I think we need to do another upfront. We did one last June that Tatertat arranged, but since she's inactive and I'm an event president (for the time being), I figured I could start the preparations.

I don't know if we can get all of the necessary information and preparation etc. in time to do it this year, but if we can it should probably be around November. That gives us plenty of time without overlapping with Halloween or Christmas, which will likely have their own events (Halloween already has one in the works). If not, probably January or March (to not overlap with Valentine's Day).

This upfront would follow a similar setup to last year's - a red carpet with the stars attending, some performances, and various announcements or previews. The biggest announcement would be Wiki Channel's new programming block (name TBD I hope because I don't like WikI @ Nite), and I think we could have a day dedicated to announcements based around it to fill in where we don't really have any announcements for normal Wiki Channel.

The logic behind this is the same as that behind my most recent Weebley - Wiki Channel has been dead, and in real life that would worry some of our fans. We need to give them information, and while a Weebley can help, the Upfront would be bigger and show that we still have the ability to put things together and we've got a lot to share.

I don't think we need to decide a specific schedule of things to be announced until this has been discussed and approved, since we won't have a good idea of when it will happen until that's all done. I don't want to say that we'll be announcing Star Wars Fulcrum to be premiering on November 18th (random example) and then we end up delaying it until February and suddenly we lose that news item. It would be better to get everything else sorted out and then start the schedule so it changes less.

Uh, yeah. Any questions?
