Secretary’s Report – September and October minutes submitted.


Business arising from the minutes – Minutes have been edited for content, all important details were summarized in a vague but pointed manner, Several things were stricken from the record and were not recorded in the written minutes.




Leadership Reports – Gary and Henry were out sick, so Walter, Jai and Stephanie talked about Kevin being the new publisher, talked about the OCC and going forward. Gabriella’s done and being finalized for launch, there was no update for Dark Myth Comics, or Myth Mart, the Jayzomodcast is doing well. David is going to review podcasts and see what is working and what we can improve upon. Live Events has been cancelled. New Business we talked about exploring pop up events, looked at the idea of raffles, and using Gary’s boxes for the raffles. We talked about Patreon as well.




Advertising – Nothing as of yet. The original plan for pricing, and it needs to be updated. It wasn’t presented correctly and has left a bad taste in advertisers mouths, so it needs to be revamped. Will go and talk to local shops to get advertising. David and Stephanie discuss how it was misrepresented and David brings up his idea for .10cents a download. Alan likes the idea. David explains how it would be less money for the advertiser but could essentially add up. An impromptu vote is held and the .10cent a download is added to the package of pricing. Gary asks that it be added that the pricing be subject to change.




Old Business – David lets the Board know that the author release form was used for the second time with Pavla Chandler, aka Gabriella Balcom, and that it worked beautifully again. It’s very simplistic but it does what we need.

Also, David announces that he can’t find anyone to be the producer of the Podcast network, so he agrees to continue to be the producer.



New Business – Moving forward from PCE, David acknowledges that it is something that we need as a business but he doesn’t see how we could move forward with it. Live Events have been shelved. Stephanie suggests that we rebrand our Live Events, moving away from the PCE brand and use our other brands to do live events, such as authors, cover artists, comic books events, fine tune our events to be individualistic giving our celebrities more one on one time, doing smaller events and online events. Gary points out that it is expensive to rent the Hilton, but Stephanie points out that doing a smaller event we can use a smaller room. Gary asks if its plausible, especially in this area, Steph agrees that we need to move away from this area and spread out. Gary suggests several places. Josh reminds us that Ontario already has a ComicCon, He suggests Rancho, he agrees that getting out of Victorville is a good idea.


David is concerned about our reputation, due to the dirty dealings that our past employee did. He wants idea’s on how to move forward. Walter suggests that there is nothing wrong with taking some time to let the dust settle and let people forget. Gary suggests we don’t do anything big for a while.


Board gives David an impromptu pep talk. Letting him know that we will rebuild Live Events, we will continue to build this company. Josh suggests an outdoor event, charge the vendors, the food trucks and keep it free for the guests. Keep it small.


Moving into OCC, Walter explains to our guests what it is. Then David brings up the new idea for our 5th year, Rejection Insurance. Ideas are discussed for new things to do for OCC, ideas will be written up and presented for voting. Stephanie suggests a screenwriting contest.


Board votes on Rejection Insurance – Walter seconds, the Board votes it in.


We review old positions, and elect new Secretary and Treasurer.


Walter was elected as Chairman.

Gary volunteers to be Treasurer. Board voted in favor.

Stephanie gets nominated for Secretary again. She concedes defeat and accepts the position. Board votes and it is passed.


The next topic is making more revenue for the company but it was discussed earlier in the meeting. Start small, work big.


The Board reviews the new policy 11122022 proposal. Official Business Plan for 2023 is read by David. (available upon request)

Walter wants the OCC part amended to include the Rejection Insurance.

Alan points out that Nu Wave isn’t on there and David said he will add it in.

Walter points out that President isn’t listed anywhere on the list of positions.


Josh wants to know what it would take to get JayZoMon Pictures up and running. He has access to a film school. Gary wants to know what it would cost to keep it open. Josh has access and possession to equipment. He suggests contests and such. David would have to relicense to either establish it as a subsidiary or a division. David wants Josh to do a write up of what his thoughts are.





Next meeting: December 4, 2022
