[Deptheads] Dealers Room at OrcCon

[Janice Sellers]

Thank you for thinking of that, Heather.  Your posting that reminded
me that someone came and talked to me during the con about the problem
of people not being able to use their Dealer Dollars for various
reasons and asking if there are any solutions.  I know that when
Rocky's group owned the cons, he arranged for a few of the retailers
to be willing to accept DD for a short while after the con (I think a
couple of weeks), and I guess Rocky paid the other retailers back for
whatever they took in.  I don't know if that policy was abandoned
deliberately by this new ownership group or if it slipped through the
cracks accidentally, but perhaps it's something that could be
revisited to see if it's feasible to bring it back.
