Of course, this PR process started way back in October! Writing the press release, designing the graphic (branding) writing the "blurbs" and researching all the possible media outlets in a city I have never promoted in and in which I have only lived for 12 months! I spend weeks combing the internet, picking up physical print publications, googling for all the possible avenues for getting the word out, and all the key people to send the promo material to. The bi-monthlies, the monthlies, the weeklies the dailies! They all accept stuff on different schedules and plan way in advance sometimes when deciding to do a feature. Then the radio and TV! Sometimes a little more last minute. Anyway, any coverage is appreciated as it only costs my time and it is also really fun!
Radio interviews in this Video Diary were on the same day! Thankfully a day we were not rehearsing or tech-ing, but I stayed up much too late and the next day I was beat!
We were also invited to play on The Dennis Bono Show. It's a Las Vegas tradition. A show recorded LIVE to tape in front of an audience of about 500 people at The South Point Casino in Las Vegas! They were so warm with their applause and Angela Chan, Hubert Gall and my PR assistant Teresa Kidder were all able to be there with me. We performed Padam Padam and then had a little chat on the interview couch with Dennis. Also on the show that day was Earl Turner, Riva Rice, Colin Salter and Mary Callanan.
