[KwartzLab] Hacky Halloween : live TV spot, October 5

[doug moen]

We are moving on the Hacky Halloween media campaign.

Kwartzlab has secured a television spot on Wednesday October 5 to
promote Hacky Halloween.
It's on Rogers Waterloo Region TV, channel 20, between 7:50pm and 8:00pm.

The show is "Talk Local".

Our host will be interviewing us as a winner of a KW Awesome grant.
She wants to ask us questions like this:
-- When did you win the grant/what was your pitch?
-- How did you come up with this idea?
-- Why this idea?
-- live demonstration of project.

I want to promote Kwartzlab and the event, and get people interested
in coming out to Hacky Halloween.

There is room for two Kwartzlab representatives.  Currently, it's me.

I'll be working on a script for what we'll say, and props, and looking
for collaborators.  And I will need collaborators, because, for
example, I have no idea how we came up with this idea.

Here are some things I'd like to nail down before October 5:
- The date, time and venue for Hacky Halloween.
- The kwartzlab.ca front page has a prominent link to a nice looking
Hacky Halloween page (eg, kwartzlab.ca/hacky-halloween).
- We have one or two carved pumpkins to bring in as props, plus LED lighting.
- Figure out what would constitute a live demonstration.  Can we carve
an awesome looking pumpkin and solder LEDs in less than 10 minutes?
