Subject: Ground Zero Games West Coast Convention II: Status Report

I will not be running the second Ground Zero Games West Coast Convention this
year. That doesn't mean that it can't happen, it just means that I can't
afford the time to get it together. The same room in the same hotel is
reserved from Friday, October the 26th thru Sunday, the 28th.

Let me explain. I have been unemployed since the dotcom I was working for went
out of business in March. I've been paying my bills by working at a slightly
more than
part-time pace at my Army Reserve unit.  Consequently, I
leave for Sarejevo on October the 15th and won't get back until April. When I
do get back I'm probably going back into the Active Army.

I want to see the second GZG WCC happen. I had a terrific time last year and I
don't think I was the only one. It was great that we were able to pull a GZG
con together for the West Coast. The room is already reserved. All that needs
to happen is for people to show up. You guys can make this as informal or as
complicated as you feel it
needs to be.  I hope there's another GZG WCC - I just can't
be the guy to make it happen - this year.

If no one steps up, I'm willing to run it, though there's a catch:). We run a
gaming convention here in Victoria BC every fall. This year it's
Oct 19th-21st. As a member of the coucil that runs it, we can have it
there. We have serveral GZG players, most notedly myself, Brian Burger, and
Corey Burger as well as sever off list.

Anyone interested?

I spoke to Ted last night, I'm willing to split the cost to see this happen.
Email your interest and game ideas to me at work (mbrown@atmi.com). About ten
participants are needed to make this a GO.
