[Deptheads] So Cal ASL Demo

[Robert Lionheart]

What is the ASL's main peeve? 
   
  If we want to lure them back, how about giving their leadership Special Guest status and throwing several ASL tourneys with lots of prize support.  If we really want them to show, then throw dollars at the problem.  
   
  If dollars doesn't heal the rift, then its time to develop our own ASL team.   We can throw in a case of Ensure as a peace offering.

  Hey all:

Actually last year, a few other club members came by as well, purchasing badges.  What was nice with this year's negotiation was that it really wasn't a negotiation - I just reminded them of the event and re-extended the invite... Done.  

My suggestion would be to inquire about possibly getting them more involved in the future.  Orccons are probably out of the picture now, since they have a competing event in Feb., but maybe we can strengthen their interest, and get them to Gateway too.  If we can build trust, my hope would be that down the line we could get them with us at Orccons, possibly running a con-within-the-con, not unlike the Warhammer event.

No matter what, it feels better to have some of they old rifts healing or vanishing.  Having a healthy ASL presence is likely to be a strong word-of-mouth topic with about 20% of our attendees; especially if it shows up in reviews and blogs.

    That's good, Devi contacted them a year ago, and told them about the new convention ownership.  They still were not very interested in coming.  We know they are a group of about 75 members, but I guess 3 is better than none, and maybe they will continue to come in greater numbers as time goes on.

I got an enthusiastic response from the So Cal ASL Club.  Their president, Jim Aikens, has confirmed their attendance, with the same number of badges as last year (3).

Patrick, if you'd like, I'll pass along your e-mail address to him, if you want...
