How did you set this up with the store? This is something I would be interested in doing at our local shop here in town.
I think the dates on your last 2 demos are supposed to be 4/13 and 4/20 (the past 2 Fridays as opposed to a month ago).
DEMO/TOURNEY: DEMO
DATE: 04/20/2018
TIME: 5-11pm
NAME OF VENUE: Heroes & Fantasies
VENUE ADDRESS: 4923 NW Loop 410, San Antonio, TX 78229
ATTENDANCE BRIEF: 35 viewers, 10 demos
COMMENTS: Tonight is a MTG new card release night. It will be a long, tiring, happy demo night. LOL I guess some passersby misinterpreted our sign that said ' FREE DEMOS AND CARDS'. We were displaying sealed starters and sealed boxed packs -- some curious players took 1 sealed half of a starter deck and 1 sealed TxP pack. I'm sure it was a misinterpretation of the sign. But for me it is a great sign and blessing that people are getting really interested. I am sure that seeds were planted in the hearts of the 'free' card takers. ;D

The banners and signs are excellent examples of how to run a demo. Wow, takes notes. Great job!@Jon, I think I spent only $20 for the vertical banner thru an eBay seller who does custom banners. As for the demo info board, dirt cheap $3 brown school project board, $5 black spray paint to 'paint the board black', + literal cut and paste for lettering and info printouts, a few interesting staple cards. That's it!
Quick update: I am going to try and head to a different local game store tonight to do a little "I play some magic with you, and then I get to show you some Redemption". It may not happen at all, but a little prayer would be great!@Chris. you are a Godsend to the San Antonio playgroup. The TX triangle/trinity (Houston/Dallas/San Antonio) is indeed being prepared by God for Nats 2018 -- at His amazing pace. Forward, jedi!
TEXAS IS GOING TO BREAK THE 2005 RECORD ATTENDANCE!!
We have been playing at the local college (Lone Star College) at a table the library has specifically set up for games right by the front entrance. Really awesome that God has provided such a venue. We have already gotten a new player who has continued to reach out to schedule times to play. His name is Grayson and he is connected to a local gaming store (Space Cadet Collectibles) and runs D&D campaigns there. He is a fellow believer and has seemed to really latch onto the game. Please be praying for our connection and future opportunities there on the college campus. Grace and Peace!
I will begin working with the game store in this area shortly. Thanks for what you do ReyZen. It is encouraging.
Godspeed,
Mike
