[Deptheads] Renaming the Cons

[Eric Burgess]

I assume he is planning that weekend for ConQuest LV because it leads into
GAMA 2008 (in Vegas from 4/20-4/24). I can only imagine he's trying to link
to that in some ways (perhaps getting some people attending GAMA to come a
few days early and show up for his con).
