[Deptheads] Fwd: To be a guest at a show

[Eric Burgess]

Let's make sure everyone is clear: we don't need people for Gateway in
September. Kevin Wilson of Fantasy Flight Games fame is our Guest of Honor
and John Wick is coming as a Special Guest (Aldrich - right? Not a GOH?)
There was also talk of someone from Columbia Games coming.

We could use someone for Gamex to supplement Jeff Siadek (local board/card
game designer from Gorilla Games).

Orccon 2012 - awaiting final confirmation from Martin Wallace (sent a
follow-up yesterday) -  that's a big one.

Gamex 2012 - Richard Borg (who committed and then had to withdraw for this
year's Gamex)

Gateway 2012 - Still tentatively Friedemann Friese - but possibly Uwe
Rosenberg (depends on which one says 100% yes first)

Orccon 2013 - The other guy from the Gateway 2012 list above

Remember that we still want secondary guests to come. I have some US
designers we could still invite that would be cheaper to host than our Int'l
guest.
