DualCon

I will not be able to run another DualCon. I have been unable to secure a location or date. There were some alternate locations I could have tried to move the convention to, but they were too small. I would have had to drop parts of the convention. Without having secured a date and location I did not feel right about accepting money from people for the convention and money was something I needed…

I have some news on next year. It is not good news though. The convention center will not let us book the convention center this far out. We will have to wait four months to properly book the center for next February. I am looking at other places we could book, but they are all smaller. It would mean having to drop some things (panels, fighting demos) depending on what we are allowed to do and…

It has been a few days since the convention and I finally have gotten everything sorted out so now I can thank you all for coming. Thank you for making it a success. Thank you for having fun when I was too stressed out to have any of my own. The con was not all I wanted it to be, but that did not seem to matter to anyone but me. Now for some house keeping. There was 245 paid attendees and all…
