I'm so happy to see the Kon will continue! Tower and I had one of the most memorable trips we've ever had last year. You all will have the most amazing time meeting members! We're sorry to say we won't be able to attend this year as our trip fund is in the hole.:( We have to settle for a haunted Minnesota trip along the north shore. Wish we could take everyone with us too! We'll be thinking of you and wishing we were there. Some one needs to have a Batch 19 beer for us. :very_drunk:

Scott needs to get a head count on those coming, so as he start to pursue activities and the like-he'll have some idea what to tell his contacts...

he's already think on the tee shirt idea:...I'm thinking since Shawshank was filmed there, that I'll look into neon orange shirts with an "inmate" number on them and "Shawshank State Prison" on the back...and King Kon(con)2014 somewhere on it...

and the Stephen King store at Cafe press has one example available already-
Stephen's Shawshank Design : The StephenKing.com Store

So here is the official place to sign up, check back for updated info, and get ready for this summers adventure.


Good job Lady Spidey.

...cool out sweetie...I'm just now getting the wheels in motion...just today put a call into the Visitors and Convention Bureau Director so I can start getting things squared away and info posted-most places require 25 or more for a discount, and right at the moment it's 8 counting Tracy and I...had to have place and dates before I could get started...meanwhile, here's their official link www.mansfieldtourism.com....

Ditto Scott . . .do your thang.

I want to stay in close proximity to all the action and I don't want to pay over $100 a night for a room.

Looking forward to this trip. I just hope I don't run into any of my exes who are from Ohio. that would be awkward.
...look up "Ontario, Ohio"...it's where the hub of shopping and lodging is in Mansfield...it's a small community surrounded by Mansfield, that ended up with all the commerce...

Oooh - this is cool - I am originally from Toronto, Ontario, Canada (cue the "Twilight Zone" music) - I look forward to being there this summer @GNTLGNT!

...my plan is, is for Tracy and I to get our room and try to work a deal with the hotel to use a small meeting room, and make that our base of operations-so that we have somebody there to greet everyone as they come in-or at least know where to find us...
Count me in - I would like a room with a great big bed if possible - I like to sleep diagonally - if it means pushing Andy off the side, well so be it... (Just kiddin') but I really DO want to book a room (seriously).
