Archon

Can't complain, sir.

How about yourself? You and I saw each other recently at Archon up in St.

Louis.

So I'm very happy to

be hanging out with you here.

How did you like the show? I loved it.

I think Archon, I mean, I know this is kind of like the second iteration, you know, ever since, you know, the Swannapalooza days, which those were a lot of fun.

But This one, you know, last year we had it in Columbus.

Thanks.

Well, I'm sure you and I could have a full half hour conversation just about that aspect of it, but we are here at Archon once again to talk about kind of the young professional program and specifically your role in it.

I am interested, what's been your pathway through SWANA up to this point, getting to be a young professional on the board of directors?

With SWANA, I've actually only been a member of SWANA for, I think this will be my fifth year.

So that's a university engagement effort that we do and involves really anyone from, you know, the university students who are there all the way.

We need judges and experienced professionals in the industry to come and work on these projects with them.

We obviously support Archon in trying to get YPs engaged here.

Of

Ben Regas, Bobby Polite, Elizabeth Donald.

Just saw a hangout with Elizabeth at Archon this past weekend and her awesome husband, Jimmy.

I'll buy this for a dollar.

Rich Hammett, Chris Braun, Alex Browns, The Slinko, Family, the announcers were.

That's well done.

Nice, nice dungeon crawler Carl placement.

I saw about four dungeon crawler Carls at Archon.

We're a much smaller little local convention than Dragon Con, so there's only like four of them.
