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.

that should be fixed very shortly :D
Prices are as follows: children 0-3 are free, 4-11 $90, 12-16 $110, 17 and up is full price.
IF your child will not be participating in ANY part of the event (including meals) then registering the child is not necessary.
Just so you know... The cost of meals for the event is approximately $72, including tax and gratuity, per person. We do not get a price break for children as this cost is based on a minimum of 25 attendees and is paid full regardless. This does not include the breakfast buffet available to all guests of the hotel. For this you will purchase your reduced price Breakfast Buffet 'vouchers' at the time of check in. They will be approx $10 and include beverages, which the standard vouchers do not. (I think they have child prices for the breakfast buffet)
The remainder of your registration fee goes toward paying for the Sleuth Mystery Dinner Show, door prizes, entertainment, and the cost of the meeting room for 2 days.
That's all the updates I have thus far. Please remember that time is getting short. Register today! :D

Just booked flight, hotel and paid my registration last night. One last hurdle, get my Saturday shift covered at work. If nobody will work it for me, I just might come down with a sudden illness!!! ;-)

BTW, rather than a question and answer on Saturday (from 3-4), I'm planning on giving a SPECIAL PRESENTATION, which should be pretty fun.
So, if you are still deciding about whether or not to come, and you're a big fan of SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS: well maybe this will push you over the edge.

Gee, I dunno, Ben. I guess it all depends. Will Powerpoint be involved in any way? A laser pointer? A hawt guy handing out complimentary fezzes?
Also to be considered - some of us are already over the edge. Will straghtjackets be involved? If so, can you make sure mine is forest green?

I'll see if Cafe Press is offering a sale on branded straightjackets. I'm sure they'd be a big seller.
