[Deptheads] Dealer Room Friday

[Eric M. Aldrich]

Yeah, it might take some major fiddling to get it to work. I don't know. It's just a proposal. The final decision on this falls to RJ.

I do not think opening the dealer room Friday night is an option. We cannot do a Thursday set up as often times the space is sold on that day for different events.

Whatever we do we do not want to piss on the dealers at this point. We've made great strides in that dealer room this past con -- what we have works.

I know that I will hear about it  - yes, they will complain about a free table!   What if people want something they did not bring out of the dealers room?

It's not where they belong.  It also takes us out of the dealer area, it makes for more money out and about on the floor, items going back and forth, etc...
