I've had this idea before, but the recent exploits of TAKKDD have solidified my idea that it might actually be possible: The First Annual Sleuth Convention. Why not?

The ideal place would, of course, be the mecca of it all--Boulder, Colorado. But if Ben & Sunny don't want all the hoopla so close to home, anywhere else would be fine as well. We could plan it a few months out so that people have time to plan up & save for airfare, etc. Those who are interested can come and meet those they know (and don't know) from Sleuth.

Want even more fun? What if everyone dressed up like a character from Sleuth (your character, the butcher, the lady with the magnifying glass, Larry the Toe, etc)?

Would anyone besides me & Moonshh be interested? Or is this a totally lame idea?

It is ironic, that the people I met at the ExtravaGANza in DC, I am now going to visit again in Atlanta. Yet now going to meet, new community, new people in DC again.

Many people met during the ExtravaGANza's. Many becoming long lasting friends, even after leaving the community. Also several marriages, and long term relationships came out of it.

It is something I will never forget.

Keep in mind the big get togethers, were not organized, until a lot of small get togethers were organized. I think people were game to meet a lot of strangers, because there were also going to be people there that did meet each other before. At first, smaller groups met locally, people within a few hours of driving distance. Then it became people, that travelled longer distances to meet smaller groups. Eventually the big events were created, in part it was a reunion with people you met before, and in part people you were absolutely dying to meet, and in part new people that you never talked before and you totally hit it off with.

Hey, find out who is near you! And try to meet!

If there is more interest for people meeting, or knowing who is near their location. It may be an idea, to set up several threads for instance:
1) People on the East coast, 2) West coast, 3) Mid-West, 4) The south, 5) Canada, 6) foreigners.

I'd be interested in meeting some sleuths, but I don't think boulder is convenient for very many people. Seems like it would be more reasonable to try to organize something where there are more players. Sunny and I have lots of friends in New York, so if any of you east coasters would be interested in heading there, that would be fun.

I agree that New York is a good idea. It's easy to watch airfare prices and good a good price there. Plus there are hotels and extra-curricular activities abound.

Originally I had the idea of just having our agency get together (a smaller gathering, less to coordinate), but then I thought--why not invite everyone? Certainly it would be easier to get small, regional groups together, but I think getting everyone together would be fun, too. I realize international people and younger players are at a disadvantage, but perhaps with enough advance notice we can get a few of you to join us!

If people continue to express interest in this (I'll keep watching this message over the next few days), then I'll spearhead getting a group of people who are willing to coordinate and set it up. Jstkdn, given your experience in this sort of thing, your efforts would be appreciated if you have the time and motivation. :)
