Meeting Time.   Some time ago, KAG was feeling pretty damned snappy, proud of itself-- we'd gone to war with the STARFLEET clubs (Dark Justice War) and clobbered them hard.  Klingon club expansion was done OUR way, the KLINGON ASSAULT GROUP way, and those Klingon organizations that charged dues or were too rigid in their thinking fell by the wayside.
 
We'd been hurt by nationalism-- KAG/Kanada split off; sure, they played by the basic KAG Rules, but it still smarted.
 
KAG then had a thought:  Co-opt a convention to be a National Convention for KAG.  HOPECON in Ohio fit that bill nicely.  Man, did we party! 
 
Then... CIVIL WAR within KAG.  Loyalties tested, twisted, and torn. Everything ugly in fandom possible--INCLUDING embezzlement--was seen.  We lost a lot of good people, and a whole bunch of that damned snappy feeling as well.
 
End of history lesson.
 
That era of pain is pretty much at an end, too.
 
SO.  What now?  I think it is time for the KLINGON ASSAULT GROUP--  the whole damned thing (Canada, Australia, Europe, you-name-it!) to think about having a get-together.  KLINGON ASSAULT GROUP INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE.
 
Admiral Qob and I were at ConVergence in Minneapolis.  BIG hotel,  and this year's con had over 2100 registered, with MOST of their rooms filled.  The place can handle big conventions...

That'd be a great place.  And if not there, then someplace just as big,
just as good.

The timing?  2006.   Come and party with your brothers.  No politicking... well, not much... but partying and panels, drinking and discussion.  Headbutting optional.
 
Guests?  Sure.  YOU.  EVERYBODY.  Special Guests?  We're thinking Martok, and Lursa, and a Klingon writer or two.  But mostly, we're thinking of halls filled with happy KAG members from all over.
 
We're thinking about getting that damned snappy feeling back!  Now, let's discuss this thing like the calm, rational, wig-and-latex-wearing fans that we really are!
