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

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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

convention as I was one of the founders.<br>
Due to personal conflicts with a member of the staff I had to walk away.<br>
<br>
The Demo is no longer happening. After I left All-Con got in contact with<br>
the Demo coordinator from Elfsea. Just a fwe weeks ago the Demo
coordinator<br>
decided it would be a bad idea for the SCA to do a demo there; on reason<br>
being that All-Con wants everyone to *PAY* them a full day pass fee ($10 a<br>
person) to get in to present the demo. So the coordinator cancelled.<br>
<br>
All-Con was asked to remove the SCA from their activities list but has<br>
failed to do so as of yet.<br>
