NEWS OF THE CREW
Please raise a glass to toast our newest member, Amber Kent. Welcome and congratulations. Shai Dorsai!
Meet Oz. After working tirelessly for three straight days in the security office at IFC 2022, the Dorsai banded together to adopt them raising $1175 ($1369 total with additional contributions from other con members) for the IFC charity Exotic Animal Rescue and Pet Sanctuary. Say hello to Oz the Security Dragon! Expect to see Oz at future conventions.
NEWS OF FANDOM
The Dorsai Turn 50
In 1973, after an incident at Torcon 2, Robert Asprin realized the need for a corps of experienced fans who could provide security, crowd control, guest escort and other services to conventions, and with knowledge of the norms and customs of fandom, could, in theory, provide these services without the hostility and conflict caused by a clash of cultures between the mundane world and the fannish. The next year, with permission from Gordon R. Dickson to use the name, Robert formed the Dorsai Irregulars.
This year the Dorsai Irregulars celebrate its 50th year as an organization. During this time we have provided services to over 230 events ranging from Star Trek conventions to Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, Furry, Media and Gaming conventions, and even the Experimental Aircraft Association air shows in Oshkosh, WI.
Shai Dorsai!
