[Northkeep] Comic Con Tulsa

[afeodorvna]

I'm a complete outsider having not attended any of your events in a VERY long time. For what it's worth my two cents. Now not knowing the lay out of the area since it was in the late 1980's that I was in the area is it possible to hold a "minor" event in a visible area outside of the convention that we as SCA have control of making it all the pomp and circumstance that we would do at any event. I realize certain aspects may not be feasible such as archery or thrown weapons or for that matter equestrian but we could still display such items. 
Thats just my thoughts

</div>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.
