THIRTEEN SECONDS OF YOUR TIME AND REBLOG TO SPREAD THE WORD, SHERLOCKIANS? :D
So I’m really excited about the BAY AREA SHERLOCK CON being put together by some lovely people on tumblr!!! And I would really love for it to be successful and I just wanted to help by spreading the word about it.
Even if you’re not in the Bay Area or something — there are contests on their forums and stuff! Logo and video editing! I know some of y’all are 10x better than I am with your programs, so why not sign up? Let’s bring the best of the best :D!!!
Also the song is a minute or so. And yeah, it says Sherlock Holmes throughout it. It was a bit of a doozy getting it hehehe. :3c
I’m not affiliated with the makers or organisers or anything! Just doing this because I’m a rabid fan that would love to watch BBC Sherlock on a Big Movie Screen.
*flails* Sorry, unprofessional of me, but toss it! This is just the spiffiest thing!
Guys, this is what I(Dawn) was hoping for when I started this Meetup that evolved into a Con.The energy, the fun, the feel of shared excitement and creativity.
We are open to everyone for as many of the contests as we could be, so PLEASE reblog this so folks can see it! If you, yourself, live in the area- check it out and see if it sounds like your division. ;)
