All things concerning legal files.

Mission Statement: Brightening the world through providing useful service and knowledge. Let's talk about that fan convention you're running, or the new one you're planning to run. I have practical experience and ideas, having attended dozens of conventions around the country as well as having worked for several over the last 30 years. I've studied the overall attendee experience as well as having worked in the planning of successful events. I know what fans want, what they expect, and what they DON'T like. I know how to stretch the precious convention budgeting dollar, which is always a key point in running a successful event in its first year and then over the course of multiple years.
