The news release on Haruo Nakajima's appearance at the upcoming (July 5-7) Days of the Dead convention in Indianapolis, "Godzilla To Raid Indianapolis," is starting to hit.

It has already being posted by news aggregators, including Silobreaker (discussed in previous blog posts) and Alltop.com.

About Alltop.com:

The purpose of Alltop is to help you answer the question, “What’s happening?” in “all the topics” that interest you. You may wonder how Alltop is different from a search engine. A search engine is good to answer a question like, “How many people live in China?” However, it has a much harder time answering the question, “What’s happening in China?” That’s the kind of question that we answer. 

We do this by collecting the headlines of the latest stories from the best sites and blogs that cover a topic. We group these collections — “aggregations” — into individual web pages. Then we display the five most recent headlines of the information sources as well as their first paragraph. Our topics run from adoption to zoology with photography, food, science, religion, celebrities, fashion, gaming, sports, politics, automobiles, Macintosh, and hundreds of other subjects along the way. 

You can think of Alltop as the “online magazine rack” of the web. We’ve subscribed to thousands of sources to provide “aggregation without aggravation.”

As for ticket sales for Days of the Dead, sales have been great for this year.  I can't say that having Haruo Nakajima as a headliner has anything to do with it (I'm sure it has), but here's what the organizers posted three days ago:

WOW. Ticket sales for the upcoming DAYS OF THE DEAD: Indianapolis show have been absolutely bananas - we have actually DOUBLED our sales from the previous year at this same time! 

Definitely looks like it's going to be the biggest DAYS OF THE DEAD yet and one hell of a homecoming party as we return to the city that gave birth to the very first DOTD show!

Once word gets out about Haruo Nakajima appearing at Days of the Dead fully hits the media, perhaps ticket sales will triple over last year!
