As promised, Wilmaville made an appearance at the launch yesterday of Laterna's new weekly Strictly Business Wednesday event. We were expecting the first one to be a bit slow. "Who cares?" I told my husband – who I cornered to attend with me when Elizabeth claimed she had to take care of her kids or work -- or some other lame excuse. Dan was giving me a bit of resistance. "If no one else is there," I offered. "It's a good reason to eat Yanni's cooking." Dan instantly dropped what he was doing and agreed, proving that the way to get his attention is to dangle yummy food in front of him.
We arrived promptly at 4 pm because this was clashing with our kids' 5:30 music lessons. We would have to dart in, mingle quickly, and dart out to pick up and drop off our future rock band at their respective piano and guitar lessons. A bit of hectic plan but it turned out to be well worth it.
There was a decent crowd. We saw a couple of people we knew. And we got to chat with Derek from Sea Comm Media, one of the sponsors of the event. (Sea Comm Media is responsible for The Penguin, The Bone, and the Big Talker radio shows.) Apparently Sea-Comm feels just as we do about Laterna: We want to see them survive this economy so we can keep eating there. Selfish? Call me Machiavelli. But it felt good to have a comrade in this mission.
The ads for this event rightfully announced, "Your network is your business." This is especially true of this town, where everything is word of mouth. Getting out and meeting the people who might want the business service you offer is essential to surviving a down economy – in any location. But this town? Gotta do it. Plus meeting up with potential clients is probably tax deductable. So it's a win-win -- especially when there's free food. It's even better if Yanni made that food. This was a sweet opportunity.
It certainly worked for me. Dan and I sat down and I set out my new book How to Be a Geek Goddess, thinking maybe someone would want to buy a signed copy. But I never got around to mentioning that my book was for sale. I did better than that. Derek offered to give a few copies away tonight at the Market Street Saloon, where The Bone (103.7) will be doing a live show from 6:30 to 8:30. "Bryan (from Bryan and Jims Morning Disaster) will have 3 or 4 live breaks during our remote from Market St. Saloon tonight," Derek emailed me this morning. "And he'll be mentioning Wilmaville.com and your new book!" Thanks Derek! I was only there an hour. I barely had time to sample the incredible hors d'oevres. But I got radio coverage. How awesome is that?
Now I'll bet you wish you had gone yesterday, don't you? No worries. There is always next week. I'm going to let Dan take the kids to music and find someone else to go with me. Takers?
But before next week's event, I'm finally going to choose a winner on our Laterna giveaway. This has dragged on long enough! To enter that giveaway, click here and comment in that post.
