a lot more hands-on whereas you go to Monster Palooza or Texas Frightmare.
