[Perform-Talk] Flashback Friday: Talent Show

Fri May 20 18:44:28 UTC 2016

This sounds like quite the idea! You should note that I will be making a motion during the business meeting that the board insist you perform purple rain by Prince at this year's talent show.
I'm 100% certain I'll get a second to that motion. :-)

What of those who would have to carry those instruments along with the things they bring to convention.   I have a difficult time traveling light to convention as is and  I suspect I’m not the only one out of the thousands of people that come to convention.

>>> In short I see this as an inclusive show of talent of all types, and I hope that it stays that way.
