Store Grand Opening Support

Minion Development our parent company is planing to open a Brick &
Mortar store in the Milwakee, WI area.

We plan to have a kiosk for burn-on-demand of CD's bought from RPGNow as well as display the POD and all books from RPGMall on the floor. I'm open to selling pre-made CD bundles over the counter and showing example print outs if the vendor supplies them. This site will
serve as a piolit to judge consumer interest in such things and viability of extending this to other stores around the country. I'm not holding my breath as many retailers see it as a threat, but I'll give it a shot. :)

We're interested in manufacturers and personalities in this industry who might be willing to come to a new store grand opening sometime in Novemeber? Not Holloween weekend. On a Saturday and Sunday. The store is a 3000 sq ft clean mall loction right off the express way with new fixtures. That's about all I got right now.

So far with only word of mouth promotion I have this:

Guests include Gary Gygax, Ken Hite, Jim Ward, Christopher Clark, Cylde Caldwell, Jolly Blackburn, and more. Free signings, door prizes, and open gaming!

Might do some free food - but not sure if I want the new carpet abused. :) I will promote this online, newspapers, flyers, and maybe even radio. Anyway, let me know if you want to be there or contribute in some way (even with as little as a bit of promotion to reach the gamers in our area).
