Subject: [OTsorta] RE: SFSFW- U.S.
Just sent a note to Messer Blease, with a few questions including, but not limited to: *** Last few questions would center on the idea of a USA chapter/branch that's been floated on the GZG list. Instead of expecting concrete answers, I'll just pose them as subjects for thought and debate. Would there be a separate Ragnarok? Would the offers from 'vendors' be extended the USA folk, and would we be hunting for same from USA manufacturers? Is this a clever ploy for funds to visit the USA under the guise of 'inspection' of the new branch? ;->= *** Again, these were considered thought provokers. I'm just hoping that the invitation to sign up for the SFSFW maillist constitutes confirmation of my membership. ;->= I think that having such an organization can help in con support. I know the organizers of events at GenCon would like to know SOMEBODY was looking out for them. The scheduling errors were nightmarish. On a side, but finally ON TOPIC, note, in penance for my earlier equating BDS with FBII, I bought a couple of Kra'vak for SGII blisters at GenCon, and will now share your pain until BDS does see the light of day. Which means double pain until FBII shows. ;->= The_Beast
