 		Sad thing is I had no problem reading that first time.

I want a reward, but I don't want to have to get up to get it, so a long and even a swift journey are both out.

 		Hey, I was able to figure it out also (for the most part).
Yay, a hidden message that isn't so difficult that it leaves us newbies and klutzes in the dark!!

Fun time in Vegas soon?

 		If I had to guess, I'd say there won't be any more pages in that series, but seems there will be two paths for prizes in honour of the con.

"Paths for Prizes" Sounds like a good game show name.

Actually, this isn't a source code 'message' (comment) per se. The text is on the page, below the clock. It's just black. Highlight to read.

 		In the source code (is this a clue or just spacing info):
<!--2452756.20833-->

On the page (highlight to read)

A specific date, a specific time, a specific place.

Could the chosen pictures on each page be important?

I'm still trying to place the hotel pool on the final page.

 		Whoo-Hoo! Diandra - you rock! Laughing

I got the date and time (once I guessed that it was a julian date), but no way would I have been able to identify the place (even with the "pink taco" hint in o.jpg).

Congratulations!
