Sorry to be the spoilsport, but these are professional musicians working in the industry. That means, there is no way they'd even think about attending or even performing unless we pay them appropriately for every-single-hour they are supposed to spend here - especially when you want them on a weekend where any or all of them are usually earning their living doing gigs with their individual projects.

"Guest oh Honor" is not a magic formular you can just recite and it makes industry professionals for you for free :) If you want a guest to attend, you'll have to offer them something that they get out of the deal, too, otherwise it's not gonna work.

You make a fair point, but I would like to point out that EF has successfully had industry professionals as the GoH in the past, like Mr. Jim Martin, and the puppeteers from Mongrels.

And we aren't exactly talking about Lordi here. Hevisaurus are not that famous, probably less so internationally than Jim Martin or the Mongrels crew. Even if we did have to pay, the going rate would probably not be that high, it might even be possible to make it from selling tickets at a modest price, as has been done before at EF for certain events.

Personally I think it is worth consideration, especially as it kills two birds with one stone, you get a great set of GoH and a big event to plug the PPS hole in one. Yeah, maybe you are right, they'll be too expensive or unavailable, but perhaps it's worth a try?  :)

VulpesRex:
   Pardon, but I feel a bit out of the loop, here.

   What is a "Hevisaurus", and why would I wish to see them?
