[Deptheads] Convention Location

[thatericn at aol.com]

Agreed, Robert.



Totally agreed.? 

In fact, the Nude Nudes sign has always been a popular source of chuckles amongst convention goers since time immemorial.? I've mainly continued grumbling about this out of fatigue of hearing people politic about moving the convention somewhere else (usually within 10 driving minutes from where they live).



Like?Claude Rains' line in Casablanca; "I'm shocked - shocked to find gambling in here..."? Only the most babe-in-the-woods type would be freaked out by seeing a strip club near a airport.? Although the sign on Century has all the subtlety and class?of a Hugo Chavez speech...

And of course, I'm SURE there are no strip clubs near Burbank, or Ontario, or John Wayne airports. Of course not.

Also, I'm sure that probably 90% or more of any new attendees would likely be returnees coming back after being away for years, or are friends or game-group acquaintances of people very familiar and non-plussed by the surroundings.

Please tell me that this discussion?is all a joke.

?

Anyone who plans driving routes to avoid seeing strip club signs is not someone who is going to attend an event where people dress up like vampires, play?wargames where the Nazis could win or talk incessantly about?casting magic spells. 

?

Not our demographic.

So, a 'nice' area is one where you can avoid the strip clubs by carefully planning your driving routes? I'm surprised I don't see that on more real estate fliers. ;)

It's actually on Aviation, if I remember right, but it's visible from Sepulveda (or it used to be -- heck I'm not sure if it's there anymore and I can't for the life of me remember the name).
