^ I agree completely. Currently doing everything I can to secure the "The," including bribing TexAgs
As for the site itself, development
finally, officially kicks off next week. It's taken a while for the developers to A) figure out exactly how they're going to build this thing, and B) deliver a few of their current projects in order to secure the time & team it'll take to get this thing done.
Speaking of, because the programming
is somewhat of a challenge, once they really started looking at the nuts & bolts, they realized it's going to take a little longer than expected to build. Three months to be exact. That being the case, I told them I want to launch first week of May (the beginning of the summer movie season) and they told me that's doable.
I actually get the contract tomorrow (Friday), and we have our first development meeting scheduled for Wednesday of next week. At which point they'll actually start building the site. We've already had a few good conversations about logo/header ideas, and everyone in the office has gone over my mock-ups pretty thoroughly. So now all that's left is for me to sign the contract and give them a down payment. That, and as I mentioned earlier, I set-up an LLC today, which should become official next week as well.
So full steam ahead, aiming for release sometime between Monday, April 28 and Thursday, May 1. Can't wait to get this thing out there...
