[Deptheads] Get events up ASAP!

[Evil5757 at aol.com]

I understand this....the only reason we were going to do it was because  
there was no cribbage and Neil said he had no one running it, and I  was 
focusing on things that are not being run.

John,

You and your guys should focus on things that aren't  being run.  If Eric 
B. Has someone lined up to run garbage, then let them  do it.  Use the talent 
you have to add events to the con that we don't  currently have.  Don't 
duplicate effort, it just causes more work for  everyone.

No. Board games will run it until we  talk to Dan.
