[Deptheads] Re: Photos on Strategicon.net, please, and hopefully sent to me

[Eric Burgess]

Thanks, Harmon. We'll let you know.

Happily - the photos have attracted nearly a hundred comments/likes and
such. This is good advertising for Gamex because it reminds them of the good
time everyone had at Orccon. Every time they hear Strategicon, that's good
free marketing.

Thanks to Eric D for sending them in. I hope we can get the rest of Ashley's
pictures soon. I know she took a cool shot of the library (I already posted
a side shot of it being taken) and I'd love to post that one.

Still - we don't have anything on the website, which is a bummer. Any chance
we can just use the Facebook API and just cycle through what we posted?
