You might want to try bouncing them off of , who posted about it in his LJ – I have been informed by Takaza that if I even think of such things he’ll whap me upside the head 🙂

I might feel differently next year 😉 I finished packing up OPS at 10pm, and then had nothing to do until 4:30am when my shuttle left. 😉 While that may seem late, especially after a long long long con, there were tons of high-energy furries in the two big meeting rooms.
A con-length hunt could be pretty easy to work, and if we could figure out a way to hand out prizes of some sort at the end of it, that would be even better. Perhaps get prints, coupons, and/or other low-end donations from the dealers? And/or a certificate/trophy of some sort?
But whether or not something like that is added to the con fun list, we still need something to do Sunday night. Something quasi-organized. A scavenger hunt would work nicely because it would help to disperse the *loud* crowd to other areas of the hotel and/or surrounding city. Which might not be great, either, especially if it brings them into the vicinity of sleeping guest rooms.
It wouldn’t need to be a collection type hunt–photos would work just as well. It’s best if the scavenger hunt (con-long or Sunday-night-only) didn’t require purchases of any sort. Con-goers tend to be poor, especially by Sunday night. 😉 Also, since a large portion of the Sunday Night crowd were artists and fursuiters, art-themed items on the list would be a plus.
For example:

A double-tipped hot-pink marker (photo OK)
A sketch of a stripe-tailed weimeriner eating a banana (no photo)
5 pencils, no two of which having the same hardness (no photo)
A hook-shaped needle (no photo)
A fursuit consisting of at least 5 different colors (photo OK)
A costume foot with fewer than 3 or more than 5 toes. (photo OK)
Velcro (no photo)
4 unique plastic or styrofoam cups (each of a different style) (no photo)
4 unique recyclable containers (aluminum cans & plastic bottles of different brands) (no photo)

Nice choice of music, though. I heard the original Bowie version for the first time (!) at AC, in the dealer’s room.

One of the items on the list was a picture of the art show door. Vlad and I put a sign up stating that we were charging $1 to photograph said door. I think at least 1 person actually paid.

Lol.. we weren’t really looking for it but it was just kinda starting at it as he walked away >.< It was just on the.. wrong damn suit too.. It was done well.. it was just a well known character that.. ugh.. moving on d=
There’s a lot of relatively cheap ideas that could work if you wanted to do a weekend long thing..
Proof you got some wierd furr~ish drink from the bar.
The quik-e-mart had 50 cent simpsons figurines (thinking.. random shit around town)
Maybe X matchbooks from local places.
If people had camera phones I like the photo ones… maybe photo with your species?

I’m not sure I *want* to search for things like that!
