last year left a very unpleasant taste in my mouth. I do not ever be confused with real military.
The fact is the numbers have been falling off since i started attending in 2012. this is an old fandom with niche appeal some people have moved on some have not been made to feel welcome. So what are you doing to recruit new members?
Sorry you are letting someone's ignorance keep you from doing the parade. It is a convention. I and several others have been going to cons to recruit new members so I do not know what that is suppose to mean. How are your numbers over there? I know others just sit around and moan. That seems to be real popular just complaining. Just look at the numbers and you will see that DragonCon has doubled in just the last 10 years. It is like filling a 5lb bag with 10lbs. It is hot and extremely crowded. Let alone the hassle for new members to get rooms and attend.
Thanks!
