... Okay I think what Greg is trying very hard to say nicely is that there are HUGE problems with this idea, especially with the food and drink issue.
Yes, this.
Therefore, NDK as a convention would not be able to actually endorse any form of this, so your option, at least for the immediate future, is that it would be a room party type thing.
No, not this. I think a host club is a fine idea, but there are a lot of things that would need to be worked out to make it happen. I'm not sure if we can work all of those things out, but if we can work out the biggest issues, this could still happen. But it's going to take a lot of time, research, and discussion to reach any kind of conclusion.
As for doing this as a private event or "party room," that's even less likely to be OK with the hotel. If this happens, it needs to be an official con-sponsored activity.
But keep in mind, the hotel might not take kindly to that either, since you would still be cutting into their business. The hotel takes these things VERY seriously.
Indeed. And it might even be in our contract that we can't do something like this at all. And as I said before, we're almost certainly not going to amend our hotel contract to make this happen.
You should probably just wait a bit for the staff to recover from the con, then talk to Greg to see what, if anything, is possible to do. Going through Greg, who is in charge of paneling, is the only way you would be able to get this off the ground.
Indeed. This is going to be the only way it's going to happen.
Trust me I know that one. Its just turned out to be a touch more problematic than i thought it was going to be.
Unfortunately, you're butting up against half a dozen things that need to be considered before this idea can be called "feasible."
I know greg and i know that if there's a way to do it he'll help us find it.
If it's possible, yes. But as mentioned, this might never get off the ground for a number of reasons. I'll certainly be looking into it, though.
Which reminds me, Greg when the board of directors meet would it be possible for the brothers Steele to attend?
In a word: no. Our board meetings aren't open to the public for a variety of reasons. I'll be discussing any relevant issues related to this with the board of directors.
As for using the charity money for it, i would rather not. That money was raised for a specific purpose, to help others who can't help them selves. I can't take the money from the people the charity money is intended for to run a host club at the convention, it wouldn't be right. There are other options that are still open.
That was
never an option. What I said was that, if the host club happens, any money collected for the host club would go straight to charity, not into anyone's pocket. And we certainly wouldn't take
from the charity
for a host club. That would be seriously immoral and probably illegal.
