Hi Awesome person,
I am happy to announce the new "Austin Events 2009" Big Weekend Calendar. It is ready for purchase right now on the website! (We are currently rolling it out to many stores as well)
Click here to see it now... |
Thanks to you, HEB will be selling the calendar!

I had been working on HEB for months and the process seemed stalled. Then I sent out a plea to those of you on this small email list and over 100 people went to the HEB website to tell them they wanted the calendar in their local HEB store!
I can't thank you all enough. I got so many great emails about the importance of the calendar to Austin, supporting local businesses and other praise. You are great!!
In less than 2 weeks after my plea to y'all, HEB contacted me and agreed to sell it in 12 different stores in Austin!
So now (or soon) you will find the calendar in HEB, Whole Foods, Central Market and many other great local stores.

You asked for it - This year's improvements.
|
|
Based on the feedback from the survey, we've made these great improvements (among others):
WELL MARKED WEEKENDS!!
Yes, many of you have emailed me about this. I think we have a solution.
THE MOST ACCURATE DATES EVER!!
New this year - We're keeping a "watch list" of events that have been wrong in the past, not putting dates for unreliable events, double checking with event holders at press time and being more cautious than ever about new events.
MORE EVENTS!! MORE ACTIVITIES!!
You asked for it, you got it.
NO MORE CARBON COPY!!
A few folks mentioned that the photo ink could rub through. We've got a solution.
MORE EARTH FRIENDLY!!
We're using Forest Stewardship Council certified printing and paper. This assures that the paper comes from well managed forests and other controlled, sustainable sources. We're also using soy- and vegetable-based inks.

Thank you to the amazing 165 people that filled out the survey. I made a spreadsheet of all the names and used a random number generator to choose a winner of the 5-pack of calendars.
Lucky number 88 came up and that person was notified. (I'd tell you their name, but right now all I have is their email address and that probably wouldn't be cool to share with everyone. :) )
Thanks to everyone for your great feedback - it really helps me make you a better calendar. |
