Very true. I just wish our first convention could've been a small local once, as that would've greatly minimized our expenses. But we're having some trouble finding local conventions that'll have us, due to the religious/conservative nature of our city.
You put yourselves in quite a specific niche in that respect.
I can hardly imagine what it's like to live in a very religious or conservative city. I mean, the Dutch generally aren't particularly conservative and I currently live in a city where someone decided to
play the imperial march to welcome MPs coming to campaign against independence.
(The Scottish will have a referendum on independence from the UK next week)
