One of our hotels appears to be suffering from a data breach. If you get any emails that look like this one, do not click on any links. See our announcement on the GOTF website here: getoutthefloat.com/beware-of-sc... and if you need to call the hotel, their number is 971-601-1082.

Snip of one of the scam emails going out to guests with reservations at Saltline.

Alright, that's me decided, I'm going to the convention just for this. :DDDD

Although I don't think I can participate unless I make a whole new head for it, my Yin Demon is noooot safe to do this in. But I want to see it!

So are we. It's what makes it so hard to put a convention together when your mind is in airspace and your body is in toymode. ^_^

Buyer's blvd is the only vendor area we have for 2026 - the dealers den we previously had upstairs was not getting enough traffic so we moved our dealers to be more accessible in the convention. :)

After two of our hotels sold out for the weekend, we added Ebb Tide Oceanfront Inn with room rates between $120 to $140 per night before taxes.
