[Elfsea] Fwd: [Steppes] CONVENTION DEMO?

[Valentyn Drake]

This is not completely correct, from what I understand.  I attend many of
these conventions as a guest author, so I hear quite a bit about the
programming from my contacts there.  My information is still third-hand, but
it differs from what's printed below.

 

What I've been told is that the convention committee at All-Con asked SCA
members pay to come in, and after the demo be reimbursed for their entry
fee.  My best guess is that it's a paper tiger to boost membership numbers a
bit, even though their net income will remain the same.

 

Whatever the reason, it seems like a fairly minor point that could be worked
out if someone wants to coordinate it calmly with the convention staff
rather than taking up arms.

Yes, I am very familiar with the convention as I was one of the founders.
Due to personal conflicts with a member of the staff I had to walk away.

The Demo is no longer happening.  After I left All-Con got in contact with
the Demo coordinator from Elfsea.  Just a fwe weeks ago the Demo coordinator
decided it would be a bad idea for the SCA to do a demo there; on reason
being that All-Con wants everyone to *PAY* them a full day pass fee ($10 a
person) to get in to present the demo.  So the coordinator cancelled.

All-Con was asked to remove the SCA from their activities list but has
failed to do so as of yet.
