Greetings to the list.
I am meeting with the convention coordinator again Friday for the final time before the convention.  I have still only had a couple of replies on the list of who is attending. So please if you are planning to assist with the Demo, I need to have reasonably accurate numbers to report to her on Friday.
Erik how is the discussion on the light weapons going? If it is going to happen I need to know NLT the 15th so I have time to let people know about the change.

Yours in Service

Believe me, I am left scratching my
head as much as you are. When I was first read the
weapons rules I figured we would'nt be able to have any
fighting. Seems though since they don't have steel
blades and don't actually look like swords they're ok.
They allow baseball bats on campus but not fencing weapons.
