Announcing the First Annual Sleuther's Convention:

SLEUTHCON I

Who? You
When? June 15-17, 2007
Where? Best Western Lakeside, Orlando (Kissimmee), FL
What? The cost for attending will be $125. This does not include your room, but does include meals (Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner on Saturday and Breakfast on Sunday) and activities. Rooms will be $69.00 per night booked in advance through the hotel. Simply tell the booking agent that you are attending SleuthCon I.

Activities/Events:

The evening of June 15th will essentially be a chance for people to get checked in and organized. It will also serve as a time for introducing ourselves to each other.

Saturday the 16th will be the main day of activities including a treasure hunt and concluding with a mystery dinner theater. There will be door prizes as well as other prize categories to be announced, such as farthest distance traveled to attend. Sunday will conclude the event with breakfast and gathering in the meeting room to hand out the last prizes and say our farewells.

As the event approaches I will have more detail on activities and prizes. I highly recommend booking early as the rooms will fill fast. Comments and suggestions will be duly noted and possibly used. :)

Hotel info is here:

It is best to call them as you will need to tell them you are attending SleuthCon I to get the reduced rate.

We will have it set up soon to take payments to reserve your spot at the convention. I will update here as soon as I have the particulars.

I know the first ever Sleuthcon will be wonderful and lots of fun. I hope many of you attend. Unfortunately, I will be in my seventh month of pregnancy and will not be attending. It is also the same weekend as a big walk-a-thon/fun-run I plan here in Seattle. However, I expect to hear many reports and see many, many pictures!

Thanks Rhiemma Moon and others for planning this!

Sleuthcon sounds great. Will there be a prize for the acency with the most detectives in attendance?

That is a very good suggestion for a prize category. Thank you, Flo. :) Since agencies are so varied in number of members, though, I think that it would be better as a percentage of members present. Thoughts?

And Sunny, you are so welcome. I wish you could be there, but I most certainly understand why you can't. :) There will be lots of info shared and pics galore!

We'll get a website up and ready so that people can see what's happening as we go. With free wireless available, I can upload pics daily. :)

For those who want to communicate via email regarding this event, you can send questions, etc to Sleuth_Con@yahoo.com . Or, by all means, ask here. Your questions here may spark others to ask other questions. :)

just realized a percentage of members present gives the advantage to smaller agencies rather than leveling the playing field. I'll give it some thought.

maybe both categories, absolute number AND percentage.

Can we have a costume ball with period costume?

Yes! A little sleuth god/dess! I can't wait! :)

doing both categories is possible. I won't rule it out. :)

As for the costume ball, Flo had asked a similar question of me concerning a costume contest. We are still ironing out the details on the Sleuth Mystery Dinner Theatre. However, my understanding is that it won't go past 9:00 pm. I believe we have the banquet room until Midnight or so. Costumes could be worn all Saturday or just for the evening events and judging could take place after the dinner event. Judges for the event would be chosen in advance of members who had confirmed reservations and volunteered.

Additionally, There is a possibility that we will have a photographer there who specializes in period photos. This person has the costumes, sets, etc. My understanding is that he is very good and quite reasonably priced.

Rhie is in Shangri-La, so you get me :)

Thank you, Sunny for making this sticky. :)

I did want to add that there is a deadline for reservations. We MUST have your reservations by May 15th. And, unfortunately, seating is limited. The banquet room only holds 100.

And for the next 2-several days, you can field questions to 'whatsername' *giggles* or email Sleuth_Con@yahoo.com. Everyone else who knows anything will be off on villain hunts. :)
