Long Range Planning

[kevin_standlee]

One bit of news I did want to drop in here before crashing: Based on a conversation during the BASFA meeting, and subject to confirmation and technical discussions, it looks like we probably will do a show from Burning Fan, next year's Westercon in Las Vegas.

In response to numerous queries: I don't think we're doing a show at Gnomeward Bound (this year's Westercon), because I've not been asked, and I don't see where they could slot us, given the facility and technical constraints. I have to say that I'm not terribly enthusiastic about trying to fit into a Masquerade halftime with a dance immediately following -- it's a waste of the host convention's time and resources for the amount of work I impose upon them for the amount of return. This doesn't mean I wouldn't try to do the show; it just means we'd have to find a way to do it that is a win-win-win for the convention, our team, and the members.

You know....it could be a Match Game THEMED party. Questions posted on the walls, Orange throw rugs. That sort of thing.

That's not a bad idea, either, although Lisa is talking about doing a Japanese/rail themed party ("Is This the Train to Yokohama?") in addition to the Montreal party on July 1.
