Help plan the Mark Does Stuff 2015 European tour!

Posted on January 25, 2015 by Mark Oshiro

Hello, friends! I am bumping up this post to receive feedback on my first draft of this tour. As you may have noticed, I am traveling to VERY MANY PLACES this year! I focused so heavily on convention appearances last year that I didn’t get to do as many of my own events as I wanted. While I’ll still have quite a few cons in 2015 (including my first Guest of Honor stint ever, at ConQuesT in Kansas City!), I wanted to book a few tours this year to cover the US, Canada, and Europe.

In the past couple years, I’ve only managed to do events in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Paris, and Amsterdam. I know that I have a sizable audience in Europe, but I’m not exactly certain where everyone is. The point of this post is:

1) to determine which cities will garner the biggest turnout

2) to help me plan out the actual logistics of traveling in Europe

3) to solicit support so that I can pull this off and entertain you by ruining your life.

Let’s get started! Continue reading →
