[Deptheads] ConQuest SF on Labor Day

[Eric Burgess]

I think Patrick knows Loscon people. If not, let me know - I think I have
someone I can call there but it's been a while.

I know we're still thinking local but I will be attending Boardgamegeek.CON
in November, too. I think we should consider advertising there for
the Strategicon convention series. We could sponsor an event with a prize to
get mention or give them an advert for Orccon into their gift bags. I'll be
going anyway so it would be good to bring some kind of advertising.

Remember when we talked about promotional items - dice and all that? At the
last BGG.con, Troll and Toad brought pads full of 'score sheets'. It was the
talk of the place - people kept saying, "You have any of those Troll and
Toad pads?" And people took them home with to use, too. That was a ton of
advertising for them. Something simple like that at BGG.con (and Gencon and
Origins, if anyone is going) would be huge for getting the Strategicon name
out there more.
