July 28th, 1998 The pictures Jo Fox took as our official con photographer are developed and she has three sets to sell. She will handle this from her end. Available sets are:
Contact Jo at joorl@joorl.com. July 22, 1998 I know its been a couple of days since the con ended and y'all are wanting an update, but this is only going to be a preliminary one. I'm still struggling to get my head above water. :) 99 people from six countries plus the US registered for the con. 85 people from four countries plus the US attended. It cost almost $4800 to mount the con and we have managed to come out in the black. Hallelujah! Our efforts for charity exceeded our wildest dreams. Combining the podium auction, silent auction, brunch, raffle, and concession stand, we raised $6903.80 for City Union Mission and Rose Brooks Center!!! I'm speechless! Thank you, Leapers.
What items went for in the Podium auction will be added to the Auction List of our site as soon as I can manage it. If there is something you'd like included in the next update, contact us at kcleap@aol.com The committee would like to thank everyone who made this possible, especially you, the fans. JULY 6, 1998 Natasha Pavlovich (LEE HARVEY OSWALD, THE COMA EPISODE) has just let us know that she will be able to join us next week as one of our special guests. This is Natasha's first regional con and she is looking forward to joining us. We have been very impressed as we've become acquainted with Natasha, and we think you will be too. JUNE 19, 1998 Beverly Leech (SEABRIDE) has accepted our invitation to be a special guest. This will be her second regional QL con, and we look forward to seeing her again. Welcome aboard, Beverly! JUNE 18, 1998 The good news is Daniel Roebuck is doing a play in Los Angeles. The bad news is it opens the weekend of KC Leap so he won’t be with us. We continue to pursue additional guests. With 29 days to go, we are only fourteen seats from a sell-out. Donations to the charity auction have been outstanding. Look for the podium auction list to be posted the week of July 3. JUNE 7, 1998 40 days and counting until KC Leap! 85% of our seating is sold, but the back row is only 22' from the stage so the remaining seats are still good. We plan to post the list of items that will be available in our podium auction two weeks prior to the con. Stay tuned in and we will let you know as soon as we can when we've booked another guest in addition to Daniel Roebuck and John D'Aquino. MAY 17, UPDATE 3/4 of our seating is sold and we're counting down the days to the con! We are still working on lining up one more guest in addition to John D'Aquino and Daniel Roebuck. I'll let you know when we get that arranged. With new attendees from Canada, we now have people registered from 6 countries besides the US! For those of you who have all ready registered, you need to confirm your hotel reservations. In the US call 1 (800) 525-6322. If you live outside the US, you can contact us for the Hilton phone number in your country. MAY 15, UPDATE Cost of registration is now $55 and attendee update letters will be in the mail within the week. APRIL 22, UPDATE KC Leap has gone international with attendees all ready registered from England, Wales, France, Germany, and Switzerland. This trend may even flow over to the guest star arena. Two-thirds of the available seating is reserved.

MARCH 20TH, 1998 UPDATE
