*Questions:*
*Northfest: *Also, are we doing both Festifall and Northfest? I don't see
dates for Northfest being given out anywhere, and I thought we'd signed up
to do both. (Not that my new job allows me the freedom to help... but it
needs to be advertised.)
*Closing of the Range:* I thought this was happening on Saturday? If it
is on Sunday, October 25th - that conflicts with the Cynnabar Throwdown,
where us rapier fighters ask far-off fighters to come to our practice and
Roaring Wastes fighters move their practice to ours. Will I be able to
advertise the location of Dillon's property on Facebook and email so people
know where the Throwdown is occurring? This is concerning to me, that we
wouldn't be able to advertise the location that conflicts with us asking
people to visit us. Roaring Wastes needs to able to tell their fighters
where to go, and I do, too. That would be very difficult to do entirely by
private messages.
