.....soooooo, I finally had a chance to speak with a delightful young lady at the Dodge City Visitor and Convention Bureau yesterday....she is putting together a tentative list of "things to do" next Summer.....I have chosen the weekend of July 17th-19th 2020.....lots of history, plenty of shopping, a distillery tour, possible paranormal hunt, Boothill Cemetery etc.......there is a nearby casino for those so inclined and she will also have a list of hotels and eatery's who will be vying to accommodate us.....will keep you posted as info arrives....
Thank you so much for taking this on, Scott! It sounds like it will be a lot of fun.
Excellent thankee for planning the event.
.....I know it sounds kinda "textbook" and all, when it comes to the "history"-but to me, it will be shared in the company of friends which automatically takes it to a different level.....
Not to me, especially since I know zilch about Dodge City. Learning the history of a place is right up my alley and sharing it with friends is an added bonus.
Good to see ya, Nomie. I'm going to bend heaven and earth to make it.
....my sincerest apologies for the tardiness on getting this posted, but most of you are aware of the sh*t show my life has been lately. Below you will find the accommodations available for next July and I've already taken the liberty of telling my contact that the Marriott property will be the "official" King site because it offers the most bang for the buck-but if you choose to book elsewhere that is entirely up to you.....

The Marriot looks nice enough and that is a very good rate. Weather should be good for the outdoor area most nights, I would hope! If we decide to book there, do we need a code to get the group rate?
.....I would just let them know you're with our group.....my lady in Dodge City has made them aware......we need to get as many people in that location as possible, because I have a feeling that rate may be based on the booking of 30 rooms.....not looking for luxury, just someplace decent to lay my fat head.....
Hey, remember me? Things have been totally nuts around here and I haven't had much time to play on the computer. I'm not sure how likely it is that I'll make this Kon given the big travel plans we already have lined up for next year but I'm hoping it'll just work out somehow. Miss you all!
....hope it works out...
....the Manager of the "Official" property is now in the fold....I have her contact info if you should need anything, but their website is pretty all encompassing....
I think King Kon could rival comic-con, lol
Scott!!! It is just so awesome that you are the Man on the job yet again. I for one appreciate just how much effort you put into making these things happen. (Stop kicking yourself my friend, you are doing super fantastic)
Whether I am considered a "regular" here or not anymore, I will be there for this! I absolutely can not wait to see some of you again....and some for the first time. I haven't missed one yet and have no intention of missing this one.
Come on July!
.....yay!....can’t wait either and I appreciate the good words...you are always with us, no fear there....the Musketeers will make their final ride...much love to you and Vince.....Scott!!!
