FIRING ON ALL 8 CYLINDERS
Neoncon 2008 :: October 4th Update
==============================================

A lot has been happing with Neoncon. For starters the website itself has been
updated and improved. You were telling us that the shopping cart we used
before had issues. So, we've done our homework and found a better solution
based on the excellent Wordpress publishing platform. As a result, the entire
site has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cleaner, leaner and faster.

The new platform also allows us to easily post event updates to the site and
embed our Warhorn slot registration site as well. Now, everything you need
can be found in one place. Finally, moving to Wordpress allows us to add
some cool new features for conference attendees. We are still testing these
new features and will be rolling them out in the upcoming days/weeks.

The Breakfast Table

As gamers, we understand that breakfast is the most important meal of the
day at a convention. Therefore, we've worked with Palace Station Hotel and
Casino to provide a breakfast table in the main gaming hall on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. While you are welcome to take advantage of the many
great on-site restaurants, the Breakfast Table allows you to roll in to the
gaming hall before your first event, grab a reasonably priced meal and
take it directly to your gaming table.

Cash Bar
==============================================
This is Vegas! So, in the afternoon and evening, we will also have a cash bar
available in the convention hall on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Beer, mixed
drinks and soda will be available. Have fun and please drink responsibly.

Costume Contest
==============================================
Friday is Halloween. So, everyone is encouraged to game in costume that
evening. We'll be awarding prizes in a variety of costume categories, so have
fun with it. Feel free to dress up all weekend long, but be sure to Friday
evening!

Trick or Treat
==============================================
Missing the door-to-door candy haul? We have you covered! There will be lots
of great treats (and perhaps a few tricks) at the tables on Friday night!
