Comikaze Expo Presents Horror Icon Elviras Farewell Convention Appearance

Los Angeles, Calif. (PRWEB) October 05, 2011

Comikaze Expo, the largest multimedia pop culture, comic book, horror, anime and gaming convention in California, aka the Los Angeles Comic-Con, has announced it will host horror icon Elviras last convention appearance in its premiere event taking place on November 5-6, 2011 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Comikaze Expos official Spooksperson, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, will sign autographs, pose for photos with fans and take part in various events throughout the Expo.


Elvira became a household name with Elviras Movie Macabre, the first nationally syndicated horror movie show. The weekly series featured the sexy, outrageous movie hostess sharp wit and clever banter throughout her tongue-in-cheek commentary of B-movie classics. Her reign as Queen of Halloween spans three decades and includes two feature films, her long-running series and two motion control rides. Her appearance at Comikaze Expo honors the events commitment to horror fans and promises a memorable experience for all.


Its about time all of my boob-tube fans who've never been lucky enough to say hi in person come out to meet me, said Elvira. This will be everybody's last chance to see this busty, beehived broad in the flesh (and not much else!), so jump on that Red Line and head to the L.A. Convention Center, darling. As the hostess with the mostest, Im gonna bring a little class to this event if it's the last thing I do. Oh yeah, it IS the last thing I'll do. Whatever.


We are beyond thrilled and overwhelmed that Elvira is our official Spooksperson and is making her final convention appearance right here in L.A., where it all started for her, says Comikaze Expo CEO Regina Carpinelli. Since she burst onto the horror scene, shes been a pop culture pioneer, and is a gorgeous, brilliantly funny woman who never disappoints her fans. Its an incredible honor to have her be a part of Comikaze. Carpinelli is encouraging fans to dress like Elvira at Comikaze in honor of the stars final convention appearance.

Third Annual "SMX Biggest Search Geek" Contest Opens December 20: Win a Trip to Search Marketing Expo - SMX West

San Francisco, Calif. (PRWEB) December 20, 2010

Marin Software and Search Marketing Expo today announced the opening of the 3rd Annual "SMX Biggest Search Geek Contest," the popular quiz-based contest to win a trip to attend SMX West in San Jose, March 8-10, 2011.


The contest is now open at the SMX Biggest Search Geek website.


For all those geeks stuck in the office while others enjoy the holidays -- or those who are sneaking a peek at work email while the family celebrates downstairs -- the SMX Biggest Search Geek contest is a fun way to test your Search IQ *and* enter to win some great prizes.


Questions are not for the faint of heart, and are designed to test the best and brightest minds in the search marketing community. Last year's topics covered everything from A/B testing and landing page optimization to negative keywords, ad grouping, and ad bidding -- to questions about Google's history. (Q: What was the name of Larry Page and Sergey Brin's 1996 research project that laid the foundation for Google's search engine?*)


"SMX is the top search conference out there today, so any chance for a free ticket is worth a try," said last year's winner, Tim Ossmo, of Leapfrog Online.


Ossmo beat out others with a score of 80.8% in 699 seconds. In 2009, winner Keri Morgret beat out other search marketers with a score of 76.8% in 3722 seconds.


Second and third place contestants will each win a free Apple iPad.


The challenge tests not only how much you know about search marketing -- but how quickly you can answer the questions.


Marin Software invites the best and the brightest minds in search marketing to stand up and show their smarts in the third-annual SMX Biggest Search Geek Contest.


*A: Backrub.
