Current press status (that we can make public right now -- yes, sneaky stuff is still in the works that I'll announce later.
TEASER!!!)As for the actual interview itself, we do not have it confirmed yet that we have a one on one interview with them. That confirmation is in process. We may not know for certain until we get there. But we want to put in the request as soon as possible so they know we're serious. At the least, we know if they hold general press conferences and other things that require special press access, we should be able to attend and give a report out on it.
For other people who'd like to come in as press, unfortunately, I'm going to have to say 'no'. Our request was based on being as professional as possible -- two of the three person team actually have official media affiliations so we could beef up our credibility that we're not
only drooling fans (and yes, that includes me -- I really do have a press pass with a magazine). There are other things depending on our producing professional level coverage of them from this event, but I do believe in having as much fun as possible if we're able to have a sit down with them.
(Those of you who didn't know, there were experiences of fansites being turned down for direct interviews with MM at AX and we did not want to have the same experience happen here.)
And wow, I do believe I'm eating my own words and happily so:You know, I really wasn't planning to do a con report. (Unless there's something magical that happens -- and I honestly don't think I can top my Y at AX story.)
