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.

applause,,,,,,

well done Rhiem...

okay so it took me a while to read everything here... and after i took too long to reply i had to re-login...

I have to say.. I am a little pissed too.. I saw very few people willing to help with the first Sleuth Con... and now it seems like a pissing match. *shakes head* this thread was for SUGGESTIONS ... or did I read the title wrong?

Rhiem did all the work with Sleuth Con I... I just did what was needed when asked. Just as I will do if help is asked of Sleuth Con II.

I think it is great that so many want to help. But in my opinion if you were that concerned with the planning of the event why dont you just post your suggestions. Goodness, Rhiem had looked at every suggestion that anyone has put forth. Do you think that if you told her that you wanted to help that she would say no? or that if you had a suggestion that worked that she would turn it down?

As an attendee of SluethCon I, I would like to say Thank You to Rhiem, while we would have liked a bigger turnout it was still fun. I still laugh at the fact that at the dinner theater, our table asked the question that established the motive, thanks , Briet (sp).

All that said, I don't have the time or energy to organize the next one, if it is finacially possible I will attend again

Rhiemma, it was great that you got a group rate, the meals included was probably too far. I know myself and woody never used those breakfast coupons and I know it you probaly had to pay for 20 at luncheons even though there was only 8 of us.

It was great that Ben came, in fact him and me went 30 miles the wrong way finding the hotel, but that's another story

I like the idea of getting together to meet everyone. From the business standpoint i can see that it would probably help Ben and Sunny the most if it was tied in somehow to a gaming or video game convention. Something tied into the distro of the new game (Sleuth II right?) <I know I've been gone a while.> I've been getting interested in viral campaigns, advertising, and networking lately. Video podcasts, blog postings, digg, stumbleupon, and various other web 2.0 (ha ha) features could be utilized to help publicize the launch of the new game along with the sleuth con II.

Back to suggestions... in DC: The intl spy musem http://www.spymuseum.org/ San Fran has Alcatraz, plus the huge tie in to Dashielle Hammet. Los Angeles has lots of mystery dinners as well as MANY famous murder mystery locations which you can go to for tourist type places. (didn't say ideas would be in good taste.) As well as Raymond Chandler and many other Noir Writers. London has the Jack the Ripper tours as well as the Tower of London. I'm sure there has to be stuff like this in other major cities around the world. A mafia/Al Capone tour in Chicago maybe? New York is one of our cities in the game. Maybe a nice tie in to visit there.

Just some ideas, hope they spark some debate.

::HHHUUUUUUGGGGGSSSSSSSSS:: I've missed you! :D

West Coast won't be this year. But, it's never too early to start looking for venues here. :)

It will be Mid-West... just have not made a firm decision yet as to where. I'm still researching locations and venues.

Woo Hoo, lets hear it for the mid-west. I think hotels and overall expenses will be cheaper in the mid-west. So that will be a big plus.

Has anyone ever heard of the mystery dinner train and know what city that is located in?

One suggestion that some turned in was:

Very similar to the dinner theater we attended in Orlando.

There is actually a Murder Mystery dinner train, but it is in Florida:

Not to be putting the idea of a murder mystery down, but since many are complaining about the cost to come, doesn't a murder mystery cost quite a bit per person?
