[Stargate] Fighter Practice - March 25th against Art Festival - so many questions!

[Brandon Garner]

I tend to agree. I don't think the pay off/effort ratio is right to do this demo, especially not that soon after war. 

I also like the idea of moving practice for that Sunday to the park by the Menil. The type of people who live in that neighborhood and visit the park are a lot closer to our target audience, too. 

Thoughts?
