Great. Looks like we definitely should get together for drinks! How about we post to this thread with meet-up times and such. I've got to make dinner reservations for hubby and I so while I'm doing that, I look around for a great place to meet for drinks.

Voodoo, check out the Downtown Hilton, they've got rooms for $100 a night if you pre-pay. Never stayed there before but it looks nice. It looks like it's 3 blocks away from the convention (4th & Olive).

Everyone, I just booked three seminars to go to. I'll take copious notes to share with everyone.


Seminar #1:

Over The Top Art Direction: Creating Massive Sets and Intense Scenes With POW!

Join Dan McCullough and The House of Torment team as they explore the power of over the top art direction! See how they have taken a cinematic/video game-like approach to fill their sets, costumes, characters and marketing with terrifying detail. Other topics covered will include the construction of HUGE sets and a discussion of their unique remote scare control room.

Seminar #2:

BUSCH GARDENS Howl-O-Scream Design Strategies — How To Keep Your Haunted Event Fresh Each Year With New Themes!

Busch Gardens Tampa is well known for changing large parts of its event every year and refining and reimagining the rest of its attractions. How do they produce one of the largest Halloween events in the country while still operating a major theme park and a vast zoo at the same time? Learn how they have worked with unique themes over the years to create such a successful and terrifying event!

Seminar #3:

Designing Your Haunted Attraction In 3D With Cheap Software!

Learn how the staff of Universal Halloween Horror Nights uses SketchUp to design their entire event. This powerful program can create 3D walk-throughs, integrate with existing CAD programs and import photo backgrounds allowing a complete design before building a single wall panel! BONUS — See 3D walk-throughs of Universal Horror Night mazes!

MY wife and I are going we got our badges yesterday. We also will be going to the lights on tour of the Darkness.

I think you'll really like the SketchUp seminar Terra. Hubby and I designed our house and whole neighborhood with it. You can even add it to google earth afterwards.

Have fun!

It looks like The Dogman and I will be going.

Megan and I are jealous of ALL of you! Take lots of pictures.
