Update #35: "The Raid" at Blizzcon 2010

Posted on August 10, 2010

Hey you guys!

I hope this note finds you all super well. Just wanted to share with you all some recent news concerning the documentary film project. We will be planning a pre-screening event of the film at Blizzard Entertainment's annual fan convention ("Blizzcon") this October. We are partnering up with Denise Duke from Rawrcast (http:/www.rawrcast.com) who will be helping to organize and plan the event in Anaheim, CA on the evening of October 23rd. Check out the video for more info!

If you are a donor and happen to be a fan interested in attending the screening, and are planning to be in the Anaheim area for Blizzcon (or otherwise) please let me know and we'll do our best to squeeze you in! If you didn't get a chance to donate to the project during our campaign here at Kickstarter you can listen to a whole host of WoW related podcasts to find out how you can win tickets in the coming weeks. I'll be sure to post another update with more specifics on all that very soon.

I'm super excited about sharing this project with the public. There is just so much to be said! We've got a lot of work ahead of us, though, and I'm going to be buckling down hardcore for the next few months. We've got two more amazing interviews coming up with gaming professionals Jesse Schell and Ed Castronova. I am thrilled to death to be interviewing these guys as they will have ideal expertise to contribute on the subject.

So...that's about it for me. Don't hesitate to let me know if you've got questions or thoughts (info@jointheraid.com). You donors, be prepared for me to be reaching out for t-shirt sizes and other such info as we near the conclusion of all this. Can't believe I can see the horizon on it all. Amazing!

Warmest regards,

Kevin Michael Johnson
