Ooh! I have the tumblr site-
Twas one of the first things I did as soon as I got a flicker of interest! XD
Thanks very much for all your suggestions for the other things! Checking them out now!
Guys. GUYS. Guys.
Australia now has a Con. And they’re basing it off of the Bay Area Minicon, so possibly with catering and convention bags and ALL THE MADNESS!
It’s gonna be BRILLIANT!
Signal boost this for them so they can see how big a theater to rent?
They’re looking at late August, so VERY short notice and turn around time, please help them start with a bang!
For everyone that’s been commenting about how they wished the con was in Australia?
Now it is. Go say hello and give them your support! :D
Checkit out! Reaper made us a fantastic flyer!
If you live anywhere in the greater Bay Area (or even Tracy or Sacramento!) California and want to help spread the word, we really would appreciate you printing a few of these out to post in your local coffee shop, or any legal posting place.
We have a bit over a week left and well over 100 tickets left to sell.

Each character will have a clue leading the teams onward to gather the next clue, and will probably need to stand/sit/loiter(With permission!) for about an hour. We would ask you to try and have a bit of fun with it, and as a team you will all be in on the the people preceding and following you on the loop, feel free to ad-lib and have some fun with it!Think you’re up for it?

Two tentative fills for Sherlock and Anthea, still searching the rest of our intrepid team!

Just a quick reminder, 48 hours left to go.
Seriously, if you know anyone that has made Sherlock videos (We as a fandom have over 1,000 fan videos, there are tons of potential entrants!) ask them if they heard about us.

We received 3 anon messages asking for the delay- I do hope those were separate people and not one person multiple times. If we do get 3 more videos, the extension will be worth it.

I can not recommend her teas enough and I really hope that a lot of you get a chance to try them out!
If anyone wants to donate an item to the BAS for the Raffle, we are taking item Donations!
Have an Etsy Shop or small Fandom based buisness and want to get your name out?
All Raffle Donations and their source website will be linked from a special page on the Website come April 30th.
We are looking for posters, paintings, necklaces, pin collections, scarves, rubber stamps, books, stationary or artcard sets, shop vouchers, Sherlock Items of all types! If you would want to win the item we definitely want to give it to some lucky winner!
Alternately, if you’ve not the time or inclination to make something, maybe you have a connection to something that would make a great prize outside Fandom items!
If you work somewhere locally or with someplace that ships out items, a voucher for free goods or services would be a great boost for your business as well as a great raffle prize!
Side note:
Calling all small item creators!
Do you make buttons or artcards? We are looking for some fandom shops to work with to get groups of about 10-50 small items from for door prizes or if we get enough, to go in the convention bags.
This is a great chance for name spreading, without a bigger item. We’re gathering free items for our con bags- so far we have a great tote bag, a small flipbook by Reapersun (To be given out after the afternoon Tea!) and an artcard(possibly mini-Artcard set!) by Cara Mcgee.
We also are getting (at least one per bag!) Tea Sample for each bag, and have a few surprises in store already, but with a few donations of buttons or postcards, we could really bump it up!
Please contact us at BayAreaSherlockian@gmail.com to give us the website and info you would want listed as well as to receive the shipping address to send any type of donation to!
