Hello everyone!

I'd like to first thank you all for your support of Saboten-Con. By simply attending the event, you have shown us soooo much love and support. Whether you paid for a badge, earned yours through volunteering, or attended as a media/professional guest or exhibitor, you helped the convention become a success. And I can't even thank my staff members enough--they put on a great convention with just over three months of prep time! I have never worked with such talented and enthusiastic people, and I'm proud to call them my staff members.

I think that the feedback for Saboten-Con has been mainly positive, and it has all been constructive. Everything you've posted here could help improve our future events, and it will all be taken in close consideration.

Which is why I'm writing this message to all of you. We read all the feedback and we can see that you all want to see Saboten-Con continue as a convention. From the very start, I've wanted this convention to be something that the fans could shape through suggestions and requests, and we hear this request loud and clear: you don't want this to be the only Saboten-Con.

After consulting my staff members, I am pleased to announce that we *will* continue Saboten-Con in 2009, and hopefully far into the future.

Based on the convention this year, we will re-evaluate our location and date for next year. You are all welcome to post your request for a new date in this thread because (as always) your opinion counts with Saboten-Con!

Please give us a few months to look into hotel contracts and dates before we make any future announcements. However, feel free to keep posting suggestions and feedback on the forums, as it truly will shape the future of Saboten-Con.

Yours Always,
Cira Peterson
Convention Director
