This thread is for ideas, suggestions, proposals, etc. NO idea is too silly to mention :) although some might be too impractical to implement.

As possibilities become probabilities, I will create another thread for the Con itself and concrete facts/decisions/information.

::chuckles:: I have no problem with the idea of west coast, being FROM the west coast. BUT... We also have the mid-west to consider. Do we go East then Mid then West, or East, West, Mid... or do we settle on another idea entirely and tie this in with a large established event that might serve to draw more people into Sleuth?

Tahiti? heh... I'd go to tahiti if someone bought me a ticket :D

As for having a contest for a ticket as the prize... are we talking plane ticket? Event ticket? all inclusive? and who's going to pay for this? Sleuth Con I did not break even... My goal for the next one is to either cut costs drastically, or get many more of you to come. Preferably the latter :D

2 reasons for my none attendance, firstly I'm in the UK lol! But also the cost would have been a little prohibative to me.

Well you had the Mid West to conisder when you all had it on the east coast, so its only fair to do a West coast too!

Well, Seattle to Orlando wasn't exactly a short trip for me, so I'd be all for a middle of the country location. A couple ideas that sound good:

1) Attaching it to a larger gaming or mystery conference. The obvious options would be GenCon (Indianapolis, August 2008) or BoucherCon (Baltimore, September 2008).

-or-

2) A bi-costal conference, held simultaneously in two cities (we'd need two sets of volunteers to organize). We could video conference a few activities. We could also organize some kind of mystery competition between the attendees at each location. That would be really fun actually.
