But yeah, we are a Southern California Convention, not just a LA convention.
I know I have fought that perception the entire time  I have been with
Strategicon, and we don¹t need to reinforce such an image ourselves.

I haven't done one for Gateway yet because, a) I don't have the final
artwork and b) I don't want to name the URL if we're changing the name of
