Old Business:

• Our table looked great and we talked to a lot of people.
• It was suggested that we be more careful that the entire crew not gather in front of the table blocking it from the public's view.
• Klingon Jeopardy was unfortunately cancelled because there was no place to hold it at the con. We are hoping that this will change as the con grows and the con-runner becomes more experienced.

• Jim reminded everyone that O-Con will be different, there will be more activity, panels to attend, game rooms, and more events.
