Greetings all,

It's Captain Swanson here from the HMS Gryphon.

It's time for a roll call of all those would be able and willing to donate their time to help fun a fan table at Inconjunction on 4th July to 6th July!

I will be manning the table Saturday 5th, but unavailable Friday and Sunday, other than to drop off & pick up table. gear.

I can also lend my pod shot ingredients if anyone is willing to host pod shots at any of the parties.
(I need to be home early to look after the pups due to the world exploding)

Attention all HMS Gryphon members,

The annual Whosyercon TRMN attendance will be starting Friday afternoon around 5pm (or earlier if someone can get there) and will continue until around 3pm Sunday.

Captain Sherman Day and myself will be in attendance, along with a few fellow crewmates already RSVP'd, but we would appreciate any help available as we will be running a fan table and Roll pods during the weekend.
