Events Coordinator’s Report
Dragon*Con was a success. The party was fun. Attendance was high. There was one minor unpleasantness involving someone who drank too much.
Bil, who was our bouncer, had to turn away many underage people, which resulted in big crowds of people hanging out in the hallway outside the suite. This is something we could look into addressing in the future.
