[Deptheads] Great con everyone!

[Eric Burgess]

Congrats all. You know, Lorne Dune (a hardcore gamer and the person
responsible for the invitational up in Eugene) flew past Kublacon and on to
Gamex because she said our event is much better all around. They only thing
she said Kublacon does better: marketing, including their website. I think
we're making good strides there so hopefully we'll be able to overtake them.

Ditto RJ - he's been awesome and hopefully you can change his mind.
