The Venue Assistance Program is a program that is aimed at removing product from game stores that is not selling. Texicon will
work with the venue to purchase this game product. Doing this will make the game store stronger by turning its product back into
cash, which will allow that store to reinvest this cash into its store, thus making it stronger.
In today's environment, game stores (i.e. venues), and game manufacturers alike are struggling to stay afloat. Texicon wants to
assist players and GMs; however, we also want to assist manufacturers and game stores become more stable and grow. One
way we are accomplishing this is through our Venue Assistance program. Each year we accept submissions: from players,
venues, and industry professionals, recommending specific brick and mortar (Internet only stores do not qualify for this program)
Venues/Game Stores that have proven to be beneficial to the gaming community. The venue does not have to attend Texicon to
be considered. The Venue/Game Store must be a brick and mortar store (i.e. have a physical location). Most importantly, the
venue must be a store that is not solely concerned about making a profit. Its efforts and goals must include a desire to support
gaming. This means having a welcoming attitude to gamers by having a fun and enjoyable gaming space. The store must also
make valid attempts to grow or strengthen gaming in its area.
To be considered the owner must submit (via email or post) a one page written request detailing why his venue should be the
recipient of the Venue Assistance Program. Emails should be sent to karl@texicon.net In the subject line put "Venue Assistance
Program Request". Letters should be sent to:
Karl Pajak
106 Paint Brush Rd.
Fort Worth, TX 76108
We will review the application and choose a venue that meets the requirements and that needs the assistance the most.
The chosen venue will be contacted to make sure it is willing to work with Texicon, and that it is interested in participating in the
program. This program is subject to Texicon's discretion and may not be available every year.
We look forward to supporting your local venue. Best of luck to everyone.
Sincerely,
Kevin and Karl Pajak

Texicon is happy to announce that Wizards Asylum: Comics & Games has been chosen for the venue assistance program for 2011. It was selected out of all the
other applicants because it was burglarized. The loss of property and damage to this wonderful store has caused it serious trouble. We wanted to help Wizards
Asylum overcome this dastardly attack. The gaming community should understand this as an attack on all of us. Miscreants who would do such a terrible thing
need to see that we, the gaming community, will pull together to help out our players, gaming groups, business owners, and game manufacturers. In the 80's, the
community pulled together to help Steve Jackson Games overcome the looss of property and profit caused by the government when it raided SJGs. So, all of us,
both small and large are united by one thing above all. Our love of gaming and games. So, please join Texicon in sending Wizards Asylum our condolences and
well wishes.
