​Greetings ConCoctioneers!!!!

Just a couple of quick announcements...

First. You should really get a hotel room for the convention. It's only $94.00 per night (plus taxes and fees). Staying on site allows you to take part in all of the late night and early morning stuff. Plus, by getting a room, you are helping to support ConCoction and make it a better event. (Lotsa folks don't realize that the more room nights are actualized, the cheaper it is for us to rent the function space at the Bertram. We turn those savings around and invest them in the convention.) Go here to make a reservation:

Second, and going along with the abovementioned late night stuff. PARTIES. We like parties, and we know you like parties, too. We like parties so much that we have a dedicated wing at the Bertram just for that purpose; and, given the right set of circumstances, we will let you (or your organization) use one of the party suites for FREE. That's correct. I said FREE (it's in all caps, so you know I mean business about it). If you are interested in hosting a party at Cleveland ConCoction 2020, shoot me an email at hotelliaison@clevelandconcoction.org and we can talk about the process.

Thanks,

Thank you so much to the members of @WindyCon 46 for voting ConCoction 2020's party for "The Best Food Award"!! 

Thank you so much to Ashley Berry Parson for her excellent baking skills on the from scratch cakes/cupcake cakes she made the Thursday before the con that survived the drive from Ohio to Chicago. 

Thank you to Jo Lauck, Beaker Lauck, and Lexi Taylor for their help in our unload on Friday. 

​Thank you also to Alyson Petroski and Scott Schultz for all their help with the hotel and keeping in touch with all of us on the party floors. 

Hope to see you all again at ConCoction 2020 and at WindyCon 47!!

I'm sure you have all heard by now that Cleveland ConCoction has a new home. What you might not know is that our new home is as welcoming to the time honored tradition of the Convention Party as our old home was.
We have secured several suites at the Bertram Inn to have these parties, and it is possible for YOU to get one to have your party in.

If you and your fan group,or you and your friends, want to throw a rager at ConCoction, we still have a few suites left. If you bring in several paid memberships and a couple of hotel nights, or a combination thereof...
Or if you bring in a way cool, totally bitching party concept, or programming idea, we can get you a suite at NO CHARGE to you to have your event.
Contact me at hotelliaison@clevelandconcoction.org if you are interested.  - Eric

This weekend we'll be at two different conventions sharing the love of ConCoction. 

Next up - the most fantastic fall convention in Lombard, Illinois, and this year they are celebrating all things Dystopian - WindyCon 44! 

We'll be stealth flying in to run two small open door parties in room on Friday and Saturday night. Small snack foods and drinks will be served to those that find us in our secret hidden base where we will be celebrating all things Heroes and Schoolhouse for our 2018 Convention theme. 

See you at WindyCon!!

Exciting news here from our Hotel/Party Liaison! 

We are very pleased to announce that Dog Star Books will be having a Release Party for two of their newest offerings on Friday night at Cleveland ConCoction 2016. Many of their authors will be attendance, but you can be sure to meet Heidi Ruby Miller, whose newest book "STARRIE," (which is part of her Ambassadors Series) will be one of the featured offerings.
The other new and cool thing to find at this party is Matt Betts' science fiction poetry collection, which goes by the name of "Underwater Fistfight." I don't know what an underwater fistfight would be like, and I bet that neither do you. 

Stop by this party in the Sheraton's A Wing on Friday night to find out!!!
