[Deptheads] Fwd: Strategicon Parking RE: [SoCalgamers]

[Robert Lionheart]

Here is the response.  Patrick, you are their moderator so you would probably be best to make the response or Eric Aldrich.   However, one of you better put a foot on this Chris Johnson or I will and I will not be pleasant.   
   
  THIS IS GAMEX RUMOR CONTROL
   
  1) There has not been any "pussyfooting around the issue"
   
  Let's have a Strategicon history lesson.   The Radisson hotel is a franchise and the LAX Radisson location changed ownership after we signed our initial contract.   There were no remodeling plans discussed with us until after OrcCon.   Currently, the Radisson under its new ownership is planning to tear down their parking lot.   However, they do not know when this will happen.   We have continual contact with the hotel and supposedly there is some delay with their city construction permits and they could start demolition today, tomorrow or Christmas.   
   
  There is a chance that the parking lot will be useful for Gamex.   We do not know anything for certain and the convention staff is working hard on alternate solutions.   The day that we know something for sure is the day we will be sending out information to everyone on the attendee email list.

  2) There will not be any "annoyed-to-pissed-off people" in anyone's face.
   
  The Strategicon conventions are run by volunteers.   Not martyrs or profiteers, just volunteers who devote huge chunks of their free time to help the SoCal gaming community have large regional events three times a year where we can all have fun.   This is a volunteer effort by gamers for gamers so we are all on the same side here.   Please know that all of your frustrations are taken very seriously by the entire staff.   If you have any concerns, please post them on our Strategicon Yahoo Group.  If you have time to help solve problems, please join our team as a volunteer.
