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?

Let's do it!! I like jstkdn's idea of mini conventions. I have started a thread for a southeastern mini get together. I am in North Carolina, anyone interested should post there.

If there is a convention of sleuthers, I hope Ben puts up a link of all the pictures taken. That would be a great plus for all of us who couldnt attend.

Of course, now that Ben and Sunny have come to their senses and relocated back to Seattle, I'm thinking Seattle ought to win more votes again...

I'd vote airport with lots of flight deals, so an airport hub. For the US this usually automatically means DC, NYC, Chicago. Sometimes Vegas. Vegas would have the most decent hotel discounts most likely if it is off peak. My experience if destinations are picked where there are not lots of flight deals to, it usually means not a lot of people can come. Personally I'd love to do NYC, just for the fact that our first sleuth city is located there.

Sounds smashing, sadly I'm in Australia and don't as yet own a passport.

Right, so I was thinking about this and I realised how perfect my hometown would be for a Sleuth Convention. It rains all the time and is grey. We have a lot of Victorian old buildings. We have a haunted castle. We have a habour/ports/docks. We have a Victorian Styled train station (great to insert those twists). As for factions, well, our Mayor is Chinese... not only that there a two big Chinese families with vast warehouses and close ties to the local Casino. There's also the &*^% family who are of Lebanese origin who own most of the real estate. There's a lot of seedy bars with those Shady characters too...
