VexCon to Visit BattleWings Game

The hit A&E TV Show the Exterminators is going to be doing some filming at our last regular season home game on July 25, 2009. So not are we fighting for the division title but we’re being filmed. Our office has been busy trying to get everything ready. I can’t wait. The Husband and I watched the entire first season and we’re looking forward to this season, especially if I have a chance to be seen in the show (it’ll end up being a shot of me standing with a stupid look on my face I’m sure.). So we have a great special going on for tickets, so who could say no to coming to an arena football game, at rock bottom prices, and with a chance to be in the crowd when a nationally televised show is being taped? I know I would be there (that is if I wasn’t going to be working the game already and had to be there). So give us a shout, 318.746.8755 for the tickets. Go WINGS!!

Game days

I realize it’s been a long time since I last wrote a post. I haven’t had must to write about design wise. Until recently my only experience at work was just selling selling selling. I did a good job for my second home game. I had 7 groups. That may not sound like a lot but it was good or so I was told. Recently, I began doing a lot of promotional design. Flyers and an occasional animated web ad have been the extent of it. I was able to design an ad for the Louisiana Tech football program. I would say it was my best layout job, but the man at work I was doing the ad for wanted specific photos that didn’t make for a great layout. I am proud of the background for the ad. I am hoping that the theme will continue on for the BattleWings’ tenth season. But time can only tell.

So I say tonight is game night. It’s probably the best part about my job. There is nothing like game night. My main job tonight will be to work the information booth. Unfornately, it is the fourth and the crowd is looking slim. Fifteen minutes into the doors being opened and there is hardly anyone here. This area by the front door usually has a large crowd, but not this week. I feel let down almost. We have worked very had to promote this game and the crowd feels so small. I later will find out we had are largest walk up crowd all season. So maybe our efforts didn’t go to waste.

So now it’s the Tueday after the game (We were off yesterday due to the holiday). Today means it’s day one of a twenty-one day battle to fill seats for our last home game July 25,2009. I’ve been working on website ads, vouchers, and just plain brainstorming for our take on a very important game. If we continue to win and Arkansas takes a loss between now and then, that lastgame will determine the Southwest Division Champinion and who has a home playoff game. Naturally we want to win and defend our Division Title. But only time can tell if we will succeed in our endeavors. I have lots to do and little time to do it in. I’m sure for those of you who live in Shreveport • Bossier you will see me all over droppping off vouchers and flyers and group sign up sheets. We want a full house and we are prepared to do what it takes to make that happen.

Until next time…
