[Northkeep] Comic Con Tulsa

[Adalia]

Ian,

I, for one, am grateful for your work for this endeavor.  I totally agree
that recruitment is important and completely necessary if we are to
continue in our hobby.

Will you be attending Fighter Practice this evening?  If so, Jutte and I
would love to visit with you about the opportunity.  Again, we have very
little understanding of conventions as we've not participated in them.

Do you have any insight into a deadline for a decision?  I'm very
interested in hearing more opinions before making any decision.
