Are you going for Yanni’s concert?
fuck no! oh my god I’d rather go to a Bieber concert than a yanni one. back in the early 90s my dad bought a VCR that could play the VHS Hi-Fi format (look it up) and one of the first demo tapes he got for it was Yanni Live at the Acropolis. He used to play it all the fucking time, I’m still traumatized by it.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Dude your dad has an awesome choice in music 🕺🏻 At least can you get me tickets? I want to send my parents ☹️
GX 2017 and Kuwait Battle Royale

wtf? this started today? why don’t they advertise this shit? If I didn’t know about it and I make it my job to find out everything, how would other people know about it?
It’s all over instagram and snapchat. Annual event, your blog featured it last year and the year before

I know I featured it before, I didn’t know it was this weekend. It’s definitely not all over instagram, if you only knew how much I dig through content to find the events every week, like I find the most obscure shit and yet I didn’t come across GX2016.
Over 2,000 people attended GX2017.
Nice try!
Now imagine how many people would have attended had they advertised. In comparison, Q8 Con had over 5,000 visitors two years ago and this years comic com easily surpassed that.
The organizers of GX2017 advertised their event more than all the events in the list.
It’s such a great event that even the US Embassy participated in it.
Along with the US military band.
The US Embassy has their own booth at GX2017:

The US embassy knew about this event and even participated in it yet for some odd reason you didn’t know anything about it. Apparently it’s more obscure than the obscure shit you find.
Nobody said the event wasn’t great, I said they didn’t advertise the event properly.
The US embassy participated because they were invited to.
It’s an extremely popular event, even the Minister of Information attended it

just because the Minister of Information attended doesn’t mean they marketed the event properly or that everyone knows about the event. He was invited to attend.
They advertised their event at local malls including Al Hamra:

Do you NOT go to malls???
not even the kuwait international fairgrounds instagram account has their event listed and that’s where there event is taking place. https://instagram.com/kifexpo
So what??? The instagram account of kuwait international fairgrounds doesn’t list a lot of events that take place there
The organizers of GX2017 advertised their event in local malls and even radio stations. In what universe is that considered “weak advertising”?
Its considered weak advertising in 2017. You advertise a gaming convention on the radio? Come on who still listens to the radio? And you think that anyone notices that screen in Hamra? I work there and am in the mall daily and didn’t see the ad. Not only that but that’s not even where their target audience hangs out…
This is their schedule
