[Hellsgate] Geekfest Demo

[Joe Simmons]

I intend to ensure that all legalities have been checked thouroughly before 
we put a non-scadian in armor on a college campus.
It is undersatndable abou the time thing.  We all need that bit of down time 
occasionally.  However we would welcome anyone else who would like to be of 
assistance from the Barony. Fighters, dancers etc.
