This article was posted yesterday on Vancouver's Georgia Straight news site - and while I may seem biased because I am mentioned in the article because of my experiences with the show, my intent here goes no further than passing along the word about The Elans and reasons to not get involved with that show.

Here is the link, feel free to form your own thoughts and/or pass along the article to those who need to be aware.

If you do a search in Google for The Elans, there is a blog on page 1 of the results titled "The Truth About The Elans" which is worth reading as well.

Thanks for pointing that out, Tami. The Elans 2010 are listed in the events section here, I've added a link to this forum topic in the event comments.

I've seen their press release on gamespress for the ticket contest - just note that such contests are really more about getting email contacts than awarding anything to winners.
