Does this mean you don't want to use the page on the website to
solicit new dealers? We've been waiting for you to respond to our
requests for the content. If you aren't going to solicit new dealers
on the web, it's probably a good idea for you to say that on your page
of the site.

It's true that Lucy Snyder is a Nifty Guest. Her husband is not.

In the past we've proposed that there be a Penguicon table to sell
merch by GoHs, Nifties, and other Program Participants as well as
Penguicon t-shirts. None of them would own table space to fight over;
we would just arrange their stuff how we want to. It would need the
recruitment of an additional Penguicon staff member with whom to staff
it. Unfortunately I'm not sure who would arrange for that person other
than you. So that might be a bit of extra workload on your part. What
do you think of the idea?

Not currently. We'll decide that the October meeting. If you email
your November availability, as near as you know it by the 21st, we'll
take it into account when choosing a November date.
