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 want to say thank you to all of you who made it to this very first Sleuth Con. You were instrumental in making this an absolutely wonderful event. There may not have been a lot of us, but that was more than made up for in the quality of time we had.

Thank you also for all your suggestions. As we now begin preparing for next year's event, it will all help to determine when, where and how. :) I will announce that we seemed to reach a concensus on the general location of next year's event. Some where in the mid-west :D I (and others) will be looking for areas that can offer something sleuth related to our event, or at least game related.
One suggestion was to tie in with GenCon or a mystery only related convention. If any of you know of such, please let me know.

and finally... This gathering allowed me to become closer with the friends I already had made and to form new lasting friendships with players I was not as familiar with. It was a blast and I treasure the time I got to spend with all of you who were able to attend. I look forward to next year and forming more friendships while continuing to cement the ones I have.

::sniff:: Ah, Gee!!! GROUP HUG!!!!!

:D

I have gone to a lot of conventions, group gatherings, etc. in various places.

This little weekend get together was a very fun time. Meeting some of the legends of Sleuth like Woody and Carrie, sharing ideas and thoughts about the game, listening to Ben having his ear bent over a particular favorite request ( I head the words Gate Key more this weekend than the people at Buckingham palace do) and overall a very worthwhile way to spend the weekend.

I have to say that the Treasure Hunt that what'syourname put together was very creative and I heard that the reaction of housekeeping to finding a dead body in a room was priceless. The fact that Ben won the treasure hunt was funny as he was acting like a 'lone wolf'.

Already planing and scheming about the new game, and what sort of things to look forward to.

Hope to see you all there next year.
